I love Cajons so much! They have a beautiful history that is worth looking into and are a fun, easy, and affordable way for people to get into jamming and making music. They’re something most people can hop on, keep a beat, and have a lot fun with (I know all of my friends enjoy mine), and I think it feels pretty natural to most people. I have Cajons to thank for really started me on my journey into making music, expanding into other instruments, and upping my percussion and drumming game. It’s been a priceless passion and therapy. I think Cajons are an awesome addition to any occasion or accompaniment and that we’ll be seeing more of them. I’m honestly curious as to why anyone would have negative feelings towards them or any instrument, really..? Much love to the Cajon throne!🎶🎶🎶
First off, Thanks Justin! You present highly informative videos in a landscape smothered in pseudo-informative junk. I am a percussionist and use a custom cajon purchased locally here in my hometown of Fort Collins, CO for under $200. It has a highly responsive front panel that produces bass tones, mid range tones and snare (an actual snare drum snare on the top inside of the front panel that works perfectly). A drum mic at the rear port through a small Alto mixer into an Alto TX210 powered speaker gets the sounds out. I use this in smaller size venues with an "acoustic" band (2 electrified acoustic guitars, electric bass, cajon). For a larger venue, the cajon goes into the PA , along with my powered speaker. This is accompanied by a small cymbal and a rack of percussion "toys". Perhaps because I am primarily a hand percussionist/drummer, I love the cajon in this type of setting. It is definitely NOT the choice for a loud, screaming electric guitars type band. The ease of set-up is great, and the vocalists/acoustic guitar guys love the controlled volume. I searched for years for the right sound that fell somewhere between my drum set and my congas, that could still deliver a solid back-beat, and the cajon kit delivers, making me a big fan of this approach.
This has nothing to do with Cajons, but I just wanted to say thank you for being the most useful source of information while I sought after my first ever electronic drum kit. Any question I had, you had the answer to. Thanks again!
I LOVE my Cajon & use it weekly at church. From there, I've gotten offers from acoustic guitarists to sit in on jam sessions. Swwweeeeet! Great vid, Justin.
I absolutely love playing the Cajon. I first played it in our school Choir and It fits it so well. You can do a lot with it if you know how to, and they are really good in school because a full drum kit would be too loud and you wouldn't hear the singers. I also took it with me on a school camping trip. You would never be able to do that with an electric drum kit xD
I also like to experiment a bit with customisation but I always go back to the classic cajon. I just wanna get better and better at making one simple instrument sound good. Nice video!
Professional cajonador here for flamenco. I’ve been playing cajon since 1993. They are great percussion instruments and are quite portable. I own quite a few at this point. You can do a lot with them given time to explore all of their nuances. The Meinl Seguiriya and slanted front Cantiña cajons are my favorite gigging cajons. They aren’t cheap but the sounds they make are far tastier than cheaper models. And they look fantastic.
Great Video! Thanks so much for all your time and effort putting this together.. if not the absolutely most incredibly informative Cajon video I've watched so far.. at least you have that kinda wicked dry sarcastic sense of humor... which was great for a good laugh!! Thanks! Jonathan #LimitsofAdhesionRacing
The one cajon you didn't mention is one of the ones in the middle price range. The Meinl Jumbo Subwoofer Cajon! That one has an epic sound with a deep kick and pretty crisp snare. It's practically perfect.
Cajons are AWESOME in an intimate environment. In a large room, I would never play one, but if someone else wants to add their cajon to my drum set playing, I'm down with that.
Check out the Meinl Jumbo Subwoofer Cajon! It's got a really epic deep bass sound and crisp snare. It projects a lot more before you would need to mic it too.
Hey Justin wow I thought I was the only drummer who used these... I use a Meinl subwoofer bass cajon and use it to play at funerals as well as small gigs at people's houses.. look into the lil roomer from meinl also a gigging cajon drumset.. good coverage... and thanks for all the informative videos I buy alot of electronic drums thanks to ur reviews....
@@65Drums it's sad and just started playing this past year was asked by my church band. Since I brought in electronic drums into my church thanks to ur recommendations.. you've really helped...
Great vid, love it, thank you Justin. Started playing the cajon in 2010 or 2011, while living in Spain and went through several great spanish cajons. As a drummer by trade (with a great love for the versatility of such a small drumset) I came across an LP Aspire A1332. Absolutely love this one. A bit heavier than your regular cajon, but great sound, 3 snare wires instead of guitar strings inside, great for jamming with nylon brushes, etc. pretty loud and a decent price. Played for a while with the idea of getting the Roland cajon sound module, but found it a bit of an overkill. Btw, keep watching your videos from beginning to end since 2017. Peace from Lisbon. :-)
Wow! I didn't know there were that many Cajon Companies out there and I certainly didn't think that there were that many options available. Great Job covering them Justin.
Cajons are Peruvian originally. might want to check out some of their top of the line models. Atempo Cajons and Percussion Real cajons. pretty nice wood working craftsmanship, and they always use dovetail joints, as every cajon should have, on the intersecting of the wood.
Great info. I never had time to look up origin. I use it for church but I don't consider myself a expert. I just consider myself a basic percussionist. I do think the industry is trying to hard making so much for such a minimalistic instrument like the cajon shaker and electronic cajon I think is a stretch.
shout out to tukituki-instruments.com/ in New Zealand, got my custom Cajon from him for my 21st years ago and I love it. Never realised they were competing with edrums before though
I’ve got a Mienl Turbo Slap and love it. I also have the pearl Boom box... I like to play the turbo slap on top of the Pearl and it adds just a small touch of more bass to it.
the T shaped cajon is called a slaptop cajon. its called that because youre supposed to hit the top of it, and put the "stem" of the T in between your legs to hold it. it was made so that the person playing it doesnt get back and neck pain.
Honestly, great video! I personally, don't care for Cajons a lot because you're sitting on a wooden box that trying to be percussive. There's only like 2 snares inside that make the snare drum part and a hollow area for the kick. Plus you have to bend down in order to play them... I've played one several times and I've found that I play drums, not percussion. I don't hate cajons, just not a fan of them.
It's a nice instrument if played by a percussionist who is trained on it. Having said that, it really sucks the big one if you're trying to get through the night hunched over, emulating a drum set on it. If you need to play drums, then play drums, don't let anyone convince you to switch out your instrument because THEY feel like it. If the sound you're going for calls for electronic drums, you're in luck. If, on the other hand, electronic drums don't cut the cheese in your situation, you can : A. Get a smaller drum set. B. Modify your existing acoustic drum set to sound smaller. C. Try lighter sticks, brushes, rods, mallets, soft sticks etc. D. Most important tip of all, DON"T BEAT THE ABSOLUTE LIVING CRAP OUT OF YOUR DRUMS. Low volume technique is WAY underrated by drummers and MUCH appreciated by other musicians. I can't tell you how many times people have thanked me for just "playing the room". Your channel is awesome, thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
The cajon its a good instrument when you are in area that full drumset are a problem. Then you have cajon that dont take much space. That is one of the idea behinde it
T shape Cajon is made so you don't have to bend over to play it, Some are small enough to sit on lap and have the main part between the legs. I do think electronic Cajon are trying to hard as you said Justin. If the drum set Cajon was made to stack within each other for transport and have wheels that would be handy, for those small venues where electronic drums would be annoying because the rubber would be louder than the Amp volume like you said Justin then the Cajon set would be nice if it was stackable.
I’m not sure, but would recommend searching RUclips for some others. I like the El-Cajon and I believe the other is called Cajon-E much better. 👌 Hope that maybe helps!
Hi from Canada. I make more Money gigging with my Cajon than my kit...And get more requests from employers to use it. As much as I hate Cajons... most of my shows incorporate one
never entirely understood cajon in standard 4/4. It was developed to play african syncopated rhythm and that is where it shines. And I'll give the flamenco cajon players props; they also make it sing.(FYI: it is from Peru, not spain). Playing a cajon for standard rock or folk seems more utilitarian, like it was just convenient for the sake of transport and only for intimate settings.
I've got one and have used it on a couple of acoustic gigs. I suppose they have their place, but in reality, I don't like them! I have to agree with Harry Miree and say I just don't wanna play cajon!!!!
Is there any other peruvian musician outhere, proud of the popularity of the cajón .. but a little anoyed at the fact that almost no one knows that the cajon its a Peruvian percussion instrument
Is it? I never had time to look it up but that is great info. I respect it but I do think the industry has gone a little crazy, trying to stretch it into other areas.
I am GOING to laugh here ! A CAJON (OLD BOX) was the cheapest of "Instruments" in CUBAN percussion. The perfect CAJON was a wooden box of Coca_Cola. because by moving or removing planks of wood from the bottom you could TUNE it. My grandfather would piss himself if he knew a CAJON is a thing in the USA. Oh Justin .. the way Americans pronounce CAJON sounds a LOT like "COJON" which is slang for TESTICLES.. the proper pronunciation is KHA-HOHN oh boy the LARGEST cajon and SMALLEST cajon . I TOTALLY lost it there
I love my cajon, which I built myself out of birch, mostly purchased at Lowes (tapa 1/8 birch from Woodcraft, but Michael's has it). I bought a table top mic stand to put a Shure 57 in front if I need to bump up volume. Great for small acoustic band situations and when my 66 year old body says, " NO, I'm not loading a drum kit for this!" :-) I love playing things I have "sweat equity" in...I also made a matching shaker from left-over plywood.
In my opinion the only types of cajons I find useful for certain situations are the classic, hybrid, electronic and laptop cajon. The rest are either unnecessary or just plain stupid. *cough* cajon drum set *cough*

Have you tried using an LP “Cajon Throne”? Definitely helps with the butt. And the hands thing, for me at least, just took time to get used to if you play pretty regularly. Definitely hurt for a good day or two after my first few multi-hour sessions, though! 😆
You know how companies make products by recycling the scrap pieces of other products? That’s the Cajon, made from scrap pieces of wood from drum shells with cheap electronics inside. It was an after thought from the real drum making process. Hey that’s my theory anyway 🙄

Your snare drum is a cajon, your kick drum is a cajon, your seat is a cajon, your mom is a cajon, your life is a cajon, you're a cajon.

Thank you Justin. Cajons are awesome. I play with a duet. Acoustic guitar and myself on cajon. Works perfect in small settings
I mean the wooden crate look would go back to the Cajon's origins so I guess that makes sense.
Cajons are AWESOME in an intimate environment. In a large room, I would never play one, but if someone else wants to add their cajon to my drum set playing, I'm down with that.
My thoughts too
You mic them like my church does. My church is about 700-900 seating.
Check out the Meinl Jumbo Subwoofer Cajon! It's got a really epic deep bass sound and crisp snare. It projects a lot more before you would need to mic it too.
I am actually surprised, even before this video, no one has made the Cajon Throne so your throne at the drum set can be used as cajon when needed.
Cool video really neat different kind of cajons!!
