Cayon
The two different thicknesses create unique sounds of both a frame drum and a drum set. The Snare-Cayon is a perfect replacement for the drum set. The snare effect can be changed inside the drum through the manipulation of two screws, which vary the distance of the snare string to the wooden striking surface. With the ball of your foot pressed against the striking surface can be used to soften the tone.
The slaves working at the Cuban plantations did not have drums so they used the vegetable or cigar boxes instead to make music.
This Cayon is built with a stable fir frame with thin laminated beech wood for the striking surface. This thinner striking surface needs to be treated the same as you would treat a hide drum because of its delicacy. You can only sit on the fir part of the drum.

I become a drummer immediately with a snare- cajon drum. The most fun is to use two of them at the same time, using the bass side of one and the snare side of the other one. Drumming improves self-confidence and brings mental strength. Thorsten, Trainee, Alverdissen |  |
