This course is basically a compilation of my courses: Learn your first 100 rhythms on Cajon, Learn your first 100 rhythms on drums and Emulate a drum set with percussions. In this course we will learn to play the drums and the cajon. And also to emulate a drum set with the cajon and percussions so that you have a portail option to recreate your drum set. When you play drums in a group, sometimes there is a situation where, for reasons of volume or space, it is necessary to call a percussionist and make the versions in an acoustic format. In the same way, sometimes, if you play the cajon, the situation, party, type of event or type of music may ask you for more volume and power, and it is necessary to call a drummer. The idea of this course is that you can cover all the percussive options and needs of the band, or at least the minimum ones, in a competent way. This course is oriented so that you can be a complete drummer who makes the different rhythmic patterns of each song with the most convenient instrument according to the moment and situation.
