Cajon DVD “Complete Cajon II – Advanced”


My second DVD for the Cajon was just released and is available in the online-shop. I’m very excited about this one, it features a huge amount of advanced material including techniques and rhythms from India, Cuba, Spain and the Middle-East.
There are also chapters on odd-metres, independence, sound effects and a big one on brushes. Check out the trailer:
