Matt Philipzen's CAJÓN BOOK is the author's most comprehensive cajón method to date and is
aimed at cajon newcomers intermediate players and pro drummers and percussionists. The focus
is on the cajón as a drum set replacement. The CAJÓN BOOK answers the following burning
questions: - How do I transfer drum rhythms to the Cajon? - How do I transfer traditional and
modern patterns to the Cajon and use them in my music? - Which stroke techniques best serve
dynamic playing? - How can I accompany songs on the Cajon? - Which accessories help me make my
sound interesting and authentic with additional sounds and playing possibilities? The CAJÓN
BOOK covers five major topics: - basics - fundamentals & tips - sound & movements - grooves &
styles - special sounds & add-ons - techniques & phrasing Although the CAJÓN BOOK is not
explicitly aimed at Cajon beginners it still covers preliminary knowledge regarding basic
playing techniques and notation for those who want to learn how to play the cajón 'from
scratch' and who do not count reading music among their strengths. This approach is further
supported by the online videos and CD play-alongs included in this package. We hope you enjoy
discovering practicing and implementing the many patterns grooves and techniques in Matt
Philipzen's CAJÓN BOOK.
