  • Cajon with strings or spirals? What is the difference between them and is any of them better than the other? :)

  • Would these be very comfortable as a dr throne for my kit? I'm do use double bass so I'm curious what it would feel like doing double with a fill while sitting on one of those cajons

  • Nice

  • Nice

  • This guy is amazing

  • FUNKY!!!!

  • Cajon: instrumento peruano cuyo origen porviene de un antiguo intrumento indigena llamado "Checo" que es una calabaza hueca durante el virreynato se prohibio los instrumentos africanos y todo tambor hallado, fue quemado. Hacia 1813 .Los esclavos adaptaron cajones de madera, usados para transportar mercadería.

    CAJITA Ritmica: instrumento pequeño que consta de una caja de madera con una tapa sujeta de un lado a una manija usada inicalmente para pedir limosna documentada desde 1780

  • this is so dirty that i had to switch the tab to pornhub when my mom walked in

  • My kitchen table makes the same sound

  • COOL!!!

  • Kiwi Amigo uses one of these /watch?v=iK-iv-lgumA

  • What is the circular instrument that stands near Kuckhermann's left knee?

  • @MarekMurias It's a bodhran :P Irish drum played in most Celtic pieces.

  • why he lifts his leg is he going to pee on it ?

  • @HarryLostOne you can change the sound

  • @HarryLostOne

    Haha applying pressure to different areas of the cajon with your foot can change the tone- it's pretty tricky! or maybe he just had too much water before the solo...

  • i didn't know barack obama knows how to play the cajon..

  • he's not really utilizing the bass part of the cajon just the snare... might swell just stick to a snare drum

  • I have one of these. It is very light and works fine unplugged. You just have to hit or harder. The only thing is it needs a staple surface to sit on, sand wouldn't b too good, but it's sweet and everyone seems to like the sound it makes.

  • How portable are these instruments? Are they heavy? Is it something you can easily carry to the beach or a park on a summer day?

    How loud are they relative to an acoustic guitar and voice without microphones?

  • Hello, everyone! My brothers and I (my 2 brothers are 15 & 13, and I am 9 years old) really love to sing, & we love to share our talents! So, in our channel we did a cover of Jessie J's price tag, Christina Perri's Jar of Hearts, Adele's someone like you, rolling in the deep, turning tables, chasing pavements, and don't you remember. You checking out our channel is all the help we need to make our dreams come true; let each one of us be a firework too!

  • Quite funny how some americans here want to seem smart saying the instrument is "african" (as if it was a precise term for its origins hahaha). All the countries have had influence from a lot of cultures, fortunately those africans came here and created this beautiful instrument. The cajon is widely used in many peruvian folk music such as marinera, festejo, son de los diablos, etc.

    EL CAJÓN ES PERUANO!

  • this guy hasnt this african heritage that could make him play it chevere ya ustedes saben

  • El cajon es Afroperuano, es verdad que esta hecho por africanos, pero no es un intrumento autoctono de africa como la Kalimba o la Kora, la música etnica africana no utiliza cajón. En ese sentido el instrumento es peruano, creado por el pueblo peruano que es mezcla de negros, chinos, indigenas, eurpeos, etc. los pueblos son la gente que los compone, no otra cosa, y es la música de la gente del Peru la que utiliza el cajón, la quijada, etc. son ritmos propios del Perú como el lando o el festejo.

  • what are you doing dude?

  • TE LA COMISTE BIEN COMIAAAAA-FELICIDADEZ=CONGRATU­LATION

  • TE LA COMISTE BIEN COMIAAAAA-FELICIDADEZ

  • Just fucking enjoy his solo -.-

  • @porkymor1 well said! its tiring seeing tards arguing rather than just enjoying the music!

  • Okay, people. Calm down. The cajon is an instrument first created by african slaves. Yes, it was created IN peru, but not by peruvian people. So technically it's African. Technically. Also, to the "his moving leg looks homo" people, he slides his foot up and down the drum to change the pitch.

  • @ipunchpigs Thank you. Someone else who understands my point.

  • Its originally from PERU you numbskulls. Look on wiki.

  • @daredevillv Wiki aint that reliable man. Its african. Not peruvain. Just made in peru way back wehn

  • @amandomoreno123 you say that cuz your not from Peru. Trust me go to Chincha and ask where the Cajon is from.

  • bester nachname ever^^

  • @AcousticNic - Also, not to sound cold but honestly I think you're getting too hung up on the ethics / morality of the slave trade at that time and using it to justify ownership of one group over another. Obviously it's an ugly history & it's a given that slave masters Spanish, American, or otherwise were oppressive which lead to distinct flavors in different music traditions. However, as those traditions evolve they take root in the new location

  • @AcousticNic - I see where you're comin from but I've got to side w/ some of the other people commenting, the Cajon has distinct routes in Peru. Yes, the whole foundation of the percussion itself is African in origin, but then again SO much of music is a distillation. Afroperuvian music is just less removed from its roots than say Gospel, Blues, or Rock. In my eyes, what makes it Peruvian is the infusion of the two cultures each generation.

  • @TMArtist13 thums to you bro. I'd really just enjoy the solo if there just weren't people who like to ramble on about the origins of cajon being "African", spanish or else..

  • why is his leg goin up and down

  • @mmthebeast It controls the bass outlet and tom tone but is not required.

  • im pretty sure that anyone is as good as this guy. it has two notes...it's not THAT difficult to play....

  • David .... Sides?! :D

  • I don't think it will necessarily replace a drummer but it sure would be great in the studio for us nondrummers when the drummer is out finding a new girlfriend to live with. also a great accent to the percussion section. I like it!

  • omg , some cajon while high ..

  • Are you paying Clyde stubblefield his royalties for playing the funky drummer beat?SMH... The Cajón is not a drum set!

  • is that vcu coach shaka smart?

  • I used to play the steering wheel of my 78 country squire wagon. I was quite good at it, master even.

  • Cajon is a peruvian instrumen... It was created for black slaves in Peruit doesn't sounds like a European or American instrument..because is Peruvian 100%.. Great performance !!!...

  • @Ivanbsm dude music is music. 

  • yeah! drum and bass! ^^

  • great chops man!

  • Great!!!

  • i like it very much about 0:39

  • PERU PERU PERU!

  • was bringt des eig. wen man den fuß nach oben macht ?????????

  • @TheJabbawokeegirl durch den druck vibriert die oberfläche anders, daher ändert sich auch der ton

  • @TheJabbawokeegirl

    Hört man doch :D

    Der Sound wird tiefer oder höher.

  • This people have lost the complete idea of playing cajon.... They think it's an instrument of making tricks.... You should see Alex Acuna and you'll see a real cajon player!

  • @elbettto who says you have to play a certain way. I love alex acuna and ive seen him play some great stuff on cajun. David k hasnt lost the idea hes simply creating new ones and playing whith his own inspiration.

  • @elbettto who says you have to play a certain way. I love alex acuna and ive seen him play some great stuff on cajun. David k hasnt lost the idea hes simply creating new ones and playing whith his own inspiration. but hey its your opinion.

  • One hand cajon Technique

    watch in

    youtube.com/watch?v=KM8wglhaD4­A

  • There's your drum kit right there. Next up: Guitars.

  • He's much more faster than me.

  • Very Good!

    See Cajón Eduardo Gema: watch?v=1N3LHuwtqvI

  • Very nice! I play a "Kingdon Cajon" which was built out of 200 year old English Oak and sounds fantastic which I use in a wide variety of rock and folk settings. When I play gigs I'm set up and ready to go in a couple of minutes. Bonus! When I played a full kit I'd have to show up 30mins before everyone else and leave 30 mins after everyone else. No longer!! Check out my videos by searching for "Rai Clews"

  • nice

  • buen ritmo

  • si dicen q la musica une q no se diga q nos separa un instrumento, el cajon flamenco es solo una evolucion del peruano, pero no x ello deja d ser unico, y si esto no les gusta hubieseis sacado la petente

  • awesome technique

  • rectificando... quien ha traido el cajon peruano al flamenco fué el brasileno ruben dantas cuando acompanaba paco de lucia... ;)

  • Brilliant!!! Great music David, I learn every time i watch you play!

  • add a hand cymbal and you got a lot of options

  • No existe el cajon flamenco,el instrumento es cajon Peruano,ES COMO PONERLE A UNA GUITARRA 7,9 o 12 cuerdas y pintarla de mil colores,pero el instrumento simepre sera el mismo,EL CAJON ES PERUANO 100%

  • This guy has banged more box than anybody I know!

  • Felicidades por los moros y gitanos que lo pueden disfrutar! olé!

  • Seguramente en algunos años tambien veremos Cajones Peruanos popularizados en Japón u otras tierras lejanas, quizá con algún enchape, alguna cuerda que esté de más, o pintada de otro color, igual, en Perú siempre nos sentiremos felices de haber contribuido a un antes y un después de cualquier ritmo musical.

  • y los panchitos estos, como si lo inventaron los rusos, y que mas da si no sabeis ni tocarlo bien.

    A vender figuras de madera.

  • QUIETO FUMON

  • nice box what make is it ?

  • Comment removed

  • ace. i'm getting one for sure

  • puta madre

  • yeah we build a lot of cajons in our engineering at school

  • reminds me of beatbox ^^

  • can some1 tell me what type of cajon is this please?

  • Comment removed

  • Bad sound without bass bad cajon Mario Cortes, the best Granada Drum cajon

  • Well Done. :D

  • IK cajons ROCK!

  • Amazing playing! I love playing my Cajon. I like a rock sound without too many "frilly" bits - I gues I can't play them too well. I've been playing a British made Kingdon Cajon which I tilt back rather than sit on. It's got a great rock sound which fits in well with other instruments. I've got some videos on YouTube - search for kingdoncajon.

  • WOW!!! That is AMAZING!!!

  • jaja ese man tocapelotas....cree que estudiando se logra tocar bien...ajaa

    aqui en ica a la gente le sale solito, sin academia...como los cubanos con su bongo...unacosa es hacer malabares percusivos y otra cosa es elaborar melodias y ritmos...jajaja...busca

    patricia izquierdo aqui para que aprendaas y veas...

  • entonces segun tu man, si pongo a un austriaco ensayar mil horas un son , sonara con el ritmo de chano pozo...

    una cosa es la velocidad y otro el ritmo, crees que ser mas rapido o hacer mil toques te hara sonar con sentido del ritmo y sabor...???...hay muchos que nunca han pisado una clase de teoria musical como benny more....y a ver anda busca uno igual.....y el tipo de este video no me parece extraordinario...sera porque he visto extraordinarios percusionistas ....

  • tocapelotas76 si te habrás dado cuenta, son tecnicas diferentes y lo que el toca no tiene nada de afroperuano, como vas a tocar Congas igual que el bongo, son diferentes asi que mejor creo, que tu sobre nombre te queda bien, no seais asi tocamelaspelotas!!.

  • calla el ozico blancito espanolito gueveras

  • Bueno la palabra correcta es chauVinismo or chovinismo. La verdad no sé porque te molesta? Pero considero necesario aclarar la nacionalidad porque existen casos como el de el ceviche por ejemplo, que es muy diferente de aucerdo al país, ejm. el ceviche mexicano, no se si lo has probado? igual el cajon es desconocido por muchos actualmente y siempre se menciona "cajon peruano", sobre el charango la verdad no sé. Saludos!

  • could you tell me who makes that particular model? I'm interested in getting one

  • LP Mario Cortes Cajon

  • Todavia sigue este video cojudo , el hombre no pasa nada , este zambito mejor que me toque las bolas por que el cajon no sabe tocar

  • Cajón Peruano. Instrument 100% Peruvian. Great!

  • he visto cientos de comentarios como el tuyo k dicen, el cajon es peruano, el ceviche es peruano, el charango, etc etc. Acaso has visto ke los espanioles andan pregonando ke las castanuelas o la guitarra es espaniola o los escoseses k la la gaita es escosesa y asi sucesivamente? , ya es mucho chaubinismo, no crees?

  • muy buen punto tienes ahi..la razon porque nosotros los peruanos andamos "pregonando" como lo dices tu es porque muchos paises tratan de robarse los attributos peruanos como los chilenos por ejemplo..ellos estan diciendo que el pisco es de ellos cuando en realiidad el pisco es de los peruanos...otro ejemplo es la chica morada, eso es peruano, pero los bolivianos o los equatorianos no me acuerdo muy bien dicen que es de ellos. Por eso es que andamos "pregonando" Para que no nos roben

  • @yatusabesquien Thank You Peru!

  • @yatusabesquien Actually, the instrument isn't Peruvian at all. It's African. It was designed by African slaves in Peru. The only thing that would make it remotely Peruvian is the fact that the slaves made it there.

  • @AcousticNic hahaha it was made by afroperuvians not AFRICANS sons on africans born in peru so ..... yeah its 100% PERUVIAN

  • @KrAuZeR94 I'll say it again. It was made by African slaves in Peru. The only thing that would make it remotely Peruvian is the fact that the slaves made it there. Not sons of Africans born in Peru. (Even if that were the case, the sons would still be African, therefore the instrument would still be African.)

  • @KrAuZeR94 Slaves simply used boxes as musical instruments to combat contemporary Spanish colonial bans on music in predominantly African areas. In this way, Cajons could easily be disguised as seats or stools, thus avoiding identification as musical instruments. Need more? 

  • @AcousticNic I already knew that ... I'M PERUVIAN !

    THEY USED AS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM BEACUSE IN THAT TIME THE CHURCH FORBID ANY KIND OF INSTRUMENT , THEY THOUGHT IT WAS SOMEHOW RELATED WITH THE DEVIL

  • @AcousticNic dude you dont know shit man

  • @pacun1 Alas, I'll give you your internet tough guy battle win. You +1, Internet +6

  • @AcousticNic You have to be kidding, the "only" thing that makes it peruvian is the fact that was first designed and made in Peru by peruvian african/zambo/mulato slaves?

  • @keiv2004 This is getting old. I don't know where you're from, but let's say you're from Africa. I bring you over to Peru as a slave, to do my bidding. Would you consider yourself a Peruvian African? Or an African? My guess is you wouldn't want any association with Peru. This instrument was brought to Peru from Africa. It was made by Africans. Not Peruvians. Therefore it is an African instrument. Read the rest of my comments before you make an ignorant statement. Thanks.

  • @AcousticNic I'm sorry, but to me, people born in Peru and who lived in Peru their whole lives are peruvian. The cajon originated in african instruments, just as cumbia or merengue originated in african music, but I dare anyone say cumbia is an african dance. They are the product of a mix of people, cultures and experiences that occured in Peru and not in Africa.

  • @AcousticNic The name alone is a dead give away that you're mistaken. "Cajon" is an derivation of the Spanish word "caja". There is no doubt that it is the product of the evolution of the whole African tradition, but this instrument is distinctly Peruvian. The foundation of an instrument doesn't negate the place of origin. The cajon is no more african than gospel or blues it's just much less removed from the original tradition.

  • @AcousticNic so your saying wherever people are conceived that's where there from?

  • @dmurray716 Are you serious? I was conceived in North America. In the state of Georgia. So I'm from Georgia, North America. Yes, you dumbass. Where you're conceived is where you're from.

  • @AcousticNic i am sorry i wasnt the genius that said since the Cajon Box was made in Peru its african!

  • @dmurray716 I'm sorry, but I can't understand your broken English. Maybe you could re-write your comment using punctuation and proper grammar? Thanks.

  • @AcousticNic What African music have you ever heard a cajon played in? Just because it's thought to be made by African slaves in Peru doesn't make it an African instrument. It's used in Cuban and Peruvian music. That's like saying cotton is an African crop. And I don't mean that in a racial way at all, but that's how it compares historically.

  • @AcousticNic Actually, percussion started in Africa. Who are we kidding? They are the best on rhythm

    plus, yes, u right, the african slaves made it here, and I bet those slaves, after the abolition of slavery, felt more peruvian than ever.

    Or do u go around saying "it's a african instrument". I bet they would even feel discriminated because of considering them as a country instead of a continent if you say so...

    the cajon is pervuian, and it's a cultural heritage of our nation since 2001

  • @AcousticNic we in peru consider those africans as peruvians

  • @AcousticNic They were not africans, they where known as "afroperuanos" ...

  • @AcousticNic Yes! and I also I bet the guy who created the concept of the Drumkit didn't have any nativa american roots, therefore, the drumkit is not an american creation...

    ¿?

  • @AcousticNic yeah that logic doesn't work. every "american" innovation or invention was done by immigrants.

  • @AcousticNic False! It was made by afroperuvian slaves in Peru. It's in Peru where the cajon music stars.

  • @AcousticNic Actually the white house isn't american at all. It's African. it was build by African slaves. the only thing making it american is that it's build in america.

  • @mulfu When did he say, that it was American?

  • @Nick374a he didn't. he was just applying acousticnic's logic to the white house

  • @AcousticNic So, does that mean that people were wearing African cotton in New England?

  • what if u miss the snares and hit your balls

  • tell me you saw that one on boyce avenue's latest V log video

  • lmfao yeah, i did.

  • that wud be fucking funny

  • that would be a diferent sound, like empy shell. jejejee. and I think it can be a great adition to the cajon.

  • lmfao

  • play it naked will add an extra resonance.

  • @11447777 lol no kidding. xD

  • Absoloutley awesome!! could there be better accompaniment for the acoustic guitar than this?????

  • bad sound

  • amazing

  • Cupboard Box?

  • Amen

  • eL caon flamenco es muchisimo meor!! quien va a comparar y es andaluz!!! :P

  • Todo lo contrario, el verdadero cajon, el peruano, fue el que impacto a Paco de Lucia, que lo llevo a España para que despues lo cambien a "flamenco"

  • drum and bass :D

  • This is a really cool instrument!

  • el cajon es de peru

  • y el cajon flamenco? con cuerdas de guitarra atras...

  • Es una variacion del verdadero, el cajon peruano. Paco de Lucia lo llevo en los años 70 a España y alli con los años lo cambiaron.

  • Great playing David !

    I just bought the same cajon based on how great yours sounded. Unfortunatley mine does not sound near as good. The bass is good but I don't care much for the snare sound. Was that one tweaked or adjusted somehow. Or was it just the mics that made it sound so good.

    This is my first cajon so I don't know much about them. Thanks.

  • you gota move your feet up and down or just let it rest in the lower part of your cajon to get a god soun, it depends too if your cajon its peruano or español

  • just tweak the snare until you find the sound you like :) my one it very tight snare (as you can hear in my vids) but it's all personal preference

  • esse video tah mt massa.!

    o cara toca d mais!

    lega.!

  • El cajon es uno solo y es Peruano

  • man i want to learn how to play like him!
