Concerning power, my mentor tells me to play more to the center of the drum, or out onto the drum, away from the rim to get a more powerful sound, and to also incorporate the use of the bass stroke when playing tumbao. The point I'm trying to make is that the slap is not the only indicator of power. You probably know this already, but it helps to put as many ideas as possible out there for those who have much more to learn.

That's what I intend to do. I'm going to Puerto Rico to study with David La Mole Rodriguez...and after that, I've communicated to Giovanni hidalgo that I intend to visit him at his home in Florida. He's onboard....but I told him I'd do it in 1-2 years. I still have not really absorbed everything I could learn from the Mano and Mano DVD he has out and I want some time to really absorb La Mole's lessons.
