  • Ive seen a lot of people make theres with the snares or strings going across the corner, you you cld hit the top middle and get very little buzz. Is there a certain reason yours goes all the way across?

  • hey man thanks for this video! i built one for the band im starting up and a drum kit is too expensive so we decided on a cajon. and your video helped out ALOT!!!! thanks again! I plan to make a video response in the next few days (:

  • Did you ever upload the link of the demo?

  • nice vid dude!

  • hey did you ever make that video of you playing it?

    

  • when you were first making these, did you follow any kind of instructions anywhere? I am hopefully gonna make one soon!..thinking of best snare strategies, found alot. Not sure which ones are effective, and have the sounds I am looking for. I really love the sounds of the LP aspire series, Do you think there is any way I can make one like those?

    Love the video!

  • good one:) godbless

    

  • Anyone ever put a electric bass pickup in a cajon?
