Vater Percussion - Jen Lowe - Vater Cajon Brush Demo 

I was impressed by how nice they sound on your lap.

I use the Vater poly brushes which have more punch depending how you use them. On one of them I wrapped the collar with felt and use it to emulate the kick drum, the other is used near the edge to sound like a snare. Both carry the brush taps, which are kind of like a hihat sound. Play the rudiments and you can groove the hell out of a cajon!

I use the Vater Monster brush and added another o ring ( which you can find in hardware store ) to make it a little stiffer. By using the brushes you dont get the back fatigue of bending over and the sound is more controlled - plus being a drummer I am used to holding sticks

Getting back to the Cajon again. The audio on this vid is really good. Jen sounds great on it. Cajon sounds very nice. The Cajon brush is cool. Liked the 'Yee Haw' or Train beat.

who could not fall in love with this girl? i liked the sound of the brushes more than the hand.

Fantastic Demonstration, consider this sold. Not only did you fully show off the products with no nonsense, but you also gave newbies one of the best beginner percussion tutorials Ive seen lately. i like this company so far...

Thank you 😊

Nice demo, tried the link and could not find these products. Need a better link to the exact product shown, and I will purchase.

I'm thinking of experimenting with these style brushes on my full drum kit.. i wonder if it'll work

She's Playing the music Higher Ground from UB 40 in the begining

Thank you.

i just wanna ask ms jen. what kind of brush are you using. it looks interesting.. ] thanks,

really, really I love ... her

thats so cool

I have a T shaped Cajon, you have a examples of One drop and Four on the floor? Trying to learn the counts... 1e&Ah 2e&Ah. what count should I use for reggae?😊

COOL

no I have been using a brush on my cajon and nothing happens

What about Hannah Ford?

Hey!, Talent, Skill, and Good Looking! You're the complete package! I dig the brushes. They would sound great on my stomp box. Oklahoma "Okie" Fats Cunningham

1:42 sounds like the theme song of iCarly

Ain`t that The New Superheroe- The Cajon Girl!??

does anyone think that this would go well with a uke? lol

Hmm. Nice tutorial/demonstration video, for sure. Not a fan of the sound of a cajon, though. The larger djembe's may not be AS portable (but they're still portable), but the sound is so much sweeter than a wooden box with or without snare.

1:37 very much like Iron Maiden's Flash of the blade

Ok ignore that,I ordered mine and they come in pairs! So now I have a back-UP pair....MEH.

In 0:54 start Drum and bass :)

la isla bonita rythm ;)

I put fluffy hair ties around the top of wire brushes to avoid the click sound if I hit it accidentally

monster brush? same thing? just so I can be clear I don't have to go out and buy another brush for cajon... (i have some monster brushes)

too good :-)) next time come with your cymbals and you'll reinvent drums :-)) Cajon HAVE TO be simple and easy to carry. This is the spirit of cajon

Btw good work.

So . . . they're pretty much brooms and a rubber band?

Vater Rules ! Hot...

I don't mean to hijack this, but I found a cheap and effective way to play the brushes but still get a low end bass sound on the cajon. I have a video on my channel. The short of it: it's an old mousepad taped to my brush lol. It works though. Check out my vid

those black rings are call "o" rings

J-Lo?

Nice Jen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You look like Jessica Jones 😊

@phlashed1 What does drumming have to do with sexuality? Nothing.

TheDave000: I don't feel as STRONGLY about cajon as you do (Yikes! Haha!) but I do agree that these instruments are way overused and most people can't play them. My problem with them is that they cost so much money for good sounding ones and why on earth would I buy these when it seems you have to whack the holy hell out of them to even get a decent sound out of them. I'd much rather spend my money on congas or even those cool cajon hybrid instruments that Schlagwerks makes. THOSE things are bad-ass! Check 'em out... some guy has a little "drum set" made up of Schlagwerk cajons and it's pretty damn cool. Or, save even more money and buy yourself a Gigpig! I want a Gigpig soooooo bad! :-)

Meinl Makah Burl Cajon

Ask a Spanish person what Cahone means. What you’ve called grommets are actually o-rings. Otherwise great!!!

Ich bin dein Vater

Finally a female drummer with skill instead of fame through being just attractive!

interesting sound, but i perfer the sound of just using hands. but this is still good

As an unpaid, untrained, year-and-a-half cajonist, I'll vouch for these. They're pretty dope. After a while the o-rings slip and slide around the brushes. Getcher self a handful of No-Clasp hair ties, and you can stiffen up the brushes at your leisure for SUPER stiff cajon action. Keep slapping the box, cats and kitties.

I have one of those pairs and there are very useful

Thank you so much for this video! Different types of brushes and a few techniques... Very informative!)

It is with immense pleasure and love thet I have to the advice of Jen good and beautiful!

CAJON FROM PERU ....AMAZING !!!

Damn girl, you groovy!!!. Great demo.

PERU!!!!

¡Excelent! Thanks for sharing this video.

Cool video but i must say the usual Meinl cajones sound awful, if you like Meinl you should get one of the Meinl 'Artisan Edition' cajones which actually sound pretty good or just make one yourself.

@RevHyperclit They're actually bigger than the Monster Brushes. More bristles

You look like somewhat Anne Hathaway

that sounded amazing....i would love a cajon but I cant afford one at this time

Thanks for using two kinds of brushes. That's helpful. Cool techniques too.

I guess you can use the blue ones too. I got them before i see this video. The sound is great especially if you play a Mario Cortes cajón.

Great Video Jen Lowe ! I want to get some Vater Cajon Brushes ! Thanks for the tips ! -- Hank Hogan

wooooooah...I am a female percussionist with the exact same cajon...vater brushes...AND MY NAME IS JENN. TWINSIES!

Good Video Vater Percussion Is My Favorite Drumsticks'S Mark

don't the brushes damage the cajon over time? (or at least a lot faster than your hands would)

What are the difference between the blue monster brushes and tis black pair? Thanks

what is the name of that cajoin i would really like to buy one just like that

very good music!!! very Compliments!!!

It seems they don't come in a pair of two's,you gotta BUY two?

nice share Sensei, many thanks stay upon... da beat !

just got mine.. they add a great new texture to my playing. love em.

What Cajon are you using?

she totally played Meshuggahs 'Bleed' at 2:49.

There is a special circle of hell reserved for anyone who's ever owned an cajon. Im really sorry but I just cant get over my prejudice for the instrument. Way too many non-percussionists buy them because they look easy ti play then make horrible noises with them. Must be frustrating for real cajon players, like the lady in this video, but I just can't get over my hatred for it. yuck!

Actually the grip you're using in your left hand is more commonly known as an orthodox grip. It was developed to be used with traditional ( as you said ) snare drums, commonly slung over your right shoulder at an angle. This enables you to keep playing as at this angle a matched grip would be to difficult to play with (though it is used with some types of scottish snare drums as they are kept level)
