You did a great job in this video and I think people didn’t understand the idea of it. To me, the goal is not to replace the drums but understand what you could do in the cajon and what is the corresponding sound of it in the drums. People are so dramatic, omg.
Your last sentence sums up the majority of comment sections on general ha
Totally agree! I mean, cymbals are a whole new rabbit hole by themselves! I think the Cajon can possibly be an extension of a kit! 🤩🤩🤩
I love the way how he randomly keeps his Minions on the floor.
I have both. I recommend both because they each have qualities that are tailored for different situations.
Just dont treat cajons as a replacement for drums. It is whole different instrument that you use to get that nice crispy accoustic sound usually coupled with accoustic guitar/bass. It gives a different vibe than drums and i think thats enough of a reason to play the cajon.
Oh no, DO treat the cajón as a replacement for drums if thatś what you need to get started, Alejandro did a great job making this analogy.
well said
Yeah!
Painltd umm no. Our bodies build muscle memory when we learn beats. The Cajon does NOT replace a drum set. It truly is it's own percussive instrument. Typically, I personally use it when the bass player at my church isn't able to make it. It is perfect for acoustic sessions.
Cajon is best for acoustic sessions.. urgent gig.. its a space saver.. portable..and would sound good when with mic
Reason #1: not enough back problems already.
U shouldn’t slouch ur back while playing
@@pianistik4570 I'm quite tall and most of it is in my back, so it's pretty hard for me not to. But you're probably right, I could learn a better posture on cajon.
JS however tall you are, all humans have almost the same proportion of hands to body.
You can hinge your back forwards just dont bend it
@@23backslash23 that's false. People come in all different kinds of proportions
7:03 totally blow my mind
I was told to get a drum to help with healing from trauma (grounding, rythem, reconnecting with self) and found your video looking for ideas. The way you present this explains how to use the cajon so well thank you. Helps in understanding to break it down into parts like that. Made up my mind to get one! In appreciation. 💗🙏💗
Check out Reno Healthy Rhythms 😋
That’s “Remo Drums”, sorry for the error (spell check…)
Cajons are very easy to make, I made mine some years ago, and it sounds really good. If someone here likes woodwork, that's a very good project
I have drums and a cajon too. Both are fun to play for sure! For more drum-like hats and crash I use foot tambourines on my feet. Which is like playing a drum set upside down. The cajon is for certain styles though, for heavy rock, metal I need my drums! During lockdown, the cajon has been really nice to have for home practise since it’s naturally suitable for quiet playing.
i can so easily picture an earthy, acoustic melody to this- i love how it sounds. honestly tempted to pick one up and learn it now, since i havent done percussion for years
Thanks for the great lesson , I now enjoy playing my cajon, you make it easy to understand the concept of rhythm.
Beautiful instrument ❤
Bass is more beautiful than drum
@@danialputra9298 Yes but,if drum and bass play together,it's gonna be Beautiful❤️
Such a fantastic way of relating the Cajon to a kit. I bought my Cajon primarily as a portable bass drum to play with a piccolo snare. It’s great to know that it takes on similar characteristics as that of the different parts of my kit, when I’m not around my kit, while also wanting to find out how to find it’s voice as a separate instrument. Amazing video❣️
pair this with a acoustic guitar and boom. Gonna buy me a cajun
Thanks for the tutorial! I recently bought my first one and this is very informative and will help me learn to play it.
I'm a Latin bassist and had the opportunity to play a cajon at a Puerto Rican bomba-fest and I absolutely loved it. I was on the edge about whether to buy a cajon or not and this video sold me. I have a drum kit available at my house for fellow musicians to use when we jam but I like the bass better. But after playing the cajon, I felt that it could love to play it almost as much as playing bass. Sometimes I play acoustically with friends where we don't have the opportunity to have a bass and I typically just play hand percussion. But I would jump at the chance to play a cajon instead! Thank you for such a great video. I dig your white drum kit. Mine's white too, but not the same finish. I like your minions, too. That was really cool! ☺
Awesome comparison of Cajon & Drums, to understand it's features. The bonus is Alejandro's personality!!
I’ve just ordered a cajon, you’re tips and lessons are brilliant, i can’t wait to play 😁👍🏻
Great
Great . can i borrow?😢
Congratulations
For coffee table or to stack laundry
As a Peruvian I’m glad that you are enjoying our culture! Much love from Peru!
Great video. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for putting this together!
Recuerdo cuando te miraba reaccionando a canciones, te miraba por CD9, que padre es ver lo lejos que a llegado tu canal, sigue así
Excelente! Estaré esperando más “covers” a cajón!!!!
Se vieneeeeen!
Great job man, wonderful sound too! Keep going 🤘🏻
Thank you for your video. I just recently started playing the cajon. These are great tips.
Cajon, makes sense. I live in a city in an apartment. There are places where a drum kit won’t fit, for reasons of space, budget, even decibels. The cajon looks like the perfect percussion for a trio that plays coffee shops, with maybe something really hipster like a ukulele and a one string stick bass, sound would get fat with harmonizing vocals. Yeah, something like that.
Ueah its cool if you need a small set up I might start rapping to one.
Why not just an acoustic guitar to go along with the cajon so you wouldn’t really need a 1 sting bass
I wanna set up a Cajon to a kick pedal so I can play bass and do vocals. your idea sounds sick you should definitely give it a go.
This is awesome. I never knew they called this a cajon...I definitely want to try it one day😃
Great video brother! Seems as though for me I can connect better with my hands better than with drumsticks in between my hands and drums. Does that wound odd to you? God Bless!
Great video. I have been learning cajon since 2020 and your video is very inspiring. Blessings!
I really appreciate the breakdown of the 3 separate parts of the TAPA! (1:00 - 2:00) -- In my mind, I'm translating from a drum KIT to a single BOX cajon... Thanks, Alejandro!
Really enjoyable and super-simple. It's even nice to leave this video playing in the background whilst doing something else - very nice job mate!
I use to have a white on white PDP set like yours. Like it very much, used it with a 24" bass drum. The white eventually fades and loses its bright white finish. It sounded great like yours does and for those who do not know it's the low end of the DW line and much more affordable.
I just started playing a cojon and your video was very helpful to me ! Thanks
Don‘t hit the cojon!
Thank you so much for sharing. My cajon just came n I don’t know anything about it. Your video is helpful!
Very good. You inspire my practice sessions. Thank you! I love cajons.
It would be nice if there were more Cajon-Videos/Workshops. And also always a playalong, such as “Even if the sky is falling down“. I love the song very much now!
My schoolmates and friends calls it the "Beatbox." lmao
that’s what my dad calls his
Tbf, cajon literally means box
Dude because its a box and its getting beaten
ahh yes filipino culture
Then your an Indian 🤣🤣🤣
You are so talented. I enjoyed watching you play the instruments. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏
Thanks for the information. I teach Guitar. One of my students told me about the Cajon, and I appreciate your demonstration.
Qué buen trabajo man!! Explicas de una manera muy agradable. En todos los vídeos de TH-cam nunca había encontrado algo sobre tocar con las uñas, sabes sacarle muy buen sonido a este instrumento.
Ocasionalmente lo alterno con la batería con un ensamble un poco más acústico o cuando intento nuevas versiones de las mismas canciones.
Abrazo grande desde Colombia!!
Each instruments has a Tone , which cannot be replaced...
I agree fully personally Cajon I think it best for a beginner
Jeffrey Fouts no, a drum kit is def best for a beginner, no beginner wants to learn cajon
Cajon has its own beauty.. a drummer would be natural with any kind of percussion..
True statement that feels like it's coming from a place of ignorance. No one is replacing anything; it's a completely different instrument. He likened the sounds to a drum set to help you learn how you would play it on a cajon.
@@dennycrane2938 But its a percussive instrument and made it easier for us to play.
I make Cajon’s, I am not a drummer, but I enjoy making them.
Thank You for your video, I learned how to use your hands to make the different sounds!!
Superb video @Alejandro the comparison with the full drum kit is excellent. Hadn't realised how versatile the cajon actually is. I'm motivated to revisit my cajon again.
YOU, my good Sir, are a true percussionist!
The Cajon is a fascinating instrument, but people often complain it being hard to mix because of the way it booms, cluttering up the mid bass. Using subtractive EQ to pull a bunch of low mids out of this video makes the bass section of your Cajon sound way better, and would broaden it’s application tremendously in a lot of band settings- acoustic or electric.
I'm only complaining that the snare has no punch and none of that explosive sound I need for my music, yet have no space for a drum set.
@@AnkothOfficialprogrammed drums
This was the perfect video for me to find to understand cajons as a beginner. I also was surprised about the high production quality. Keep the good work up!
Good information here, thanks! I've just got one myself and this will help a lot. 😊
Great playing! Thanks for the inspiration. Do you have any transcriptions of drumming patterns for cajun in notes? :)
What Equipment was you using to record the Drumkit loving the Sound Quality.. Great work! (For example, Preamps/Interface/Compressors etc) Thanks!
Just simply amazed at how you can play both instruments flawlessly. I’ve always wanted to learn drums. Now my 11-year-old daughter (yes, the one with me on my profile pic) is learning the kahon during this pandemic lockdown, her teacher on Zoom. And I’m browsing TH-cam for the basics on drums, trying to play simple beats on about anything (including silicon kitchen mats!) around the house. That’s how i stumbled into your video. 😊 Thanks for sharing your knowledge... 👍🏻
El vídeo es muy bueno. ¡Muy buenas instrucciones!
You explained this PERFECTLY!! I had no idea what a Cajon was, how it was pronounced, or what it even did. Now I know! And I want one! Thank You!!!
I hope you and those close to you are doing well too! Thanks for making this video. My dream is to use TH-cam to teach cajon to as many people as possible. I always love others share their passion for the instrument with new people here too. Have an awesome day!
Ross McCallum I subbed :)
One of the best cajon sounds I've ever heard
Fantastic! Love it. Thank you.
Nice work 🤟🔥 love from srilanka ❤️🇱🇰
This is the first time I heard u speak bro, u have a nice voice. Gucci 👌
Thank you for sharing.
I got a awesome education.
Cajon makes sense now.
Thx again.
The snare, raspy kick sound just makes this a novelty for me, fun for a minute or two in a jam or a free form improv. Bothersome to me to always hear that scratchy to tone.
Awesome video. I do have one suggestion for you though. For your regular acoustic drum set, I'd very much suggest using a single piece of gaffers tape to eliminate the "oink" or echo from your snare. It'll sound much, much better. =)
Mr. Cajón... I liked that song you played!
Thank you so much the Mr Cajon is on fire!
Great video! Thank you.
awesome video brother, thank you
Want to add percussion to my classical guitar. This seems perfect and its chair what a bonus
This is one of the best explanation when it comes the cajon. Thank you for educating us!
Bro thanks for showcasing the cajon🙌🏾
Super fun. Thank you, Alejandro.
I got a problem where I tap on everything to a sound of a song in my head, I play guitar but people told me I should do drums, so I got a cajon
That's the same here. Idk whether to get a real kit or a cajon
@@emck7225 nice I got the cajon but haven't put it together yet
Extraño tus vídeos en español.
Pero aún así me encantan tus vídeos.
Sigue así : ) ♥️🥰
Muchas gracias, lo que pasa es que la audiencia ya es global 🌎por lo tanto el contenido ahora está en ingles
Wow. Amazing thanks
Good vid. Thanks for the demo.
Some instruments sit on the floor, some are worn or held, but I can't think of any other instrument that holds the player. Except those huge bike things from How The Grinch Stole Christmas.
If you want to be technical, Pipe Organs hold the player.
Tornait the chair does that
Bro which drum heads r u using??...and the sound of drums depends on the wood of drums orr the drum heads??
Plzz rply my answer!!
Thank u
Thank you so much for sharing
¡Hola! Soy nuevo en ver tu canal, y solo por tus vibraciones, puedo decir que eres una persona genial.
:) Estoy tratando de ser autodidacta en cajón observando cómo toca la gente. Este video fue realmente útil. ¡El cajón se convirtió en mi nuevo instrumento favorito! Fui autodidacta en el ukelele, así que estoy seguro de que esto no sería tan difícil.
This is the best vid on cajón I've ever seen! The comparison between cajón and drums was awesome!! Gracias desde Brasil.
Always loved playing the Cajon since from day 1, eventually saved many months worth of money in high school by sacrificing my lunch to get one of the Schlagwerk Cajons and it's been many years since and I still think it's totally worth it
Bro, how long has it been since you bought? I was told they last for years.
@@kavirajr6115 a life time if you can take care of them
@@jaf2473 no idea what you just said 😂
Thx for the lesson. I learned a lot.
I saw someone playing cajon yesterday and had no idea what it was
perfect timing to see this!
I am the first one to see it . Some people say that it's every hard to get a heart from you let's see how hard😎
hahaah you are awesome
Alejandro Sifuentes plz see my video want a collab ¿
Get out of here with your Facebook sounding ass Karen
Wait who asked?
cajon sounds like more suppressed version of Drums.
Sushant Thakuri without the range of tones
and very uncomfortable to sit on
🥱🥱🥱🥱😴😴
that's exactly what i told my dad at music store (so he gave up and bought a cajon that we needed to transport in a plane)
great video, thanks a lot :)
I always wanted to learn how to play this thank u for sharing
Can you suggest a good quality cajon with low price , am a beginner who need to start studying this .
Bro i luv cajons. Pls bro im from india i luv u.. We want more cajon videos
The positivity! Great job, great sound and talent!
Waiting for my first cahon delivery. Hurrrry upppp.
Amazing video thank you thank you.
Imagine watching your vid just now with just 2h until I get mine 😁😁
What a great introduction thanks again. ❤️
Muito boa a sua comparação para entendermos aonde devemos tocar o cajon para fazer os sons parecido com a bateria, nesse tempo de pandemia só á música para nos fazer feliz, comprei um cajon aqui e estou tentando aprender, obrigada por compartilhar seus conhecimentos 👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I wish I had my own Cajon when I and my other classmates performing in the stage I borrow my classmate Cajon becuz they know that I know to drum it
Fantastic, Thank you
Good lecture. Thank you.
This cajon sound isn’t so bright, there’s not much bead sounds from the inside
very nice your drum part and cajon part chump.God blees you.
Thank you very much Duneesha!
This is super helpful. Thank you!
I love your classic drums sound 👍🏻
Love to have my own kit :(
Hello, i am fron Brazil!!!
Brazil is awesome!
Genial erklärt, ich wusste nicht, was mit einer Cajon alles möglich ist. Danke. 👍
Nice job, still don’t need a cajon though.
He didn't explain, indeed. I was hoping to have a comparison with pros and cons, but it didn't happen.
you need it if you want to play on the go. it's portable
let's say you want to play with your friend who's a guitarist on the beach, how would you bring them drums?
Lars Shawlan play a pair of brushes on a newspaper. Nobody actually needs a cajon.
@@joegiotta7580 a cajon is obviously better than newspapers
Very good concept and video to show similarities between cajon and drumset.The cajon comes from Peru,and is played there,and in Cuba with traditional hand drum culture.Some people want to play cajon with sticks,brushes,or paddles with all sorts of attachments to replicate a drumset.
You can do a lot of that with just good hand drum techniques that conga,djembe, and tabla players already use.This guy plays drumset and seems to have traditional hand drum techniques also.Excellent concept.
You are amazing to watch!!! I'm bying one for my son and send him your link. THANKS!!!GRACIAS!!!
this thing looks so cool!! Nice video :)
It sure is a great instrument, but I dont think it replaces the drum... In fact, I think they'd compliment each other very well! It can be used outdoors too, and doesn't take a freakin truck to take it somewhere else like a drum does, which makes it a great advantage. But then again...
Edit - Although it's not my music style, the whole song made me see that the cajon is pretty nice for playing ghost notes.
