Afro-Cuban Rhythms for the Drum Set - Part 5 - Songo

Here is Part 5 of a multi-part video series on modern Latin drumming.
This lesson explains some modern ways to play the Songo rhythm on the Drum Set.
My book, Advanced Coordination for Drum Set and Hand Percussion, is used for all of the playing examples.
The equipment I am using consists of:
Pork Pie Drums
20"x 16" Bass Drum
Toms: 8"x 8", 10"x 8", 14"x 12"
Canopus Zelkova 14"x 5" Snare Drum
Porkpie 10"x 5" Snare Drum
Cymbals are Sabian 20" Jack DeJohnette Signature Ride with rivets
Paiste Traditional 16" and 17" crashes and a 10" traditional splash
Sabian HH 13" Regular Hi-Hats
Sabian 12" AA Mini Hats
Wuhan 20" thin Lion Cymbal
Cowbells are J.C.R and L.P
Heads on toms are Remo Pinstripes
Bass drum is an Aquarian Power stroke 1 head.
Snare is a Remo Skyntone head
Microphones are a AKG C24 stereo overhead and an AKG D112 on the Bass drum
