Re: Giovanni Hidalgo
Awesome clip, rat! Can't believe someone was upset that Hidalgo wasn't playin' his "own" congas (the Giovanni Hidalgo series I've drooled over at Guitar Center), but as I posted, the mark of a great conguero is how he (or she) can make any conga sound...and Hidalgo is probably the best conguero out there! (Sorry, Pancho...I dig your playin', too, but...)
Thanks for showin' us a mark we hand drummers can aim for, bro'!
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
