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.
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. 💗🙏💗
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'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! ☺
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.
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.

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
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.
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!
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.
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❣️
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 RUclips 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... 👍🏻
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!
I hope you and those close to you are doing well too! Thanks for making this video. My dream is to use RUclips 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!
Hey as a tipp: you can record the cajon also at the back in the hole. If you put a low pass on it, you have a more bassy sound for the kick-part of the cajon
Myself.... A person born with Rythm..... I was introduced to this a few months back..... And it was so natural. No leason needed. I break set Rythym s up with quarter notes on its bass. Then when back to patterns IUse Alot of triplets. Just think outside the square..... Have fun
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. =)
Qué buen trabajo man!! Explicas de una manera muy agradable. En todos los vídeos de RUclips 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!!
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
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.
The drum kit of course sounds so much richer and fuller, but the downside is that it's not easy to transport and take with you to the beach or to the park like a cajon. Great vid! Thanks for sharing!
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.
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.
I just know such instrumental exist after one of the student in my school played it on a school show yesterday, and now coincidentally this video show up on my feed
Damn, I really want a cajon, I swear if I had one I would play it better than 99.9% of people; I’m a skilled drummer but a long time ago I started to develop a finger drumming habit, hard to explain but I could play rhythms just as fast as anyone on a marching snare.
for quick or acoustic jams.. which would you rather do.. load up a big ass drum set in the car, set up, etc... or show up with a box (slash chair), that you can even bring on a bike.. and start rocking! don't underestimate the practical power of the box! i love playing it..
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 👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Something else to try is drag the heel of one of your feet up and down the face of the cajon as your playing. It provides additional pitches in the sound. Works best with sock or barefoot.
Cajons are great, every time you're in need for some wood for your fire-place use one of them (joke). OK now serious; cajons were 'invented' when slavers learned that their african slaves used DRUMS to communicate so the use of drums was forbidden. Soon the slaves used wooden boxes as a replacement for the traditional drums. Although in my opinion a cajon can hardly substitute a real drumset, it is a great addition to a percussionist's instruments. There are really great cajon players there and they can do 'magical' things/rhythms with these things. I call them the 'poor-man's drumset. Every thing is fine when it comes to create rhythm. Life is rhythm and rhythm is life.
I have like such small drum pad practice thing, but it has nothing to do with real drums, it's more for kids I guess. So I been wanting real drums forever I feel like, but my parents won't allow a real drumset, cause it's too loud and expensive, so for now I'm gonna go with a cajon.
You may not have the limit of space or money that a drum set requires. Think about how many people in the world face that right now. It's demo tape vs master tape. Think of it as a democratic approach to music. The emotional power of this instrument is no less valid for its democratic necessity.
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. ❤️
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.

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 completely agree-it's all about exploring the versatility of the cajon and understanding how its sounds can relate to a drum kit.
Awesome comparison of Cajon & Drums, to understand it's features. The bonus is Alejandro's personality!!
I have both. I recommend both because they each have qualities that are tailored for different situations.
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
Can you tell how

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
I love the way how he randomly keeps his Minions on the floor.

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
7:03 totally blow my mind
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.
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!
My schoolmates and friends calls it the "Beatbox." lmao

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.

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..
