EuroAussie Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I took inspiration from PM's wee covers band where their sound really got an extra level of depth and ooomph when they added a Cajon player so we went looking for one to try the same. We finally found one, had a couple rehearsal and let it run last night at our regular spot. Have to say it makes a HUGE difference, not only from getting a stronger bottom end but as a rhythm guitarist it really allows you to lock in with the drummer and get a really tight focuses sound. So were really happy with the first performance and will be back there in a couple weeks. Here's a couple clips, how does it sound to you, playing my trust HB TV as usual ... best at 720p ps: dont get turned off by the choice of material, just keeping the punters happy ... ;-) cheers, EA (the LG-2 full view review should be up hopefully this weekend) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I like the percussion sound of the cajon. Nice and steady beat. Plus, I think a drum is a good attention getter. Sounds very cool. I'm glad you posted this. I've actually been thinking of buying one just to use with my own recordings. I know this trio of folk pickers who have added one to their gigs. The guy who plays it (older than I am) said it's helped him learn new guitar rhythms for songs he has never played...... Good stuff, buddy.

Salfromchatham Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I agree. Great addition. I bought one two years ago and am always pleased at the ability of the cajon to replicate basic rhythms of a drum set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParlourMan Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Bing-bong, bigman... Love it. Glad you're enjoying the extra oomph it gives and the buzz of having that extra beef to the overall sound. Have a few of these.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatbaroque Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Good move mate- it works well.I've been impressed with PM's band and Sal's recordings with their use of this contraption.And now you guys as well.Whenever I get around to doing some recording again I want to try one of these on the strength of the good results you are all getting....of course I'll have to learn how to keep time first, always a bit ragged in that department.

Danner Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I like a cajon a lot. Especially when everybody is unplugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
