    No, it's not good.

    A bongo solo can be effective, but usually only in context. You need to be playing with a band that's providing a regular backbeat behind you for your playing to make any sense. It just looks like you're bashing away at random - I can't tell if you have any sense of rhythm, or any capacity to get different types of timbre out of the bongos. You look like someone pretending to be a bongo player.

    Maybe you take the bongos seriously, maybe you don't. Assuming that you do, I would give you 1 out of 10 and would advise you to practice harder and play with somebody else who will provide a backbeat next time.

    If you're just fooling around and deliberately wasting our time, thanks a bunch and don't do it again.

    Awesome! Go to Cuba, they need good percussionists like you there. The other answerers are just in awe of your impressive technique and would love to even dream of being just one tenth as incredibly rhythmic and cool as you are.

    do I get the ten points? oh go on

    NO. Take some tips from Bonham "Moby Dick", or even Moby.

    Not a chance. I could do the same, and that's bad.
