Comment About The Movies

Clifford, I still have not received your rumba book, but waitng desperately. About the movie clips. I have to take my hat off to you MAESTRO!!!. For me you are the greatest. When I listen to you playing my whole body trembles with joy. I feel like you are making the drum sing the most beautiful tune that there could be. It really penetrates my soul as a spirit listening to you. i'm happy for you and congradulate you deeply,!!! for making beautiful  drum music.
Tu amigo, Franc



Clifford, as a low-intermediate conga player, I would like to thank you for the great job you've done with your conga solo movies. Sounds and images are really good. Focus being on your hands, it's easy to share your nice technique. Thanks again for this great educational work which is a good complement to your book.
Best regards, Marc

Clifford, those are awesome movies - it's exactly how I'd like to play, on bongos and conga (I also liked the different tracks you played along to)- though I've just started it gives me a lot to look forward to. Also, I'm working on your book and looking forward to the next one.
Thanks, David

Hi Cliff, my heart is laughing hearing your licks. Hope your 2nd book is coming this year. Your concept with the notation and clips works exteme well. With the movies you transport the feeling and happiness to me. And with the notation it's possible for me to repeat all your fantastic licks as often as I need it. It's much easier for me than to have only a movie. So you are my teacher #1. Even if there are a few kilometers between us. I really love your licks. Thanks for your great work. You can be proud about that.
Thanks very much, Jörn
