Cajon Drums

Never heard of this before, whatever it is?

It's basically a vented wooden box with steel strings in the interior run across the front wall (the contact surface). Essentially, the strings provide a snare effect to the bassy thump you get playing it. Used widely in Flamenco and other styles of Latin music although I've seen them used in various World Beat type styles. Trickier than it looks but fun to play.

Finally the solution for overly loud drummers in rehearsal spaces.

Finally the solution for overly loud drummers in rehearsal spaces.

There are other solutions for that, most of them involving the use of weapons.

Yes, it's called musical self-defense. The right to bear arms and subdue drummers.

One of my old singers is now playing, using a zendrum.
