Mona Tavakoli - Cajon As A Drumset 

I was like, WTF, you didn't invent that!

Same here Hahahha

Maybe she discovered this technique without knowing that someone did before her. That has nothing to do with missing respect, friendo.

@@THX-vp9fz you're right that to give her a benefit of the doubt, perhaps she didn't know that it is a very old technique.... in which case, she is naive AND presumptioius that anyone as young and seemingly inexperienced as that could actually "invent" something.....a better wording that could have used would have been that she "discovered" or "realized that there is this cool technique."......HOWEVER, That aside, I don't understand your reason for assuming that Juan Carlos Melian is giving her a "Macho attitude". AND even if he were, perhaps to suggest that he change that notion is more effective.....Additionally, if anything her assumption that "she" invented that technique is what White people have done repeatedly in the West.... take something that BIPOC have done for a long, LONG time and then say "I discovered this" and "I claim ownership over this idea"...

It's hard to argue with that.

I bet Steve Gadd could.

They sound awesome at small venues. I first heard a dude playing one in Tennessee and swore it was an actual kit.

Hi Paullus, what kick pedal are you using or would you recommend?

Adding a kick pedal makes playing the cajon more like a drum set

You use your regular drum pedal with and extension that goes to the cajon like a double bass pedal

Google cajon pedal

Indeed. :-)

True I guess. But re-Invented and called it "cricket". like Eddie VanHalen with Hammer-ons..

I assume she has never heard anyone else do it,hence her statement of "I think,I created it,"and calling it something different.

Thanks for make that very clear, a lot of cajon players (including myself) use that a lot . So sorry Mona.

True. My dad does it all the time but he actually uses his elbow in some weird way.

That is a very known technique used by Peruvians for decades now. I have seen it been played several times. I wonder if she thinks the cajon is a new instrument, how can she claim she invented that technique?

@@romiantuesta-vilca7635 Yes you are right, but she is not reading these comments

I think she said that comment tounge firmly in cheek.

Dude

dude

But dude

@@PayneKrunk dude

Dudeeeeeeeeeeee

exactly... i was like..huh?

she said she think 🤔, not exactly

lol I've been playing "the cricket" for ages and today it's the first time I saw this video... as you said, many Cájonplayers do that.

ur all wrong. Maybe she discovered this technique without knowing that someone did before her. Trolls... smh

@@THX-vp9fz trolls because they see a flaw in her assertion? and are pointing it out gently? Perhaps YOU are the troll here and not engaging in a discussion?

William Angliss Indian/Pakistanis do that as well even the most basic, the Tabla is played that way to get its definitive sound...

William Angliss - I agree with you this is a cool video AND that she definitely DID NOT invent that....and in fact it is quite a statement of some sort of privilege for her to put out that SHE could have invented it.....it's what White musicians and artists have been doing for centuries....saying "I created that!" when they are copying or mimicking what is already here.....and she seems to be a fairly advanced cajon player and you would think that she has heard a great number of good cajon performers who hadn't seen her perform and are doing that technique..... so it doesn't make sense that she is claiming. It is a very odd position. Hopefully, she'll listen to the comments here and below indicating surprise at her assertion and realize her mistake. And I can only hope that it was a misstatement.

It seems to have been around for a long time. Very little is in fact new. Haha. A few comments are highlighting the same thing. 😁

@@othaday54 #1She said she thinks she did,which may indicate she has never heard anyone else do it. #2 She's not white.

It is a Peruvian invention, search in google Peruvian cajon

A damn sexy one as well!...

certain types of venus or gigs. For example I used to do percusion for a small youth group setting at church. A Cajon was perfect for the small acoustic setting

Less cost, better transportability, closer content to busking, better fitting to unplugged sessions/gigs, ... want more?
