That's cool. I hope you get to check out "Mike Masuda's Cajon Setup" at some point. He uses a slightly different setup (and peripherals) but his kick idea is closer to a standard kick pedal's mechanics, so he says he can do those Bonham "triplet fills" a lot easier than the heel method you employ. He uses a double kick pedal and mods it for cajon use.
My regular drum kit is too loud or too big for some shows. I usually play it with brushes, multi-rod plastic sticks or by hand. I use it on a singer-acoustic guitar/ percussion gig, also with a piano and percussion gig and a get the feel of playing a drum kit.

Yes I used a regular snare which I cut and glued to the top of the plywood. Also the sides are plexiglass sheets so you can hit it hard with a standard b.d. pedal. I have already tested this cajon live with a big audio set up and a it sounds good.
Sounds great. I was thinking of getting a Cajon and using a kick pedal to play it as a bass drum in an acoustic setting. I was thinking of putting it in front of me like a regular bass drum but you had a great idea sitting on it and using the pedal on the side. I'm going to have to give this a try.
Nice one!
Have you tried building a kickport into your cajon? It works great for getting the big subby sound, check out my channel for an example

What's the point? Why not just use a normal drum kit?

Hi,
Yes I used a regular snare which I cut and glued to the top of the plywood. Also the sides are plexiglass sheets so you can hit it hard with a standard b.d. pedal. I have already tested this cajon live with a big audio set up and a it sounds good.
Thanks or the comment.

Do you think a standard cajon will hold up to a kick pedal if not hit too hard? Thanks.
