hey. Ross. wanted to thank you for sharing your knowlegde. You are one of the best players I came across on TH-cam. the tighest cajon player ever seen. thanks. Amazing. keep sharing :) love it.. peace
Well, I guess the idea of verbalizing the patttern is cool. I dont know if Mike Johnston is really inspired by Benny Greb or not (in that case it should be cool too, since maybe Benny is his big inspiration, dont know for sure lol) but he has kinda the same idea about verbalizing :d. U can watch Benny on Drumeo, there's a part which he did do the football clave by hands while saying 4/4 signature out loud, which is then quite difficult to master. About this polyrhythm, I find it very useful to practice modern dance such as samba, techno disco...
I still got lost with that Benny's concept haha. Even this polyrhythm, for me it's doable but back in the past, I struggled at this since I just practiced on my own with no method or verbalized lines or something like that :D.
This explanation makes the difficult topic of polyrhythm a simple matter. It is wonderful! I suppose that Bossa Nova, the most famous Brazilian rhythm, must be played as a polyrhythm. May I suggest that you make a video about Bossa Nova? I would love to see you perform a Bossa Nova song.
completed.. cool 1st it's hard but after some practice it's suicidal fun.. I tried it when you upload this video dear champ... but can you please tell where I can use this?? rhythm
Ross I had a question, why can't you just keep your right hand where the bass is and your left hand where snare is? I play like this and it seems fine am I missing something? Maybe some of the super fast double bass or double snare stuff is a lot harder but besides that I don't really see a downside to playing the way I do. Thank you for reading
Jeff D. Hey Jeff thanks for the great comment there’s lots of detail here for us to talk about. In my opinion, you can only get so far with a designated bass hand and a designated snare hand. Do you play ghost notes in grooves? It’s okay if it’s not really your style but ghost notes give that underlying flow to a groove in my opinion. So if your right hand is playing every bass note and your left hand is playing every snare note then that means sometimes you would have a large number of hits in a row with just your left hand. Even this is totally manageable I’m sure for some grooves at a reasonable tempo (not super fast). I’m doing a little experiment now to find some of the grooves that you might like to play in the future but would be difficult using the method you’re using now. Mostly I’m thinking of halftime grooves, triplet grooves and fills, shuffle grooves and hits like flams. I’ll link some videos in my next comment if that sounds okay to you.
@@rosslmccallum woahhh thanks for replying! I'll check this out :) I'd think ghosts are still very doable with designated hands, even finger light drumming only snare, but I'm super new to this. Like, a drummer on a set had designated hands. Is this a common question? Thank you for reading bud :)

very useful and smart and...smily... thank you! I'm49 years old and I'm trying to learn cajon at home. You inspire me very much.
Hey Franco! I'm very happy that I can help. Leave a comment again any time you need help with something.
Thaks man you are a good teacher i am learning so much with your videos
Thank you, Jose! I'll keep working hard to help you along the journey as much as I can.
Easy. Count the least common multiple of 3 and 4 which is 12. The left hand hit on 1,5,9, right hand hit on 1,4,7,10
Wow, I'm Japanese and not good at English, but this video is easy to understand!! Great!!
spectacular video with exceptional teaching

Wow...Very nice off beat...I don't know why I didn't feel too much hard but its completely new...Great.
Awesome! Soo much harder to verbalize than play!

Mauro Chierici Lopes Thanks so much! Yes maybe a bossa nova lesson needs to come soon.
Wow, thanks! I can’t wait to try this.
I can only do this naturally with my left hand playing the 3 beat, right hand the 4. This isn’t a problem is it?
Awesome
Thank you!
what cajon is that it has a really good sound
Sela Dark Nut :-)
That's great
Great tutorials overall. One critique for your tune specific tutorials, end them playing along with the tune, that would be great!
Thank you! Yeah copyright has been a constant challenge but one way or another, backing music is coming to my lesson videos.
as always great video :)
Can u please tell me which mic you use in your videos
love it
So good!
completed.. cool 1st it's hard but after some practice it's suicidal fun.. I tried it when you upload this video dear champ...

Nice work! If the whole band plays something like this together then maybe intro or outro or bridge works!

@@jeffd.3883 A pretty common question yeah. No worries. Let me know how your practice goes :-)
Hi Ross, can you tell me what genre or style of music fits best with this rhythm please. Even a song suggestion would be great to practice with.
I've heard it in everything from pop to metal but here's another video that has some good examples th-cam.com/video/CtZ74JdxCt0/w-d-xo.html

interesting!
It took me some time to get the rhythm but at last I succeeded. But every time I try to count, my brain gets messed up completely.
That’s the next thing to practice! You’ll be able to do it soon.
@@rosslmccallum Thank's for your encouragement! I keep trying.
Ross play 3/2 clave in one hand and other hand play 4.
Sounds good doesn’t it!
@@rosslmccallum yes try it... It really interesting
Funny ;-)
Please don't hit your heart! It don't like this!
Greets to Tokyo!!

You could've just said, "pass the flip'in butter".... just saying.
It's easier to learn if you're a drummer😂
That’s always true for different rhythmic stuff like this I think.
You lost me at G.D. butter.
Fair enough. Another is “what atrocious weather”.
