DVD Reviews of Mel Bay Art of Bongo Drumming
DVD Review: Not for beginners
Summary: 1 Stars
The DVD lacks exercises. Salloum talks too much. He does not tell you what is that he is going to do as if you are supposed to know the stuff. I wouldn't want him for teacher. He does not show much of anything, only few basic things that do not go anywhere. The quality of the clips from other players is poor. The annoying rhythm seems to be longer than the portions that he actually demonstrates. At one point he states that what he is "teaching" is covered in his book, that does not come with the DVD. If so, the book should have been included.
Waste of my money. Now I have to buy another DVD to learn to play Bongo.
DVD Review: Must have with the "Bongo Book"
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're trying to self teach, and know little of percussion as I do, this is a "Must have" with "The Bongo Book". Some of the explanations in the book just weren't getting into my brain. This cleared it up quickly.
Description of Mel Bay Art of Bongo Drumming
This DVD is packed with informative chapters on history, selection, positioning, strokes, practice tips/exercises, clave, martillo, repiques/fills, bongo bell, soloing, and much more. The diverse rhythms explored on this DVD include martillo, bolero, jazz, rock, odd-time signatures, samba, and bossa nova. If that is not enough, a rare and special feature is highlighted footage and commentary of a bongo performance by the great Armando Peraza (Santana, George Shearing, Cal Tjader). Suitable for all levels, this DVD is sure to be a valuable addition to your percussion library.General DVDs
