Well, it might not be the "hippest" book around but if you are learning in a VACCUM, Like I am in Pocatello, Idaho - land of potatos, sugar beats, cattle, and scared sheep - Sansby & Dworsky's book - Conga Drumming: A Beginner's Guide to Playing with Time (& their accompanying video, which is humorously weird in parts) has been a big help to me. Bobby Sanabria's tape has also been VERY good, showing 3 different versions of Tumbao!
Man, if I could only have a flesh & blood teacher - but Poncho Sanchez and his Latin Jazz Band will be 50 miles north, in Idaho Falls, in March 2002. Bro', I'm simply living for that!!!
Good Luck,
Eric
