Cover of Amos Lee's "Sweet Pea."
Again, the lack of a decent video editing app on the Mac leaves me with few options when it comes to sharing these recordings on a publicly viewable space on the interwebs.

great stuff! I love the cajon (same thing the Isaacs use)
what is the string system in that cajon? do they come off of the corners of the top in a 45, or what?
thanks for posting.

@crosswalkstudios There are two sets of parallel strings that run from near the top center of one of the faces to the far bottom corners. Think of it as an "A" shape, minus the crossbar. This particular cajon from Fat Congas has tunable snare strings, so that's a bonus, and then the opposite face is a standard cajon face. Pretty trick rig, really.
And thanks a bunch for the comment!
