If I were to attempt it, I’d use a Sure 57 or 58....probably start with a 57. May need 2 mics to get the full sound; one behind to capture the bass and one in front to capture the slap sound off the tapa.
Mic for Cajon
I joined a band as a percussionist. My main instrument is a cajon. Are there opinions about what would be a good mic to use with it?
Thanks in advance,
Jack

Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!

Re: Mic for Cajon
I never would have thought of using TWO mics. Love your sig, BTW.

Re: Mic for Cajon
I bought two Digital Reference Instrument mics. One of my friends said that they would work well. I would have tried them tonight, but practice was cancelled. I think I'll take them to the theatre where I volunteer and see how they sound through the PA there.

I FINALLY got to try my mcis last night. It turns out that one of them stuck in the sound hole works well. The rest of the band was happy with the results.

Re: Mic for Cajon
Cool Jack. I was wondering which solution you would go with.
