Brady, an 11 yr old blind special boy plays the slap-top cajon.
I would say... he really has a talent.

Note: "11 yr old blind special boy" is taken off the description of the youtuber's other posts.

I have 3 pairs of inner ear earphones for daily use.

A pair of Philips Model Unknown but the exterior is similar to the picture below. (Bought in 2011 or earlier)

A pair of Raxconn RX-108BK. Bought with from a deals website (Bought December 2011)


A pair of Audio Technica ATH-CK323M. Thinking that my Raxconn has spoilt. (Bought Feburary 2014)

Guess who won?

The Raxconn RX-108BK that i bought on a deal on December 2011. The cheapest, the longest lasting and the best.

Why? To make it simple, the sound - base and acoustic is full and solid. No "hollow" or "outer space" effect. Looks like the cheap and "not well known brand" earphones may not be lousy.

Here is the tutorial... in thai. I took a look and i found it clear enough to be understood. In the 1st place i do felt that there should be no language barriers when it comes to music.
Chords:
Cadd9: 0203
G: 0232
Em: 0321
D: 2220

And here is her performance. Appreciate her efforts with the subtitle and chords aligned below.

In this tutorial there is a use of Cadd9 chord. That is new to me too. I went to find out more, and it simply means is a C Major chord, with the 9th note (CDEFGABCD) . So you just need to play GDEC.
