Beauty setup. I'm going to start fabbing this up asap. I went looking for kick/snare but the blocks are a brilliant addition. I'm usually on a cajon or on my guitar but never both. This is going to open up a whole new world for me.
Very cool, I really like the woodblock idea & sound! I literally came up with almost the same setup, just that I'm using a foot tambourine instead. Great minds think alike ;-)
Cool playing and DIY rigging! I'm an older guitar player and I've had a Cajon for a few years, that I didn't use much. It kinda hit me out of the blue that I could use a bass drum pedal with it. Got one last week. It's sooo fun to play. Hardest part for me is keeping the dynamics of the bass hit consistent. Also I didn't like the snare-ish sound from the cajon on the bass hit so I put felt between the wires and the drum surface to eliminate it. I want to get another pedal for another sound but need to check out where on the cajon to stirke to get a higher, tighter tone. To be continued....
Any chance you could update the links to buy this stuff? (Or just lost the name to search for) Looks like they are no longer good. I’m basically a one-man band in the church and need a drummer and don’t have one. Great video by the way.
Thanks! At first it really is harder than it looks, but once you get used to the feel of the pedals, it’s sorta like tapping your foot to keep time 🤓. Really appreciate the kind comment-and SORRY for the slow reply!
Thanks so much! Whether you need some amplification on the cajon depends on size and acoustics of venue. Just the box should do for coffee house type gig, but if your in a club or larger event space, you’ll probably want to mic it or look at buying a cajon with a built in mic. Have a ball!
Thanks so much! I’d be glad to share a link, but I made the cajon. I think the dimensions are fairly standard, and even if they”re a little off, you should be able to make height adjustments of the snare pedal by making the wooden base thicker or thinner, or adjusting the length of the beater arm . Have fun with it!
Sure, Bro!

Well we don't need "3 legs" for impressive foot drumming. What the guy showed in the video is cool, but I feel he's sort of missing out on what's possible with foot-only drumming. Sounds to me like he used each foot to play only 1 drum sound (I.E right foot only playing bass drum, for example, and left foot playing either snare drum or wood block, for example). While this does easily allow you to add percussion to the guitar playing, it glosses over the fact that it's actually possible to hit more than one pedal with just one foot (depending on your setup of course). For instance, instead of using only one foot for bass drum and only one foot for snare drum, you would instead use the toe of one foot for the bass drum, and the heel on the same foot for the snare drum. This means you could do something else with the toe and heel on the other foot: the heel could play the wood block while the toe could play something like a pedal-controlled tambourine or cymbal or something. This can sound so much more interesting than just a bass drum and either snare drum or wood block. Listen to a guy called Cam Cole for an example of what's really possible with foot drumming like this. It sounds damn impressive. And yet he's doing it all by himself, while also playing guitar and singing, with no other musicians!

Thanks! So glad you found the lil vid useful! Have fun!
Exactly the ideas I've been looking for, while putting together my one-woman-ukulele-band set up!
I love this. I've been using the kick drum action for a while. I didn't even think about adding a snare, so kudos to you. Thank you.
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy!
This is great! Just what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!!
Very cool, I really like the woodblock idea & sound! I literally came up with almost the same setup, just that I'm using a foot tambourine instead. Great minds think alike ;-)
Thanks so much! I’d love to see your tambourine configuration if you have a pic :-)
Right on Amigo!
I love this set up! I'm definitely going to try this for my next show!
Thanks Man, Just checked out “Bittersweetl…. Spellbinding, Dude. Sooo dig what you do!
Very clever, and very simple, as a lot of the best ideas are.
Thanks for sharing, exactly what I was searching for
Think similar to you sir...that foot drumming was great .way more advanced than I was thinking possible
Really is a whole lot of fun, too!

I’d love to hear/see what you come up with!
Awesome idea!!!
Thanks - glad you liked it!
This is amazing. Great ideas 💡
sounds great!
thanks so much!

Thats awesome it must be difficult to get play a beat while playing the guitar

Really is a lot harder than I thought it would be, but after a little practice, you sort of find your groove :-)
Thanks for this great idea.
If I’m doing live performance using this setup, do I need like cajon with amp or something?
Thanks so much! Whether you need some amplification on the cajon depends on size and acoustics of venue. Just the box should do for coffee house type gig, but if your in a club or larger event space, you’ll probably want to mic it or look at buying a cajon with a built in mic. Have a ball!
@@thisislifesong313 Thanks. I actually ended up getting a cajon with build in pickup.
AWESOME!!!! Just what I've been looking for!!!!! Could you drop links for cajon you are using sounds great 👍
Thanks so much! I’d be glad to share a link, but I made the cajon. I think the dimensions are fairly standard, and even if they”re a little off, you should be able to make height adjustments of the snare pedal by making the wooden base thicker or thinner, or adjusting the length of the beater arm .

Innovative
Nice!!!
Thanks Man!
Can you provide a link to purchasing the kick pedal that has the long cable between the pedal and the hammer?

For even less money you can get a drummer? ;)
Meinl Bass Box plus Snare Box and sitting on a cocktail bar stool.
because farmer foot drums are just too damn expensive... lot of potential here..
Thanks for the comment! Hope the vid gave you some ideas!
Cool, but difficult😅
Yep-gives me a whole new appreciation for drummers! 🤣
hand egg shaker.. ?? :))
Great idea!
If only we had three legs.
