Pro Drummer Teaches You the New Orleans Mambo

Simple and super useful.

I love the way your drums sound

Brilliant. I was in a "mambo? rumba?" situation only a few weeks ago with a saxophonist I admire but had never played with. I faked it ok, but would have really enjoyed having this lick to pull out on demand. Thank you for the lesson here!

Great lesson-thanks, Stanton!

Fantastic! More like this please!! Could this be morphed into that family of grooves that includes Ray Charles' What'd I Say? Those double toms seem like they're related to the double tones of various conga patterns. Another thing that would be cool to hear your take on is how congas were used by the Meters, and who in NOLA used them first, and how "hand-to-hand" differs from the "manoteo" Cuban approach, and especially how the drummer changes and adapts when there is or isn't a conga playing on the gig. Still waiting on the edge of my chair for "Groove Alchemy II". Your "morphing" approach in the priceless first volume has been the most valuable single thing I've found as I've devoured all the drum education resources that are out there.

Love this groove!

Unsincronized?

Beautiful

Hey man, I like the way you explain things , thanks. I really appreciate it. And about the snare, that’s one of my favorite snares , I was actually planning to buy one but if I’m lucky enough to win it that would be awesome 😎

So great seeing and hearing this rhythm played by you. Inspired me to go back and shed Chapter 9 of “Take it to the Street.”

Very cool, and great work describing how to play it!

Nice clear explanation as is usual.

I'm pretty sure I heard this groove on crazyhorse mongoose!

why muffle those great sounding drums?

Fantastic, one of my favorites!

Great groove. Never done this exact sticking before in combo with the foot part. Feels great to play!

That really buzzed my diddle! Thanks for the great lesson

Compliments from the Netherlands! Thorough and clear explanation. Thanks for sharing.🙏🏻

Another great lesson, Stanton! I can’t wait to practice this.

as always ... unbelievable groovy and swingy.. and the fun factor is in between..thanks for you and your positive way of drumming ...without academic...toni from austria

So much fun to play!

Cool great nice and amazing drummer

Please give me a song that can be used as an example.

Awesome

Drum teachers HATE this SIMPLE trick, Try not to groove challenge (impossible)

Hi Stanton,
I' m a Drummer for different Stiles and in Bands for 30 Jears in Germany and I discovered your great Channel much too late.
Thanks for your great Inputs and for sharing your knowlege.
I cant wait to try this cool Mambo👍👍🙋🏻‍♂️

Stanton: Thanks. I play this to Comin' Home Baby in a jazzy brass band but had never figured out anything more than straight crotchets on the BD/HH. Any chance of the PDF? Please!!!!!

Nice step by step approach. Cool beat. Thanks.

Reminds me of Eh La bas! I’m definitely trying this on the next gig 🤘

👌 good one - thanks for sharing your skills - very inspiring,

Thanks
