Wow this was great! I typed in cajon tutorial and you popped up. After watching several tutorials I find you are the best teacher. Not only can you sing and play, you look great and classy doing it. Thank you
Hello This guy @Juyal Beats posted an impossible cajon solo is it really impossible if not how hard is it?I am asking this question from some cajon players
bought my niece a cajon for xmas as she has been doing so well learning on my full kit, she thinks your lessons are great and has been watching and copying you all christmas. thanks for your time and keep up the great lessons. you have a great feel for groove. love it. thank you xx
I've just purchased a Cajon a few weeks ago and am in heaven, my musical buddies are really amazed at the versatility as well. I would just like to thank you very much Heidi for all of the resources you have so kindly made available. It is obvious that you truly love the giving/sharing aspects of music! Bless you and a very loving Christmas from Canada to you and your loved ones :)
Thank you ❤ My Dad had a Cajón, I played it once at his house all day. He said I could have it when I got my driver's license. Well, I did it. Got my driver's license. Now I have my Cajón ❤ And I don't know anything about it. This helped so much 😃 Thank you ❤
Paul Hyoway -- Hey Heidi, I could listen to u all day long. You're the best and a great teacher too. Love your voice, you are so very talented. Wish you all the best.
After recently purchasing a Cajon and making a few Bongo Cajons, you videos are really helping. Thanks for showing us some basic rythyms. I'll be happy if I can master a few of these ones and that's as far as I ever get.
Oh brilliant! I'm also releasing my step by step Cajon method in about a month, it's gonna be great, packed with ex and grooves! Thanks for enjoying my vids!
Really like your instructional vids, Heidi...simple, yet not "spoon-feeding", if you know what I mean. I just recently built my own cajon, after I had played for a band where the drum kit was, survey says, a cajon!! I learned the bodhran a few years back as I play a lot of Irish music, but I've always wanted a drum kit....now I have one! Thanks for your expertise with the cajon! I hope Fernando's Kitchen makes it to the states sooner rather than later!!
Omg yr British! Fell in love (a little) when I saw yr video on Facebook with the other top vocalist and Oz. OMG u need to bring that 'happiness' to England! Xx
Stuardo Loy You know the best way to learn and get good? Play everyday and play as long as you can and do it often and when your friends and family tell you to stop....play it more!
Perfect Heidi, this is excellent. I'm a keys player and drummer who's shifting to acoustic duo/trio gigs, your technique and timing is excellent, thanks for the lesson!!!
Wow! You are you are the groove master! Great funk, great singing. I learned a lot from you. I'll have to watch this video A LOT to do what you were doing. I understand it in my head, but I'll use this video as a guide for my hands.
You are bad ass! I am in love with this instrument and you are to blame! You are an amazing artist, Thank you! Gonna get one of these for my birthday for myself (11-05) :D
Love it! Great use of the subdivisions as well as demonstration of your groups. You may want to explain a little more about the actual strokes-base versus slap versus mini slap for example. I love what you’re doing, though! Thanks so much for posting this.
Loving your videos. It never occurred to me to sing and play drums at the same time. Always looking for a drummer for band stuff, and you've helped me make that hey- I can also be the drummer connection. Gotta practice!
hey its good i found you Heidi, u have one great way of expressing what you like, and since i just started ur making me like the cajon even more.. cheers
You're absolutely incredible and I'm so happy to have found your channel after witnessing your subway video and not knowing your name, amazing! Keep being incredible love your gift :)
Muy interesante...She plays very well. I enjoy your vid. It is rather funny to see people play a cajon and make it into a musical instrument. When i was kid, we simply pick up a wooden box and started jamming. The cajon has come a long way, from the back streets of New York City to what i see now. Buen talento Senorita Heidi.
Heidi, you are simply amazing. I'm directing all of my percussion students to your UA-cam channel. And your Cajon sounds fantastic; excellent quality sound.
Cool vibes... I play the drums for my church but some songs don't need so much volume and the cajon makes absolute sense and I love it. Just started practicing and you, Heidi, seem to be a popular hit. Thanks for the clear instruction. Too bad my LP cajon doesn't sound as good as yours. Why's that? Dang it...
Great lesson,I've been playing drums for years and today I have to sit in on Cajon,I've never played them before and figured I could get the basics before the performance. Thank You so much. Hopefully I do OK.👍P.S. Your freaking Hot🌹
Wow, thank you! As a returning musician, i was looking for a percussion instrument to pick up, considering mainly the darbuka, tabla and cajon. While all are awesome instruments each in its own right, you've definitely swayed me towards the cajon as my first choice with this vid (I also write hip hop). Thanks again!
I love your pockets, your time and your presentation, rock on great work. I do videos on line too, mine are DIY plumbing not Cajons I got 2 million views, but "you got the silver and you got the gold" (Jagger / Richards). I wish I had time to watch you for hours, I could learn. Jim Long turned me on to drums in the 60's, still jamming, found you from his site...
Very informative. Just bought one trying to expand my collection of instruments this helped me understand some basic beats and make a few for my recordings thank you very much.
Thanks Heidi for putting up this.. Just started learning cajon. I m from india. Didn't find any cajon teacher.. I m gonna use all ur videos to learn.. Request to record and put in some Indian grooves as well.. God bless. Cheers
Thank you sooo much Heidi! I got a Cajon two years ago and I had no concept to play it (am doing homerecordings as an amateur singer songwriter on guitar and piano). Tonight I thought "lets see who is offering some cajon tutorials" and I found you. GREAT! With your help it took less than 20 minutes to make my cajon a part of my musical family. :)
Hi! I just got my first Cajon drum and it's a Pearl. I absolutely love it but am definitely struggling to get the rhythms down. Your videos are awesome! One thing that is sometimes hard to tell is when you are actually hitting the drum with which hand and how hard for the accents. I don't know if posting a few videos' from an up close side angle would help or not. It may just be that I need to keep practicing. Please keep making videos and breaking it down as much as you can. Thank you so much!
Hey Timeout, thats cool buddy, I understand you did not mean it in a bad way!!! Everyone, just chill out and enjoy the free lesson ok!:-) I take no offense even IF someone asks me why I am not in the kitchen (which was not the case ok, but I do like to cook in the kitchen so it's all cool... but I must admit I was touched to see that some of you were ready to stand up for me.... only thing is that timeout did not mean it this way!!) :-)
Couldnt reply because of maintainence?!. I was hitting my keyboard like it was a 'Cajon' but no, couldnt get to post my reply to you. Haha. Your lessons work on a keyboard too.. Whats weird is a frenandos kitchen vid has appeared just here > since I woke up. Very very nice music. I hope you have got some sleep or are a sleep by now. Thank you for replying to me. Ciao.
Do you play a variety of brands? Do you have any opinions on Sela, Tempa? Toca or LP? nice feel and excellent teaching style. love your talent and you dress fabulously.
This looks easy sounds easy ITS NOT!! LOVE LOVE this grove. After hours of practicing it got it to half speed. Still working on it. Second bass drum is the hard one : and a three-ee and a four- ee its right in the “and a” between 3 and 4. It was like discovering gold! LOL ! Thanks Heidi!
Very happy to hear you are learning with this! You should defo check out my modern method cajon course, it has loads of groove lessons like this one but more broken down with really awesome practise along with me videos, you will love it!
