Right good thing this kind of practice help to control our playing a lot and it's really hard to play slow and challenging 2 dear percussionist.. Just watchd totally and just thinking humm it's not as easy as looks like and glad to see that you're not depressed and enjoying whatever you're playing even the notes and grooves sometimes almost same but you smile and happy (and it's really a big thing for me to learn)
Thank you 🙏 I was looking forward to this video and the last video being useful for people in ways I couldn’t predict. Glad you enjoyed it and learned lots.
Hi Ross, I am trying to learn cajon with no music background or understanding and i dont have an ear for music. The only thing i can pick out in a song is if its like in church when to clap (snare) I am going to continue practicing your beginner grooves with the sheet music provided to build the ability to play grooves... ...is there any practices/drills I can do to build my ear for music so that i can listen to a song and know what to do in between the snare/beat (fills/bass?) Without needing sheet music? Also on a side note how do i know what i should set beats per minute on a metronome to, and how do i know what the BPM is for each song im practicing? Thanks!
I think landing your claps on the back beat with the snare is already a good start and will never be an irrelevant thing to keep feeling out and improving. I’m really glad to hear you’re going to use my channel to help you get comfortable playing some grooves. One of the simple exercises for improving your listening is just lightly tapping out 16th notes while listening to a piece of music so that you eventually get to hear where each of the accents in the music are landing on that 16th note musical grid. That’s actually the first exercise in one of my members courses all about learning music by ear. Would you like me to send you a link to that? It costs about five dollars a month to be a member here and that includes a whole lot more structured lessons plus an e-book. Whenever I’m teaching someone who is completely new to music about beats per minute, the first thing I do is set the metronome to 60. At this speed there is one click per second just like the ticking of a clock so it’s very familiar. After that, go to 120 BPM and hear how there are two clicks per second. To know how many BPM a song is, you can use a metronome or a metronome app which has a “tap” function. you just tap that button on the beat with the music “1 2 3 4”, and it will tell you how many beats per minute the song is. I hope all of that gives you something to work on and I wish you the very best! Talk again soon, Ross
@@ItsKYRO13 Easy! Just head to youtube.comrosslmccallum/join on the desktop version. This link will jump you to the Learn By Ear course ru-vid.com/group/PLkFTJa7bYzThZ90uNhVtQ4CoZQT0PXO_9 The main thing to do to progress is just work through the “Cajon Method 1.1” playlist to do everything in the best order.
Hello, greetings from Turkey, you play very well, you get carried away... super. What is the model of the cajon, can you write the link or name? I use an audix d6 by attaching a microphone apparatus to the back hole.
That might take a while to make but something you could do now is watch this video slowed down while reading the sheet music and see if you can make a start on learning the grooves that way.
No flams in number 4 but the groove is played with a lot of swing. It feels like a shuffle almost. You can find some lessons on my channel about flams if you want to learn some more.
