    That looks cool!

    Looks a bit uncomfortable, but I guess the old abs don't mind a bit of a workout - could kill two birds with one stone...

    I thought only a married couple in Louisiana could legally build a cajon.

    Very cool,

    It sounds really nice as far as I can tell from the vid, it looks better for being home-built too.

    I saw a percussionist by the name of Kaz Hussain performing with Aruba Red at John Henry’s Studios in London last year. He was basically covering both drumset and percussion parts by using a Meinl Cajon on his lap and a tambourine under his left foot.

    He had his forearm across the cajon and he would smack the cajon with his forearm to create a bass drum pattern. Then he would use his hands and/or 1 drumstick to play percussion or emulate the snare (or both). The unconventional technique was quite impressive to watch.
