New Yet Old Drums! Cajon Solo by David Kuckermann

David Kluckermann of  framedrums.net shows his style on this great cajon by Schlagwerk. Imagine this guy doing a drum circle with a group of beginning student players! What an uplifting yet challenging even that would be!

 The cajon is also gaining tremendous traction in percussion for acoustic performance with flamenco, classical and acoustic ensembles.

I believe that we will find that music plays a significant role also in development and restoration of faculties. What a great potential frontier for both preventative and restorative therapies!
