Oceans • Cajon Playthrough
A bold request from Hillsong, Oceans asks the Holy Spirit to grow our faith. There's large parts of the song without drums, but where they play is really fun! This song uses a lot of tom rhythms, and it can be challenging to incorporate those sounds into a cajon arrangement.
Bonus fun fact, I've never played this song live- it was huge when I was in college, but it was always a different team or drummer playing it in the services I was in, and by the time I was back home, it wasn't all the rage. Still a great song!

For Janelle Long- thanks for the request! Hope this helps!

My goal with these videos is to provide a somewhat simplified version of the percussive elements for the song, while retaining much of the feel and rhythms normally beat out on a drum kit. I don’t want to use a ton of flashy playing, or even show the full extent of what I might play if I were to sit in on cajon for a Sunday morning set with this song. I’ve been known to add hihats, tambourines, shakers, toms and a whole bunch of stuff to an “acoustic set” kit. While those can all be appropriate and a lot of fun, I don’t feel like that’s the most helpful for someone who’s sitting on a cajon for the first time or is still getting a feel for playing with a band. For these videos, I’ll stick to a cajon and an occasional shaker.
If you have any questions about playing cajon, how I approached this song, or any song requests, let me know!
Glory to God, always.
P.S. - Best lighting I’ve had yet, but still a work in progress that will hopefully continue to improve with each video shoot. A special thanks to my friend Dan, who manned the camera and puts up with my shenanigans, bloopers and rants!

@@neriellef8686 The model in this video is a Snarecraft from Meinl- in general Meinl makes really nice instruments! Currently I'm mostly playing a Super Snare model Echoslap cajon in videos, which also sounds great. Getting one where you can adjust the snares, or at the very least turn them on and off is helpful for getting more sound variations out of your instrument!
Lots of love❤️❤️ you are amazing ..keep going. I notice that you haven't posted since a year ago. Please. .. do not stop..please.

I hope to get back to doing these, but right now I'm just swamped. These take a lot of time to set up, shoot, tear down, and edit, so I'd like to eventually create a setup in my basement that would look similar to this (and not like a basement) so I could shoot them more frequently and with less burnout. But, that will take time and money. Hopefully it won't be too long before I have some new videos!

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking- are you asking how to count this beat out? If so, which part of the song in particular?
