Dear friends,

I'd like to share the following video with you.

I'm playing the Cajon and doing some variations of the triplet.

I hope you enjoy the video.

Very cool Kamal! I really enjoy seeing other percussion instruments being used!

[Sugar-and-spice]

Sounds great! I've never heard of a cajon before.

[Gretschhead]

Thank you everybody for watching. =)

I wanted to share this instrument with you'll as I think it's a beautiful percussion. It's a Cajon.

It's an Afro-peruvian drum, a wooden box with snare or guitar strings at the back of the playing surface.

Sincerely,
Kamal

Sounds great! Who makes your cajon?

[robert alderman]

That was sweet. How much do these run & where can I get my hands on one?

[drummer]

Nice Jass. I like the over the bar line stuff. Did you know that the pendulum in the clock behind you was playing counter rhythms?
































(bahahahahaha... made you look!)

Hi Clrizz,

I bought the one that's in this video from FatCongas. It's not too bad.

Has a nice bass, but a little weak on the snare. But overall, it's good.

I'd love to look for a company that makes Cajons.

Hi Robert,

Thanks. =)

The one that I bought (that is in this video) costs about $300 plus I think. It's
from FatCongas.

There are many different brand carrying Cajons these days. You can look
them up on the net.

And then I saw ur last line! Haha.

Thanks Atomcorr2 for your compliments.

I like sharing percussion with others.

=)

Take care.

Thanks Jass. That just looked like an absolute blast. Think I need one!!

[momoceio]

Just like everyone has stated, you're very talented. I've enjoyed hearing you play the Tablas and Cajon. It would be interesting to hear these instruments in an accompaniment.

[Jass]

Hi Robert, yes you should get one if you like the drum! =)

Hi Momoceio, will try to post more videos soon.

Thanks for watching.

How's your drumming coming along? What are the obstacles,
challenges, and happy moments you get from drumming?

=)

Sweet! That sounded great. Does your cajon have a mic port? I saw a cajon used at a concert a couple of weeks ago and the guy had it on a stand and played standing next to it.

I want one!

Very cool groove! Love the clock behind you....did you know it was playing counter rhythms against your meter???? Wait.....oops someone already tried that one.

Hi AreFish,

No, mine doesn't. Some of the Meinl ones do though. I didn't do any
audio recording for the one in this video. But when I use a mic, I place
directly in front of the Cajon, as opposed to the hole at the back (which
I used to) as that caused the sound to be be too boomy or bassy. Gets
a little distorted at times.
