Teachers must love you.
Sarcasm??

Oh my god, I never knew there was such a thing as "finger drumming" but I'm 13 years old and in high school and this is literally just what I do on the tables in lessons! so cool!
YOUR 13 IN HIGHSCHOOL????
..... yes.
Yeah I am old but I have been doing this for ages. I even do it with three fingers at times.
wtf
canada?
the most original way to express our musicalities
I've been practicing this on my desk during maths, I've kind of got the hang of it but it needs more work.
nobody cares
Fergus Rhodes 3 years ago, you must play expert finger tap songs only
hope you were paying attention in "maths" class because I am pretty sure you were not paying attention in English class.
Hank Moody looks like you are the one who needs more work
Just like the real drums. I'm sure there's some transferrable skills involved. You're creating rhythm with your hands.
I‘m not a drummer but I‘ve worked out almost the same technique, chops and speed like you 😄 Playing guitar since 2002 though. I‘m driving everyone crazy with this. I love grooving out in the car to different metal bands and fingerdrum on the steering wheel 😆
Paul Langer hehe nice!
Watched a few of your videos now and they are excellent. I have been playing just about all percussion for more than 30 years and I am still learning from videos like yours. A bit of clear and precise instruction can make a new pathway in our drumming brains and starts a whole new branch of the Tree of Groove®. Starting with your left is like a reboot...
Looking forward to more. Keep rocking and popping, tapping n slapping
Beautifully taught with so many creative, musical possibilities! Thank you for your generosity!
It's cool you did a video on that... I do it ALL THE TIME, I actually practice hits on any surfaces or on my legs and body any time of the day... when I sit on the cajon I realize I have gotten better without even playing on the instrument... its amazing a ))
Great vid. Just started with the Cajon a year or two ago, but have only been playing seriously for a few months. These videos are a huge help, so.... thanks.
I didn't realize this was a thing, but have been doing it on my own. Some techniques I recommend you try that I've made up are tapping your ring, middle, and index finger in quick succession to make a single snare-like sound and using the side of the joint in your thumb to easily make two contrasting sounds on the same surface.
Very nice it’s amazing what can be done with just a bit of persistence and practice. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the easy to follow lesson!
Your Videos are EXTREMELY Helpful. Thank you Good Sir
Thanks for this. as a former pro drummer playing a bit of cajon, I was looking to get more techniques to ad more expression. This is great!
This is what I do to practice my Tetris 40 line sprint in my head
I play with mainly with my thumb, index, and middle on my left hand and my index,middle, and ring on my right hand. I ought to come up with exercises that practice those fingers.
Harmony between games and music. Very nice.
Thanks for the finger rolls Ross. I've been looking for more "technique" vids for the caji
Ron Lowry youre welcome
I've been doing this since I was about 7. My Granddad was an awesome finger drummer - I still can't do what he did. Transfer this over to a drum machine though and you're rocking!

***** not so much in productions, but because I can finger drum, it makes drumming on finger pads easier.
A Lervy wow! I've never heard of this company. I'm impressed at their products. Thanks for sharing!
You have just earned yourself a new subscriber. I'm a percussionist and just recently bought a cajon just because of your videos.
This technique it is well demonstrated and although i never drummed in my life will have a practise an see what I can do thanks
Thank you very much. You are a natural trainer.
Great video exercising the fingers thanks for break down
Espectacular 👏🏼 mis respetos desde Colombia 🇨🇴 abrazos y gracias por compartir
Very helpful lesson because can see what your hands are doing at a slower pace close up, but then sped up
are you able to do more close up tutorials but start slow with the drumming and then speed up as its a bit hard to see when you change hands and to learn the grooves please!
I enjoy it very much your videos
Good lesson man, thank you for that. I personally play my ring finger instead of the middle one. When I go faster, my hands eventually end up having an interesting swing motion left and right. One note tho, I think the best way to play a double stroke (from a technical standpoint) is to play soft then loud. I've watched lessons on drumeo for drumming masters such as Thomas Lang, Tommy Igoe, Gavin Harrison etc and they all recommend that the offbeat of the double stroke would be the accented one. We all have our styles of course but I just thought I can share with you anyway :)
Thank you! Good perspectives 😊
Very clear tutorial, nice
very cool & nice lesson...
Amazing tutorial and great homework :D I have my cajon since three days and i learned a lot already in a fast paced way because of your videos!
Thank you and welcome to the channel!
I just discovered your chain. Man, you're my mentor!! Keep rocking!!
Nice! Just started playing cajón! Thanks 😊
Guitar_Ukulele_Gladys gonna be a fun journey. Welcome!
Nice. Very clear and helpful.
my teacher back in school years ago used to call me a woodpecker.
Always waiting for the woodpecker to get distracted and start doing the finger drumming was something she told me she always expected in the morning.
33 years old and i still do this when i have nothing else to do, especially to music.
Very good lessons, thnx so much!
Hey. I'd like to hear you do a drum buzz roll on the table with your fingers on both hands. I like!
i randomly found this video.. but i already learned that finger drumming stuff by just doing it while im bored in class!! jaja :)
i think im gonna make some covers of my fav band :)
This was fun. Very challenging for me.
ill practice every day, thanks!
Did u?
That's incredible stuff man I love it!!
Ha , my way of notebook finger drumming is pretty similar . So you have a table , I place my lower palm onto the edge of the table ( where the lower part of the thumb joins in with your finger ) and use my index finger , middle finger and ring finger as "pedals " (pedals as in the kickdrum pedals drummers use ) . This way you've got yourself a triple pedal , you can get some insane BPM out of your fingers ( index , middle , ring ) once you get accustomed to it . I hold a pen or pencil in my other hand ( right hand ) and use a book as a snare . Works like a charm . Anyone in my class who comes by and hears me doing this asks me if I go to drumming classes . Defacto is that I don't , but would love to though . Cheers , enjoy annoying your teachers :) .
Very clean. I like it
This was a great video! Helped me out so much.
Nice clear video. Thanks a lot.
Cool ! Good video !
Very good technique.
.. and you are good teacher by the way.Could you maybe show the exercice on the cajon have the same problem, quite hard to make volume with fingers. Is it just practice or maybe a problem on the way i put hand on the cajon? Do you hit the cajon lower than with the entire hand? I saw sometimes you put the first finger on the cajon to support your hand, but not when playing. I admit the sound is very different when my hand is in the air without any support when i hit with fingers. Many thanks.!
Excellent
Thanks from Sweden
Haha tjenare
Awesome instruction!
Wow! Really appreciable..
Dodo dj thanks!
You really can make a good beats with just your fingers. Cool stuff!
Thanks!!
Thank you so much and it's time for practice after knowing the correct way :D
btw, how will it be if we use the ring finger as well?
Nice. Thanks for sharing.
i do the same thing as you, but different. i use my thumb and the varying heights of my fingers to create the roll, or i add my thumb in combination with my index and middle finger.
I'm impressed!!
Really good video, thanks
great idea =) with the singns written on your palm .!
Great lessons and approach :)
perfect! i needed this
the cajon is a good piece of furniture. great finger rolls by the way.
Amazing skills finger drum
Thank you!
Good video ans thanks for the help! God bless you
haha I love the way you use the annotations, very creative!
great.vid. frm this vid i came to know there is so much more to learn abt cajon rather than just usual beats..hope for u er further support.thanks . p.s !!!!
Great content and skill, have you ever tried using your skill to play the Tabla ?
thanx for the tutorial its great
brilliant! Thank you so much for this
Kester Dumont Happy to help!
Awesome vid Rossco,
Great! Thank you
I've found 39 of your vids in one place. What a treasure! Are you familiar with the Kopf cajon? Made in Georgia, USA, big booming bass, nice sharp snare.
This is great training for finger strengthening! no joke!
had a hand injury and this is good therapy! also learning some beats. : )
Proud of you broooooo ! !
I have been doing this since I was a kid, it's been like a nervous twitch for me, it drives people bonkers! What has it been like for you? People do it out of nervousness and bordem.
Good for cajon players!
From colombia I say thank you!!
I've already master this technique since I was in my High school days until now. Didn't know this technique will be published here in youtube. xD,
Sweet! you're a genius! Just to let you know, I'm gathering some material for motivate youth from Montreal, CA. I'll be using your video to show them different possibilities for drumming without lots of noise. Great job! Hope that is ok for you! Thanks!
Hey that sounds like a great plan. Yeah getting that creativity expressed one way or another is so important. Not just drumming out frustration on a desk but working on exercises and skills that gradually bring results is also super good for us to do.
@@rosslmccallum still replying after 7 years, what a legend😍.
this is AWESOME
wow, your fingers are freaky fast! I hope to be that good some day!
Great Video! I would be happy to see some actual finger drummnig skills from you!
Thanks 🙏
Quick question on this finger technique - once you've perfected the technique, do you find that you hands are almost or very relaxed?
Keep up the good work - excellent vids.
Thank you Ross! Actually I'm a Handpanplayer trying to get faster with all kind of fingerrolls, do you have any special suggestions for HP players, or is it possible for u to make a tutorial for Handpan? Thanx again!
very helpful. thanks
My fingers are too sausage for that...
I can still try it at maybe 3/4 speed :p
I hope this helps. I am learning the guitar for my first time, but I realised that I have lost my sense of rythme from Africa. I hope drumming and some dancing can bring this back. I have seen great guitarists that neglected rythme so they failed to be complete musicians.
Awesome, thanks.
Super vidéo merci :)
Awesomes videos, you're always explaining well, and your right and left hands really dont sound the same, it's not your imagination, hehe ;)
I thought I was the only one who does that :)
I do it a bit different though but sounds awesome
Nice !
Good Ray Ross.. i would like to know. How long per day I need to practice this exercises?
Maybe half an hour would be good I think :-) Use your other practice time playing along to music and improving general technique etc.
awesome!
looking forward to more videos. I need lots of practice. Eddie K
i have been doing these since i was 5 !!
Souradeep Ray same here
hello rose! :) can u send me a list of your tutorial videos that I must learn first as a beginner? Like What should I practice 1st on your video? Pleaseee! thank you! :)
I'm starting playing cajon from today and this is the first thing I'm learning, any tips?
Parabéns pela explicações amigo...grande abraço.
Marcos Brandão
Hey, do you have to start with the middle finger? or is it ok to start withe the first one? It's like my fingers automatically prefer starting with the first one. :-)
great!
Well you use a strange line of fingers for that. I usually use three fingers on each hand for a beat, the pointer and ring together in rapid succession for single handed speed. Or a combo pointer and thumb for heavier beats.
But I can usually only fo about two tracks at once with one hand.
I see! Thanks for the extra perspective.
Hey man, love the Cajon video's. I'm a kit player originally too but I've started using the Cajon to busk with and these are helping me a tonne with technique.
Is there anything you did to your Cajon to make the snare sound so prominent? Mine sounds a little quiet in comparison with the bass tone, I'm still a little stuck with the tuning and maintaining bit.
Any help would be cool :).
Thanks again!
Hey. Im just starting out and Im wondering about using six vs four fingers. Is it just a preference thing? Or is there a large difference?
