Bongos
Instruments / Bongos
Bongos add a bright, chattering layer on top. Keep the martillo steady and save the fills for where they count.
Roadmap
- 01
Finger technique & the two heads
The macho (high) and hembra (low) heads, and the finger/heel strokes that get a clean sound from each.
- 02
The martillo
The steady "hammer" pattern that is the bongo's default engine — even and relaxed, it just keeps ticking.
- 03
Fills & accents
Breaking out of the martillo for accents and answers, then dropping neatly back into it.
