LP; what's that round thing with the mic stuck in it?

I've been watching the forums for posts about cajons and it's interesting to me how companies are getting away with charging so much money for these things. I built my own, and all up with snare...

I played a Christmas church gig and when we were done two people asked me what made "that" noise.. like a piece of metal or a ring hitting it. The right corner is actually curled away from the box...

ZoroZap; did you take that pic yourself? very interesting picture. The bottom of the cajon appears to certainly be on an angle while the top looks to be perpendicular to the line of sight (straight...

Here's a MIY trap table. It was a moderately easy project except that I have access to a lathe at work and many people will not have the same advantage. I used a cookie tray made from aluminum. It'...

Ditto this for me except no dombek.

yes

I would. But I would just use 1/2" ply instead of the ash that I used.

I'm not exactly sure what you are calling the "frame". If its the wood that goes around the perimeter, that's not for the snare wires, that's to attach the tapa and support your weight as you sit on...

Mine are installed just like the video, using a dowel that can be twisted to adjust the engagement. But, I don't have a lever with a handle that protrudes through the side and limits the adjustment....

It's in the amount of engagement of the snares. I found the best sound with the snare wires laying flat against the front. I'll take a pic this weekend and post it. My cajon is in our studio and we...

that's how I attached my snare, but I didn't make a lever the way he did. I'm not sure my photos show it, but I just put a 3" long screw into the middle of the big dowel and I have to reach into the...

This site is the one I used. It's very informative. I used 1/2" for the top, bottom, sides and back and 1/8" for the front. Then I built a second one for a friend and used 1/8" for the back too. They...

I made my own cajon bongos too, but I'm not warming up to them too much. Don't tell LP but I measured theirs at the local GC and then cut up the wood and glued it together. I may have missed...

Thanks Jerry... I agree with all points.

But to answer TC's questions; to be honest, it started for me when one of our band members sent me a youtube vid of someone playing a cajon and he...

Hey young Christian bro....

I made my cajon after doing a bunch of research on the subject and I like the sound of mine. After many years of hobbies and activities I have learned that when you are...

I did the same thing. I went to the local music store and bought a long drum key that was about 3" long and has a Tee handle. It works great. Sorry I don't have the name of the key cause I threw away...

Does anyone know anything about these? They are selling on 'bay.

Edit; I guess they are Aruba Percussion brand

I'm not a pro at this but you need to post your pics to a third party pic site like Photobucket and then upload from there. I think I either did a search for how to upload pics or I used the help...

Jerry; can you expand on your thoughts about the Folklorics? I'm really wanting some new congas. I have no idea how these sound but they look very nice, both cosmetically and how they are built....

So if the Matador series is pretty decent for congas, are the Matador series timbales a decent starter set?

I called these guys the other day to talk about their Latin RT conga line. A guy named Martin answered the phone. He was very informative and helpful, but according to him they make 1 buy a year from...

That too, but I was really referring to the video and the girl dancing!! Not poking fun at anyone or style, but I could just see our singer doing that while I play djembe!!!!!!

I'm sorry but.... :laugh:

DD; I've just added a 14" Djembe to my gear of mainly two congas and I'm trying to figure it all out. What I really would like to have is a 3rd Conga.. specifically 11.75", to round out my set and...
