Matt Philipzen CAJÓN BOOK

Matt Philipzen's Caj?n Book is the author's most comprehensive caj?n method to date, and is aimed at caj?n newcomers, intermediate players, and pro drummers and percussionists. The focus is on the caj?n as a drum set replacement. The Caj?n Book answers the following burning questions:

- How do I transfer drum rhythms to the caj?n?

- How do I transfer traditional and modern patterns to the caj?n and use them in my music?

- Which stroke techniques best serve dynamic playing?

- How can I accompany songs on the caj?n?

- Which accessories help me make my sound interesting and authentic with additional sounds and playing possibilities?

The i>Caj?n Book covers five major topics:

- basics: fundamentals & tips

- sound & movements

- grooves & styles

- special sounds & add-ons

- techniques & phrasing.

Although the i>Caj?n Book is not explicitly aimed at caj?n beginners, it still covers preliminary knowledge regarding basic playing techniques and notation for those who want to learn how to play the caj?n 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 Caj?n Book.
