On the road…
Hello cajon players,
I have been on the road now for a few weeks, from Bahrain to Germany. As a consequence I have found it hard to post new lessons.
I have been planning a new batch of 40 lessons to be posted by the end of July.
If you have any ideas at all for anything you would like to see please let me know.
More coming soon,
All the best.
Paul :)
Video blog 3 - I am off on the road for 2 months. Come with me! Updates will be from the road.
The Kopf S Series Snare cajon…
The Kopf Cuban Tumba cajon! What a funky drum.

Cajon test drive videos
Hello!
I have started doing cajon test drive videos for the cajon store. It will give you a chance to have an in-depth look at the cajons we offer.
If you are considering purchasing a cajon but are not quite sure where to go, this will definitely help you.
You can find them here:

All the best and good luck finding the right cajon for you.

Q:I apologize if this has been asked before, but what is the best microphone positioning for the cajon? Inside the cajon? Pointing at the hole? On the front? Thanks!
Hello Juan! No problem man.
There are a couple of different ways you can do it. It all depends on personal preference and the equipment you have available to you.
1. A Sure beta 91 or similar microphone inside the cajon, placed on a soft surface like a towel or such like.
2. An SM57 or similar microphone placed 6 inches from the sound hole with the diaphragm of the microphone pointed slightly away from the hole.
3. If you have the capability you can combined both techniques and have the sound engineer blend both mics to achieve a balanced sound.
In the studio I would also mic the front of the cajon just to give you that option too.
I hope this helps you. Let me know if you have any other questions.
All the best,
Paul :)
