Fellow Ukers,
have you heard of the Cajon drum? Its basically a box with a "tapa" front. You sit on the box and hit the "tapa" in different areas to make different sounds. It has a snare at the top of the box, and a bass sound in the middle of the box. Its really popular in Spain and Mexico I think, and people are actually using it as a substitute to drums. I think it is a wonderful percussion instrument to pair with the ukulele.
Soo, I'm going to build myself one. I found plans using plywood and guitar strings for the snare and am going to experiment with the sounds I can make with the pairing of the Ukulele and Cajon.
Does anyone at ukulele underground own a cajon?
