I bought all Berloz. It cost me alot for three books...jury still out of this. Skoog little manual. Really inexpensive. This is the single Best little text for congas. I OWN them all. Everything. Incuding every video. If starting congas... Spiro video to start ( only half is really great but beginning is fantastic) Tomas Cruz book 1 Richie Gajete next for general rhytms and play a long Skoog book is Great...even a good timbale section Tomas Cruz book 2....... I have everything else....Berlioz is technique what I have looked through, Ponco tons of examples for mambo, cha cha,6/8 and merengue, Real Conga book (save your money), Tomas Cruz 3 ( Great for Timba), Anga vid great for 4 & 5, Spiro book kinda loose but has lot of great stuff ( must have ), Hildago vids great little tid bits, Conga book really & vid is begining but the 6/8 is really worth it, THE Garcia, LP, Conte vids all have at least 2 or 3 great ideas, Elaido book short & sweet...get it...I have more but forget at this moment Very Long answer the Skoog is a Rhytmn & technique..lot of Guanguaco, -havana, columbia, mantanzas, 6/8, effectos, hand stick, LOT of tumbao material...former teacher ideas and skoog studied w hevies.

I met Don Skoog in the year 2000 in Havana while taking a two week hand percussion course. Don had already been going to Cuba to study for a few years and has continued going each year since. His book has all of the rhythms that the percussion masters were teaching. Don has methodically transcribed everything that he learned. I highly recommend this book.

Don Skoog has broken down conga and timbale technique into straight-forward, comprehensive sets of techniques that teach the beginner and intermediate students fundamental technique, Latin rhythms, and concepts, as well as challenge the advanced percussionist with technical exercises for one, two, three, and four drum conga set-ups. All musical examples are presented in a concise manner, and each page is packed with excellent information.
