this is like how i tend to loop congas.
mostly i have been learning afrocuban beats and it is
great practice to play each part into the repeater (or acid on pc)
then drop one out and work that part...
i have yet to perform on congas, since just getting the strokes
right has taken more than a year (and still working)
