We are all different tipes of musicians, thats what makes it interesting.

I made this video just after I got a cajon. I have kept it here coz its popular.

I respect the traditional players and style I have spent my whole life repecting traditions and also trying to make my own sound and push things in a different direction. All this talk of "you must play in the traditional way" is so counterproductive to actually maintaining a tradition.

The tradition must evolve to be preserved

Peace. P :)

[ArcticMonster]

That is very good. I just got a CAJON last month and starting to learn it. this will help alot.

I am a drummer with 20 plus years experience, so I think that will help to master this wooden box. 

Keep it up.

haven't gone through all the comments, but I'm really curoius what make cajon this is. I'm looking ....and finding more types than I ever imagined. I really like the snare version, which allows you to turn on/off the snare.

Awesome solo BTW

Nice Paul! I'm getting my first cajon next tuesday. I will definitely give some of your techniques a go!

[LydiaTheLion]

Ironic that there is so much comment about correct technique and where the instrument has come from for something which was originally a 'make do' instrument. Traditions only evolve by somebody having a go and messing around. Other people listen to it and copy it and it becomes a style then a tradition.

There is room for old and new styles everywhere.

The style that I see this man play in is the way that all the cajon players I know play. The important thing is to make music surely?

[AceReid]

If I could figure out how he does the finger roll/slap in the beginning and the rhythm he uses using the back of the cajon at 0:20, I will be a happy school girl.
