nice vid! how did you take it?

 

[KDY]

Cool.. Any idea where your drummer bought it?

 

[Benster]

video was done by a film crew (friends of ours) with a portable crane. as for the cajon sound.. we just mic up separately and *try* to sync it with the video feed.. lol

i think you can get it at music theme/ranking sports?

 

[kanzer]

wow cool. interesting to have such friends man.

Nice vid. Video-ing is something that's important which helps to focus and showcase a musician

Hi everyone,
jus wondering if you guys know where can i get some instructional book for cajon playing? i can find guitar/bass/drums but no cajon.

thot tht i get the book 1st, learn a bit b4 i decide whether i wanna commit to buying a cajon myself

 

[ROUGHIE]

redname, i don't think u'll find one. i don't think it even existed! hehe. but another way to learn it is through watching the videos in youtube and trying it out yourself. it's not that difficult... its fun!

the australian RockBox cajon sounds really good. nice snare, just enough bass. sounds good for rock applications

thanks for the offer, tht will be my next step when i get a cajon but now i gotta learn a bit 1st.

I already have someone in mind to teach me, the prob is whether he got time or not

[MadWerewolfBoy]

Well, at least not as loud as a full drumset.. They should be grateful!

mine has a pickup




kekeke, jus kidding, no money for tht man, jus the cheapest i can find in swee lee.

my neighbours won't be annoyed by the volume but will be annoyed by the lousy drumming.

as my mum used to say, "loud nvm but at least make it sound gd"

bought @ 100+ aft 50% discount

i think u r trying to ask whether the sound is tight. the bass sounds deep and the snare has to be hit at the right part for tht nice tight sound.

i'm not sure whether they sell the cajon with pick up.

I'll need to learn how to mic it up next time. any advise anyone?

anyone can recommend a mic? i know SM57 is it but its can of expensive

 

[redname]

anyone tried getting a pickup for their cajon?

i'm not toking abt the ones meinl has but rather an alternative i can use to pickup the sound of a cajon.

i've tried those tranducer pickup for guitars but comments were tht the lower freq can't be heard

 

[kamalbensra]

I use a 57. Get it, it's worth the money. It's not that expensive if you look at the whole range of mics that are in the industry. It's a good mic that will last.
