Very cool, Congalou!

You play that cajon marching around? Is that why you have a strap
on there?

Thank you, Bongo !!!

Yes, I can play sit or marching aroud, its very light and practical.

It's for a group with a tuba which play the bass and the sound is well balanced with this cajon, not too lood.

Cheers !

Congalou!

Very nice!
I prefer to sit on Cajon, at least mine self custom made (he's fat and heavy singer ;) )

I'm considering your option of putting cymbals the similar way!
Thanks and keep on grooving!

Congalou,
That looks like an interesting setup!

How did you fix the cymbal holder arm onto the cajon?

Thanks & compliments

Hello Mike, I have fix it with a plastic strand (or "necklace", I don't know the exact term)

it's not very solid, but it do the job. I think a drum fixation as floor tom hardware could be great on both sides of a cajon tu put arms and after what we want : cymbals, bell, etc...

Cheers,

Gaël.
