Dude, But What If I Don't Wanna Play the Cajon?

Dudizens, if you’re looking for any other way to percuss that next acoustic gig without mutilating your hands on stapled wood, hear ye the details of my journey; find ye some answers.

I am compelled by law to disclaim that, yes, cajons were harmed in the making of this video. But they harmed me first. Psychologically.

Thanks for watching dudes, holy gratitude. \m/

i asked a nashille musician once how the money was, i'm in ohio and make great money gigging.
he said, and i quote " oh it doesn't cost much at all to play in nashville"

[omerkeidar]

I'm not even a drummer, I just enjoy the funny persona and the music

[BassMeister]

I guess you could say it takes some...cajon-es...to walk into a gig with this tiny drum set.

Not in the face, please.

As someone who is learning cajon this is the best anti-cajon video I've ever seen. it doesn't make me want to stop learning the cajon. It just makes me want to buy more gear!

Dude... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! This is literally every awkward conversation I've tried to have with bands/potential gigs for years, wrapped up into a (perfect and hilarious) 20 minute video. I feel like I owe you. (Just showed this to a country band asking if I could play "cajon or something" for a series of acoustic gigs. Totally made my point for me 😁) Thanks!! Also, got the gig, without cajon 👍

[daolchang]

ah poor cajon, sounds like its not faring well enough outside of its element, here in Perú, where its from, it ranges from being used in a very basic way by like ensembles of children all playing the same beat, to expert percussionists who exploit that wooden box to the max and get sounds from every corner (using the feet to do glides while tapping with the hands, or hitting the bottom corners with the back of the shoes), other than that its aptly used in spanish music (generally with the addition of strings or snare wires inside)

"So we're off to a pretty demeaning start"

The "No size doesn't matter snare"

The "I'm Tired, Less Is More Anyway" snare.

[unbelievable_truth_band]

I thought it was just me with the vigorous anti-cajon prejudice. Hurrah! Solidarity!

[haxenheimer]

This is the single most entertaining drum related Video ever.
