Looks like a great setup. How do you use cymbals in conjunction with the cajon? I've been wanting to use a ride cymbal. How do i transition between holding a stick in my right hand for cymbal parts, back to full two hand cajon parts?
Hey, i've watched all your stuff, and I think you give good reviews. I don't want this to be a "personal" question, but do you make a decent amount of Cash from being a local bass player/percussionist. Because i'm a teen that wants to be a musician.
@Dugger1997 : I make a fair amount of money, but since the gigs are sporadic, it is hardly considered steady income. I work as a part-time physics professor at a local college, which brings in more moey, but I still need to find additional income--particularly over summer months. If you do want to be a gigging musician, learn to read standard notation and chord charts. It will get you more gigs.
@MikeMMasuda Also, work on your ensemble chops--learn to listen to the band and don't overplay. It will also help if you can sing and work out harmonies and play at the same time. Also--NETWORK! Connect with other musicians as much as possible, even if they are out of your comfort zone. They will know others. Good luck!
awesome sounding setup!
