Video Quick Tip: Samba Rhythms for Drumset
Happy 11/11/11 to all!
Here we have a new quick tip video from LA Music Academy Afro-Cuban/Brazilian drum Instructor Aaron Serfaty, who has been playing professionally for 20 years. From 1980 – 1990 he was a first call session drummer in his native country of Venezuela. He moved to Los Angeles in 1991 to attend the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). Soon after he began touring and recording with Arturo Sandoval and Jon Anderson, and performing with Sergio Mendes, Dori Caymmi, Oscar Castro Neves, Frank Gambale, Shelly Berg, Juan Carlos Quintero, Rique Pantoja and Don Grusin. Aaron is also the director of the Latin Jazz Ensemble at the University of Southern California (USC).
In the video, Aaron discusses how to apply different traditional samba rhythms to drumset. Report back here with how your practice sessions went and if you have any questions, ask them in our comment section!

I think I’m gonna switch to the heel down method for the bass drum .. .i’m mostly self taught at the drums so do you agree with Aaron that heel down is the easiest? I’m trippin up about when I add the rim shots but a bit more practice and I’ll get it! Thanks a lot for this lesson video! It was a lot of fun!
Nice post! I love Latin Music.
Its like you read my mind! You seem to grasp a lot approximately this, like you wrote the e book in it or something. I feel that you just could do with some percent to drive the message house a little bit, however instead of that, that is great blog. An excellent read. I’ll definitely be back.
