Cajon improved with more snare
Posted on April 4th, 2014 by yowch
The cajon we built has a rather weak snare sound (the tsk-tsk-tsk of drum), and we bought a piece of $15 snare (cheap one for basic snare drum) to improve it.
1. We cut the snare into 2 across the middle.
2. The tapa (front tapping board) was removed.
3. The 2 new pieces of snares were added and the original displaced.
4. David mounted the snares.
Here’s the finished product, a much richer sound with more snare, but the bass (thom-thom sound) is now mixed with more snare (tsk-tsk sound).
