Great stuff.  I just got a Korg wavedrum and I need to spend time playing it, so this is exactly the kind of exercise I need to start doing to get my timing better.  Thanks Nick.

Terrific video! Thanks for sharing it - I've just added it to my youtube favorites.

I am on a mission to get a Cajon...


This has helped me a great deal to work out beats.

4/4 is everywhere!!!  Lol!   COOL!

Well done!

I heard some beats during your warmup that were familiar and seeing how they are done adds a whole new perspective.

I like when you added the index finger, then index and middle ... a cool technique, one that I'd never thought of. I've been adding bongos to my songs for a couple years now, and you've given me something new to try!
I used to play the bongos outside, but my neighbor complained. (Well, it was kinda late ...) That house is abandoned now, so maybe it's time for some afternoon drumming today.
One technique I use is to play the bongo with one hand and with a shaker in the other.
