THE COURSE
In the course "Emulate a drum set with a cajon & shakers" we will see how to recreate the rhythmic patterns and sounds of a drum set with a few percussion elements (Cajon & shakers). In this way you can have a kind of portable drum set to be able to take it anywhere on foot. We will also see a considerable amount of rhythms and variations to be able to start from 0 in drums and percussion.
In the first place we will quickly see the elements of the drum set percussion set that I propose, the basic sounds of the drums and how to recreate them with our set and the study and learning method that we will use. This is the binary method, a very easy and intuitive method that can be used to read and write beats.
Next, we will begin to look at the universal rhythms that can be used in many musical styles. In addition, we will see different variations of these rhythms, thus adapting them to different styles of music such as reggae, blues or jazz.
MUSIC & PERCUSSION
Percussion is an extraordinary tool to connect with oneself and others.
We all know the beneficial power of music, both physically and mentally.
There are numerous studies that link playing an instrument with good brain activity.
In addition, the music goes directly to our emotions and each song transports us to a state of mind as if by magic.
Besides, the relational power of music has also been demonstrated when it comes to generating bonds with others.
All the positive qualities of music are amplified when you generate the music yourself.
Percussion is an ideal way to get into the music or to solidify your tempo and rhythm if you already play an instrument.
Percussion gives us that essence of origins that allows us to forget for a moment our problems and connect with our depths.
