Two ways to play the bass tone on the cajon • Flat palm VS Forward finger method • Cajon Lesson

Hey All!
So most of us use the flat palm method when playing the bass tone, whilst some of us use the forward finger method, although I've only seen a few players use this technique.
Both are great, and as everything else in life, both have their pros and cons
I demonstrate and discuss both these techniques in this video. Hope you enjoy it!
If you're a beginner and you're looking for a cajon book, you might be interested in our Cajon Syllabus - Beginner Series book.
The book contains pictures, music notation, and all the basic grooves and techniques you need to be able to bring your playing to the next level.
