Here I share a very unusual and super funky finger roll technique, it;s taken from the flamenco guitar playing technique and applied unto the cajon!!
A Very useful tool for solo’s, breaks and fills…. 🙂 Enjoy!

Heidi,
You are such a beautiful person and musician. I just bought a cajon and am loving it! I’m 41 and have been playing drums since I was 14, but this is a whole new animal. I’m enjoying all you videos and what I’ve seen from Fernado’s Kitchen. My first question (and there will most likely be more) how would you suggest doing a finger roll with the same impact if you don’t have fingernails? I was born with none, and to flip my fingers around and do the same as you, hurts to much. I’m thinking maybe thimbles like you sew with? Anyway, you are a great person for sharing your talents and giving free lessons. Thank you so much!
