Alfred A-20296US Cajon Book

Matt Philipzen's Cajón Book is the author's most comprehensive cajón method to date, and is aimed at cajón newcomers, intermediate players, and pro drummers and percussionists. The focus is on the cajón as a drum set replacement.

Although the Cajón Book is not explicitly aimed at cajón 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.
