Foxman Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 My wife and I are thinking about purchasing a Cajon for the church we serve at. She is the pianist/keyboardist, our oldest plays guitar. I can carry a beat, but probably not good enough to play drums. In the absence of a true drummer/Cajonist, I am thinking I can play a Cajon well enough to provide a rhythm. But, I am a total noob. So, if you are familiar with these, based on my level of knowledge and the usage for this instrument, what would you suggest to purchase? This model keeps popping up on my browser searches, but I'd probably deal with a local guitar center or music store rather than Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Meinl-Percussion-Snares-NOT-China-Walnut-SUBCAJ5WN/dp/B00HV7U49W?tag=cajonmaster02-20&geniuslink=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 13, 2021 Moderators Share Posted July 13, 2021 Looks like no one has experiance, I have only seen something slightly similar but different being played in Jamaica, these guys were really good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxman Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 @001 His is one of the youtube video's I have watched at least part of. That is the one that keeps showing up. I posed this question in another group and it had one Cajon player who did not suggest the front port. Otherwise, this seems to be a very niche instrument. I just need to go and play around with them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I hope you find the information that you're looking for @foxman ... I play guitar, which you can make the argument that the guitar is both a string and percussion instrument; but that is beside the point of your post. I'm sure you're church family will appreciate any sound that you make during a worship service. God Bless You my friend. Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
