Cajon Lesson: Knock Roll Technique

all right hey cajon drummers it's been a 
little while uh since we've had one of these   kind of tutorials where well simply 
i just want to show you a technique   nothing too crazy but if you like the sound of 
this keep going through this video see some of   the different variations of it of course i'm 
going to slow it down show you from a couple   of different angles to help you get a feel for 
the technique yourself but why don't we uh why   don't we start it out really slow and i'll 
just show you what each individual movement is so that gives us all something to work with 
now if you're playing this for the first time   it may be a while that you're down at that 
low tempo before you can bring it up to   any of those faster speeds that you've heard or 
you may hear later on in this video but what you   might like next is some kind of exercise to 
give you some structure to practicing this   uh i've just got something really simple going 
to the base four times going up to the snare   four times if the speed that i'm doing it 
in this video is a little bit too fast uh   youtube does have a function to slow down a video 
right a little settings icon and then playback   speed so if you do want to play along with me 
you could slow it down speed it up even but   after that maybe spend some time practicing this 
by yourself and then for the rest of the video   just enjoy the different examples and ideas that 
hopefully i can give you by the way i think this needs a name um if this 
technique already exists with a name uh leave it   down below in the comments because you know 
with music usually you think you've come up   with something but it's been around for a 
long time uh i'm calling it the knock roll   or maybe a little more exciting the knock and roll 
um yeah you don't have to call it that but knock   roll okay so it's a combination between something 
you've seen a hundred times on this channel before   which is a finger roll and something else 
that you may have seen on this channel a   knuckle knock all right so how about 
some fills using this technique   okay now do we have a bonus for you 
viewers who have stuck around in this video   uh this is actually also really fun to reverse 
so instead of the right hand playing the   knock part the left hand will play the knock 
part and will lead the pattern off with the roll   on the right hand so a little exercise you could 
maybe make out of this is going the original way   take a little rest then going the inverted way and 
kind of bounce back and forth between them okay so   let's listen now to how that exercise works and 
then i have kind of a crazy groove to show you   all right so as i said i just really wanted to 
share a technique with you today it's been a   while since i've been able to i guess come up with 
or discover i should say some extra sounds that we   can get out of the cajon some extra textures that 
we can use in our grooves and fills so when that   does happen it's very exciting because i get to 
make a video like this one if you're interested in   learning a little more structured kind of courses 
things like that i do also have a members area on   my channel if you hit that join button below 
it'll give you some extra information about   that if you're interested in spending a little 
more time uh learning cajon with me that would   be one great way to do it otherwise i'm sure i'll 
see you again pretty soon hopefully with a video   as exciting as this one if you did enjoy it please 
give it a like if you are here for the first time   and you like these videos you want to see more hit
