Unforgetable moment, Live in Temanggung!

Cajon (Drum Box)
The word means crate or box or drawer.
And this is exactly what a cajon is.
It's a wooden box which is
played as a drum. Since it's early beginnings the design of the
the cajon has not changed all that much. From the most modern up
to date cajons with built in amplification and adjustable snare and
bass tones to the most humble box, the cajon is still a hollow box
usually made from plywood.
The cajon has a thin layer of plywood on one side....like the bottom of a drawer.....and thicker wood to the sides and top, usually the back of the cajon has a sound hole, and simply beating on different parts of the front surface will give different sounds.
A bass drum sound can be achieved from hitting the middle of the playing surface and higher toned sound can be achieved by hitting the box closer to the top. Thus one can play the cajon box drum in a similar way as one would a bass drum and snare or toms.
How to use |
This makes the box cajon a very versatile and easily
transportable instrument.Most
cajons are about one foot square and 18inches tall. The player sits on the cajon and hits
the front surface.
The instrument has become very popular in
recent years with acoustic bands and it's very earthy and acoustic sound
fits perfectly with other acoustic instruments.
Most people can
beat out a basic rhythm on a cajon very easily. But as with all musical
instruments practice will bring out the best in the player and also the
instrument.
We make a range of cajons so suite all styles, levels
of expertise and budget.
Every cajon we produce is handmade and
ready to play.
