- Dudizens, if you’re looking for any other way to percuss that next acoustic gig without mutilating your hands on stapled wood, hear ye the details of my journey; find ye some answers.
I am compelled by law to disclaim that, yes, cajons were harmed in the making of this video. But they harmed me first. Psychologically.
See the adudestic rig in action: • Drumming "Run" on an A...
Thanks for watching dudes, holy gratitude. \m/

2:15 "And also what happened to the bottom half of my face? *Oh right, I'M SITTIN' ON A CAJOOOOOON"!!!!*
MichaelD8393 you are doing God’s work. thank you so much
@@ARSZLB 😂
Cajon: murdered
Best part of this video!😂
@@LCODrums Yup 😂
I'm not even a drummer, I just enjoy the funny persona and the music
I frikkin' cried laughing at 2:16
As someone who is learning cajon this is the best anti-cajon video I've ever seen. it doesn't make me want to stop learning the cajon. It just makes me want to buy more gear!
"wooden participation box" ahaha! Best shit ever
To true XD
dude, you are so me if i was funny, good looking and talented.
Dude, you are so me, if i wasn't me, but was you instead
Dude, you are so me, except you're a dude and I'm a dudedette. Did I spell that correctly?
i asked a nashille musician once how the money was, i'm in ohio and make great money gigging.
he said, and i quote " oh it doesn't cost much at all to play in nashville"
Lol, Austin has the same problem. If it's not pay to play you have to do your own promotion and get a certain number of bodies in order to get the next gig. And you play at 7pm but can't leave until 3am because they close the road and the alley behind the bar.
I live and gig here as a drummer and make more than I’ve ever made at any other point in my life. Just depends on what kinda gigs you’re seeking out.
Dude... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! This is literally every awkward conversation I've tried to have with bands/potential gigs for years, wrapped up into a (perfect and hilarious) 20 minute video. I feel like I owe you. (Just showed this to a country band asking if I could play "cajon or something" for a series of acoustic gigs. Totally made my point for me 😁) Thanks!! Also, got the gig, without cajon 👍
“wooden participation box”
ded
I thought it was just me with the vigorous anti-cajon prejudice. Hurrah! Solidarity!
I guess you could say it takes some...cajon-es...to walk into a gig with this tiny drum set.
Not in the face, please.
that was actually quite nice
sure. just on the cajon-es.
It's what I was thinking every time he said cajon
Your siggy? BWAH-Ha ha!
The 'I'm Too Cool To Play The Cajon and Wanna Have A Good Snare Sound Without Hurting My Little Cocktail Sausage Fingers Without Playing The Evil Instrument That Is A Cajon'
the 'but i dont have enough calluses to play this' set
As some one who plays the cajon frequently, thank you. You have done my people a service. You could also just use brushes on the cajon and that makes it so you don't destroy your hands. That being said, I want all of the stuff you just showed in your video...
This is the single most entertaining drum related Video ever.
The "I'm Tired, Less Is More Anyway" snare.
"When a mommy snare and a daddy snare love each other very much..."
How Im gonna give my children "the talk"
The "At Least it's not the St Anger snare" Snare
Lloyd May right. Wtf was he thinking.
Haha good one !
"So we're off to a pretty demeaning start"
😂😂😂😭😭😂😂😂
ah poor cajon, sounds like its not faring well enough outside of its element, here in Perú, where its from, it ranges from being used in a very basic way by like ensembles of children all playing the same beat, to expert percussionists who exploit that wooden box to the max and get sounds from every corner (using the feet to do glides while tapping with the hands, or hitting the bottom corners with the back of the shoes), other than that its aptly used in spanish music (generally with the addition of strings or snare wires inside)
The pearl " M80-10GX-P7B58". I think it's catchy
Rolls off the tongue
Hahahahhaa
The Snare Necessities
canbuca best one
canbuca fuck rhcp
Thanks Dude!
It's from The Jungle Book. The bare necessities. Look it up.
The "No size doesn't matter snare"
I like it but too long, so just stamp it SDM
Hey Harry. Just found you, Dude.
Informativityness gets a Yeah, Baby out of 10 from me, but your delivery - Man! that hits the ForHesAJollyGoodFellow mark (and I'm from England, England, so I should let you know that's pretty awesome.)
Forthhencewith - I subscribe.
Congratulations.
I've seen this video pop up a few times but never clicked on it. This guy is a RIOT!!! I don't play music but might have to follow anyway.....good job!
the "ICan'tThinkOfANameForThisButItWouldBeCoolToHaveThatCuteLittleSnare" snare.
How am I just finding this beautiful channel now
Same!!!
Dude, this is a great video... but... I play the cajón and have been doing so professionally for the past 5 years. What most people don't understand is that the cajón is not meant to be a substitute to the drum set, instead, it is a percussion instrument on itself.
There are many ways you can incorporate the instrument into various settings, and many techniques that allow you to preserve your fingers and hands. It is not a drum set replacement (singer/songwriters!)
For smaller gigs where I believe a drum set is needed I do what you just showed... it's pretty sweet. But some people just get ridiculous with the cajón... lugging around cymbals, pedals and hardware... even other drums... might as well just bring a drum set. I agree, this whole cajón thing is getting out of hand... and it's definitively not for everyone. Cheers!
Eduardo Colon I still don’t wanna play it
You just tricked me into watching a Pearl commercial 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Corner Pocket" Snare.
Wow . . . I blew my mind with that one.
They should have named it the "Short Stack". Thanks for the fun video dude!
That's pretty good. I think "Short Stop" would also be acceptable.
Today I learned how to pronounce cajon
TrainedZombie yeah i thought it was ca-john
It's not cahone it's cajón, the J is pronounced.
You were pronouncing it right... you were just talking about food 😉
@@gxexrxmxaxnx Nope, it's pronounced like "Ka-hon".
@@gxexrxmxaxnx are you Portuguese?
I really wanted to put something clever and get that drum but all these other comments are so much better..
I may not be a drummer, but I can appreciate the work and interesting style this guy brings to the table. Good content my dude.
This video absolutely changed how I approach acoustic style gigs, and now I have a teeny tiny kit that will fit just about anywhere. And I'm no longer sitting on a damn wooden box. Thank you so much, man.
rename it "Cajon" so you can bring it to your gig and not get yelled at for bringing a snare
winner!!
Jeremy Reidy I should've read further down, didn't realize someone already said this!!!!!
Why did i lol to this
Love this video. Will be calling it the “wooden participation box” from now on. Might develop a product that you can tuck inside a cajon which slowly causes it to catch fire. Hate them more than banjos.
3:33 That scared the shit outta me
Me too lol, but it was so goddamn funny.
Ironically enough this video has helped to solve the conundrum I have been facing wherein I want to expand beyond the cajon but I don't want to broach full drum kit territory. Thanks for the tip!
Don't know how I didn't come across you until today. You are one seriously talented, witty, articulate, amusing and entertaining dude, dude.
I would call it "the second 10 incher I am packing"
TheZooNinjaS LMAO!!!
I just about lost it when you said "Eureka! Get NAM on thr phone."
The “rock it don’t overstock it” snare
DUUUUUDE!! Everything you said completely describes my feelings toward those damn wood boxes. Thank you sir!
...Baby Boom 🥁🤔
Just discovered ya this morning, you’re fun~ 😌👌🏼
The "I cajon believe it's not butter... dude" Snare
The "Ten Inch Grinch"
The "light as air" snare
When you said "my groove sounds crappy" i cried. Bro you are awesome.
For the last 6 years before pandemic i avoided playing live with bands because drums weren't allowed and you had to play a fucking Cajun. Who wants to play in a band with a Cajun. This video really made my day. Haha
the 'small but still overpriced snare'
Biggie Cheese you have no idea how Relatable that is, IDK why more people haven't liked it.
Biggie Cheese daaaaaaamn biggie thickest nibba I know
Luke'sAivation 500 fucking dollars
The "Barely There Backpack Snare"....
Harry, you're my favorite thing on the internet! You're a true hope for humanity. To always be humble, love what your career is and exude positive vibes all around!
One of my favorite videos on TH-cam hands down
The title of your video drew me in, but you already earned my thumbs up at: "Now I should start with acknowledging that the title of this video may very well have already alienated some of you. Maybe you do wanna play the cajon and if so, I salute you"
Is it weird that this is like my 6th time watching this?
Yes. Very weird. Unless you like dudes. Then, it's very normal.
Ahhhhhhh
No, I’m pretty sure it’s my 5th time
Oh my goodness!!! I thought I was the only one who loathed Cajons.
You know... I don't really mind playing cajon. I actually find it amazing how a wooden box can fill an entire room with sound. And I can strap it to my back to ride to gigs on the motorcycle. Another good thing about it is that it translates well into playing other hand percussion such as bongos or djembe, since playing any of those in different areas of the head produces a different sound. But ya know... if you wanna pack an unnecessarily complicated micro setup... maybe I'm just lazy. Lol.
These are the kind of videos that really teach you something no one else will. Please keep it up!!! I look forward to more videos!!
I picked up an M80 because of this video and am so impressed with the sound that comes out of it. Thank you Harry. You Rock Dude!
Should have called it "The Snarely There"
I agree, Dude!
Replying to yourself to make it look like people agree. Gnarly dude.
Ha, I was just being funny. Less Gnarly intentions for a Gnarly outcome.
Chuck Nix so gnarly
¡RUNNER UP! Radical puns dude. Contact me through harrymiree.com and get you a drum.
2:20 LMAO!! "oh right, I'm sitting on a Cajoohooho!" I almost died,
I feel exactly the same way about Cajons.....and I did convert a cheap floor tom into a bass drum using that same Pearl conversion kit. Rock on Harry!
You are like the most descriptive entertaininh story teller I've come across... subscribed!
O my gosh dude, this was AMAZING!!! More more MORE
"Wooden participation box" as it will hence forth be known as!!!
Smart Snare (like the car I guess, I'm not creative like these other people. I just want the drum)
Harry! Dude. I watched this video and literally the next day I received a text message asking if I had a cajon! I promptly said “no, but I do have a small kit that works better for the song.” So I just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to stand up against the evils of the cajon. Thank you dude.
I love this dude. Even if I wasn't learning to play and subsequently watching every TH-cam drumming video made.
The "Dude where's my Snare" Snare
thedragonlordify dude
The "I got nothing to compensate for" snare
Where is this guy, three months and no uploads 😢
This is probably the most captivating video on TH-cam. Love your personality
My second time here, I came here to celebrate! I was asked to play cajon today, and i said: Ok, but im not playing cajon, :) I got this small set, and I play with bushes, I'm very quiet, belive me :) IT WORKED!!! I got the gig! Thanks Dude!
I think Pearl should've called it the Noisy Cricket. That's a Men In Black reference. I looked it up and realized that movie is 20 years old. Dude...
Feel like I'm about to break this thing
fuck dude 20 years
The "In the Pocket " Snare
The "room to snare"
You da man, Harry!!! Not only are you a superb drummer, but now also a great innovator. Not surprised one bit, brother. Wishing you much continued success. Extremely funny video, too. 🤣🤣🤣
Death to the cajon!
The mug snare!
To mix that cocktail kit up and have breakfast as well.
I have to play cajon on the first of June at a wedding (first gig ever btw).
"The little jeep wheel on your kid's tiny car, dude."
Dude, that's so easy: "SNAREFACE"... Then you make a high production value commercial where the tiny snare has like snareguns and he's all decimating some Cajons, and you're all "Yo Cajon, say hello to my leetle fren". Pearl can sell posters which I will frame in plastic and hang above my nontraditionally colored pleather couch as a symbol of my machismo and design flavor.
AWESOME^^^^
Self-support much? 😂😂
A wooden participation box🤣🤣🤣. God I just love watching these over and over :)
Soooo, I just found this vid and oh my dude i need this in my life. I sold my pearl trap set years ago ( stupid) and decided to get back into drummin but thought a full on drum set would be too big thats why i gave up the sport years ago, not a gig friendly thing to play. So i bought a cajon this time in hopes to drum without all the big drum kit stuff. Dude did that cajon thing suck ( i sucked at it too). Didn't know how to fix the problem. Then found this vid...I have bought just about everything you suggested including the pearl shortdude. and am now on my way to building my own "Dude I don't want to play cajon percussion rig" . I have shipped back the tree stump to amazon and and waiting at the time of this post for my evans EMAD drum heads for my bass drum set up... Love your content, advise, personality and grooves. I know im late but im on beat now with your channel. ...........................do you have any suggestions for adding toms or do you think roto toms would work
"shop cajon"
"dude but what If I don't want to play the cajon?"
Call it 'tiny rick'
Call it "The Sna"
Dude, I'm the opposite of you. I'd sit in with AC/DC with nothing but a cajon and a pickup if they'd let me--in fact, I came across your video while looking for a tutorial on how to play cajon in a metal band--but that was funny AF. Thanks for the laugh.
Love this, I have been asked to play a few quiet gigs and a Cajon was mentioned, however I really didn’t wan to play that and this video really spoke to me! I like the set up and will consider that for the future x
The "gat-dern lego set" snare
"SNot thARE" snare.
that snot over thare
The 'Cajon Killer'
Got to love drumeo, never would have been exposed to your Chanel... The back beat fill concept was a very humbling video for me and it's practice implications where deceptive 😅 (I was like dude... This is simple)... It opened up a whole new way of playing through all genres, too many cats are focused on licks and trying to make the drum set a solo instrument in my humble opinion, and that defeats the point of music and well drums lol... We all forget vibe, groove and feel in the practice room... I salute you bru... 😅 Much love (England)...
Duuude, i don't wanna play the cajon either!
Also, i just realised that for some weird reason i am not subscribed to you... Changed that with just one dudalicious click.
Sorry for the imminent outburst of emotion, but i just saw another early video of yours and i feel i have to say that I'm glad you're still here :') I love you dude! And your videos. And your humour. And of course your playing.
"snarey mcsnareface"
" what happened to the bottom of my face?!? OH RIGHT IM SITTING ON TOP OF A CaJJJOOOOOOOONNNN!"
The Cajon Snare so you can say you're playing cajon even tho it's a snare
This guy is quite the character. I missed most of what he said laughing at the parts I did hear. No question this guy is a source of solid information for drummers and very entertaining.
I just found your channel,DUDE........ I love your points of view. I don’t fit into that box or any other ones for that matter. Dudett finding my way through the world of drumming as a wonderful way of rehabilitation for a left side that was paralyzed from nerve damage. Thank you for additional energy and inspiration.
