I love how you say you're easily amused. Everything we do on the cajon, and percussion in general is the "small details". There is nothing more glaring than a rhythm that is just a tiny bit off. Keep to the small stuff Ross, it keeps you humble, and great at the same time. Wonderful exercise!
I really liked this one Ross. I think many cajon people focus too much on playing everything RLRL. As you said, different ways of playing the same groove, be it RRLL, or a combination of single and double strokes, give it different feelings and sounds, and that is what it is all about.
Hi and thank you for sharing. Tutorial like this is perfect. I like seeing the notation and the physical example being played. You also explain well. It's not too much for beginners, but it's enough for those of us with some background. If you don't have them already, shorter tutorials with various grooves and rhythms, maybe a few fills would be perfect as well. Thanks again!
+Cajon Groove Guide cool! something else I'd love to get some exercises for is skipping beats (I always get my hands mixed up when I try this :D) and mixing between straight 16ths, triplets, duplets etc, again, so great to seamlessly switch. thanks for the guides, really appreciate them!
Hello Ross! If I may, make it long when the subject requires more in depth attention and make it short when it is a simpler matter. However, keep making tutorials! And as always, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I like a mix of lengths myself. One thing I'd be interested to know is whether you have a practice system/routine at all. Also, for comparison with my own playing, I'd be interested in the kind of BPMs you can comfortably maintain for different rudiments. I know drumming's not all about speed, but I think it's good to know from other players what's achievable and what they find difficult. For instance, I can hold a single stroke roll comfortably at 190bpm but things like paradiddles start to get sloppy at 150bpm.
+Cajon Groove Guide Thanks for your reply! I like that idea of leaving the cajon around the house to remind you to practice certain things. An un-edited practice video sounds cool - you should do it! I've recently discovered the challenge of practicing to a metronome that cuts out for a bar. I've been pushing myself to practice using it with 2 bars of click, then 2 bars of silence.
Hi... your videos are killers! It's really a pleasure to follow your explanations... and I need to buy a cajon! :) I will go for CaSela SE 002A. Is it the same as yours? One of the best sounds! Do you think? Thanks!
that's cool then keep up the great videos big fan (: have fun in Japan btw you should do a give away of maybe some Cajon toys or like a Cajon seat something simple
It was easy because english and music are both universal languages! I don't understand everything that you said, because I'm brazilian and have not too much contact with the engligh language, but you showed the score and played... So I think I can practice! And the coolest thing is that we can practice anywhere, right?
I prefer short vids too.Can I ask u to do more vids for novice player?I interested in connecting links between paradiddles in slow mo. p.s. Can u start an exercise more slowly?Too hard for novice : ) and u r awesome! best cajon teacher on youtube.thks u! (sorry 4 my bed English,I'm from Russia)

Ross, what Sela should I purchase? I'm looking at the Casela Pro, but noticed the Wave as well. Any tips?

5 minutes does the trick Ross. I love this vid . Always great to see your presentations. Perfect teaching IMO. THANK YOU ROSS...Yuma,AZ.
Glad I could help!

I think this vid is a great length. I really like these exercises too as variation in practise just builds up the skill level.

I have the same Sela cajon. Great bass and a nice crisp snare.
Your vids rock. I dig either length use at your discretion, 7 min is perfect.

I prefer the longer tutorials because they are full of tips and grooves
Hope Japan is treating you well! Gonna watch the whole of this video when I get home later.. Good day

A mix of long and short! :D
Good exercise, Ross- thanks... ☝️😎
@@patrickselden5747 happy to hear you like it!

Best Ross -Best Sela
longer tutorials!
Why is it so hard to smoothly go from the triplets to the doubles. Also what's the first BPM you were using?
that's cool then keep up the great videos big fan (: have fun in Japan btw you should do a give away of maybe some Cajon toys or like a Cajon seat something simple
Thank you for lessons. 5-8 minutes is much better than >10.
any give away soon ?
Amazing!

+Cajon Groove Guide Yea,that what I mean - "connecting rudiments" thank you. I look forward to your guide
nice tips and video. it would have been useful to show the exercise way slower to start with imo
the longer one
I prefer the shorter vids
I think the videos can be about 7 minutes
Prefer 5 mins ones
