Cajon lesson - Finger roll with Heidi Joubert

[@davidmatiano9446]

I bought a cajón a few months ago. So I am an absolute beginner, I appreciate teachers such as you who post incredible lessons for someone like me who wants to learn how to play this beautiful instrument.

[@HeidiJoubert]

Sooooo happy to hear This!!! May my lessons help you tremendously! Also check out my new Modern Method cajon step-by-step courses online on my website at cajonbox.com

[@drumjunkie24]

Banging out the killer exercises. You rock! Wait... why doesn't this have a million views? We gotta share this video!

[@josezamudio9764]

I really apreciate your tutorials thank you for being so pacient and explening every little detail.

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Nice work - Like that you count the rhythm throughout the lesson. That really helps people learn how the pattern is shaped over the pulse.

[@r1m2b3a4s]

Merci pour tout. Heidi, je vie au Québec et j'apprend le cajon avec toi depuis décembre 2013. J'adors ta facon d'enseigner.

[@Greenjah81]

Heidi, great explanation of a simple roll.

[@sydneyvincent4441]

I just found out about you think morning from your collaboration with Kiddo Kat. You are awesome!!!! I live cajon and I love playing it!!! I watched a few of your videos now and I'm hooked!!! Thank you so much for the help!!! You have amazing talent😊👍

[@sydneyvincent4441]

Correction lol. I *love* cajon😂

[@othaday54]

Hello Heidi! A great lesson!! My question is that I can't see how you are holding your fingers to coil them to be prepared for the release.....can you either describe that position or do a photo of it or something? THANKS! Also is there in the works a video to help with the more traditional finger rolls that I see you making when you play? Or is it perhaps within one of your currently posted videos? THANKS!!

[@EnriqueYervez]

I can already picture how beautiful our children will be. I love you.

[@fang8377]

Hello,heidi very glad to see your hair to the teaching video, find your lost, want to ask Cruz should buy what kind it is, what is the difference between Cajon and LP

[@gamertroll988]

até hoje não conheço ninguém que toque cajon melhor doo que ela, apesar de não entender inglês, gosto de assistir os seus vídeos, você toca muito bem e ensina com calma e muito bem explicado, parabéns!!!

[@CajonGuy]

Love your style of playing thank you for the video you are truly exceptional :)

[@Pindolene]

I'm so glad I've seen this. I've been holding back on buying a Cajon because I simply can't (or couldn't) do finger rolls. Thanks for showing me! :)

[@susanamartin603]

Oh...your cajon is so much sensible than my own...

[@dawnbenoit1541]

Out of all the teachers you are the best I think

[@emiliohernandez7219]

Thanks Heidi! I learn a lot with you ;)

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Great breakdown on finger technique. This is also very common on the Darbuka (Doumbek)

[@BriannaKendrick]

Ugh I love her. I'm dying to meet you in my life! ❤️

[@ashitunes2284]

What's the matter is fun You are a good teacher

[@The1stHater]

Great lesson! This just taught me how to play one of the fanciest looking little tricks :D Hardest for me was getting the single accent on the 4 in a roll with the fingers... Thanks!

[@hawkrider88]

One more thing if I may...does it really make any difference if you were start the roll with your index finger, middle, ring....as opposed to the way you are doing it? For some reason that seems more natural to me but I don't want to start a bad habit.

[@HeidiJoubert]

No whatever works for you buddy!

[@prithvirajsingh9336]

his bad habit "lol"

[@danoduncan1763]

LOL !... that's awesome !... still can't do it but thank you for teaching me that !...

[@davetay44]

Sounds amazing. Looked like a really simple but effective trick... just tried it at my desk while watching when you said try on a flat surface... Not easy at all! Turns out I don't have much co-ordination in my middle or ring finger haha. Great technique though and one I will be practicing a lot until it become second nature. Thanks

[@DETROITBULLET]

Great been doing this ditty a while , have done standong and playing yet and also note bends with feet * peace and Cajon

[@adam.northcott]

I play in a band as the cajon player, I was just wondering how do I incorporate shakers, cymbals and other drums into my playing.

[@Fintan33]

Thanks alot for this Heidi super helpful and fun ! Really amazing technique there Peace out. Finn

[@fightscience9104]

Thank for the wonderful tutorial!

[@missjessgem]

practicing this exercise now on my own cajon

[@鄭惠文鄭惠文]

Jessica Crawford 的士兵器材料到底下人？

[@tsmja]

Truly outstanding!

[@jdrumz321ify]

I'm considering buying the Pro Elite model. Does it get enough of a snare sound, considering you use guitar strings, as opposed to snare wires?? I don't want something too dry and slappy sounding.

[@christopherwebb]

Sweet ill have to try it on my cajon that I am building

[@dawnbenoit1541]

I've played before some of technique I was picking up along the way sold my 5 piece for a box easier to transport

[@jamesson6623]

Heidi Joubert thank u heidi! helped a lot..

[@navidabbassi8564]

Thank you very much Heidi ;)

[@rosamariacampos2448]

Gracias por tus clases, ayudas un montón. Para mí sería ideal que los subtítulos fueran en español

[@HeidiJoubert]

Gracias! Quizas Si, I add subtitles in futuro ❤️

[@maxyoon5019]

hi Heidi, i was wondering how I would keep my back straight while playing the cajon?

[@heidijoubert5912]

A good cajon (which means the bass is situated high on the cajon) and a good technique! Will explain more on this later on a new video!

[@aluciagg]

Very nice! Thanks for the class... you really know how to explain this well! (sorry my poor english, I'm from Brazil)

[@leishi6462]

what brand cajon box good using for new guy?

[@hawkrider88]

Hedi, Is this easier with a bit longer nails as opposed to shorter nails like a guy would have? I am finding I have to bend my fingers quite a bit to get my nails to hit the surface?

[@HeidiJoubert]

Hey! I think it;s a bit easier with a little bit of length on your nails, although you don't need long nails to do this, it will just give you more sound to have a bit more nail! :-)

[@mark-dev-1]

Hi. I really like the sound of your cajon. Can you suggest a similar sounding cajon?? I would really appreciate. Btw, Nice playing. :)

[@HeidiJoubert]

hahah only my cruz cajon sounds like this!!! :-)

[@samuelnewtonjr3198]

# 40. A little finger play, I tried it for awhile, sounds way better when you play it. You go ! 05/22/2022. Sun. 8:34 am EST. . Blessed 1

[@WottaOkie]

Hey Heidi. Are u South African? Thanks from durban!

[@ferdirunge4510]

oh fuck, your channel is realy good, you remember me on my drumset teacher 20 years ago *g more of this, thank you! i just look hang videos and than you come, i saw you are a good cajon player!

[@sammiller9855]

Great Tutorial. Do you practice with both hands, or do you just stick with the dominant hand since it's only used occasionally. Also. I notice in your January post on your website that you are working on a cajon course (cajonbox.com/heidi-jouberts-step-step-cajon-video-method-lessons-will-soon/). When do yo plan to release it? Thanks, Sam.

[@HeidiJoubert]

Maaaate! I should practise both hands but mostly just use it on my strong hand as I don’t use it that much! New Cajon course is huge and is still being edited, but you will defo know when it gets released, should be out fully by Christmas

[@xkliber]

Great Heidi! I was already doing this technic before watching your video and before receiving my beautiful Cruz Cajón Elite Pro Toro model and then, I've found your video. For me, and I prefer doing it like that, it's seems more easy to do the fingers roll starting with the index and not finishing by it but your video was still helpfull. Thanks. :-) Btw, I show it to my fg and she find it more easy to roll her fingers like you do, finishing by the index. Perhaps it's a woman thing. ;-) Hey guys (girls or guys), what do you prefer if you tried? It would be interesting to know. :-)

[@hypnotourist]

Most of the rolls i do on hand drums are movements from outside to inside, from open hand to close hand if you see what i mean, and they are from pinkie to index. This fingenails roll is inverted regarding to my "classic rolls", it is moving from inside to outside, in an opening hand movement. So for me it feels quite natural to do it with the inverse finger order also. From index to pinkie. Both way could be possible, but personally, it would require some training that would not be necessary if i just used the inverse of what my hand is already trained for. :-)

[@xkliber]

Laurent Jongbeys Thanks for sharing your technic Laurent. :) I'll try it on my cajon and on my handpan too. :)

[@edubatera72]

Its how i do it too

[@rimboltjaxt5603]

My local shop has the Meinl brand cajons on sale for about £100 or so. Have you ever heard of this brand? The ones I was checking out are solid birch. They look pretty nice, but that can be deceiving. Any thought? Liked and subbed!

[@tilakkarki2047]
