Thanks Keith for the great plans. I just printed them and will begin building this weekend. It was good to read that old guitar strings will work. I Co-host an open mic at a local coffee shop and have seen guys with these home made drums and they really sond just like a drum set. Looks like great fun. Is ther a way to get any sort of cymbal sound with this?

Thanks for the comment. The snares do touch the front face. I used snare wires from a snare drum rather than guitar strings. Cajon drums do use guitar strings for sound as well, you will need to have them touch the front to give the buzz sound. Good luck with building your Cajon.

I like the drum, I think there is a bit too much snare though. I could trim off some of the wires to reduce it a bit. I’ll try and put up some audio examples so that you can hear them.

Have looked at drum plans which are excellent to get me started.

What I am not sure is if the snare strings actually touch the front board that you play on. Are they ment to touch?

What strings do you use? Are they guitar strings and if so which string?

Many thanks and great site

Martyn

This looks good, nice and simple. How does it sound? Are you happy with this? is there anything you would have done differently to make it better. I’m just wondering because I plan to build on here soon.

Hello Keith,

Love your site!

Just learned that the link to Kotz Cajons is broken (appears that the url is repeated). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have some new designs I think you’ll like.

Cheers,
Michael

i have built two in the past, and was just talked into building 2 more, a snare can be anything from old bass strings, store bought snare, light chain, springs from futons thrown out by neghbors, strings of beads, or somthing else, experiment what will work for one will not work for another,

Hi!
I’m from Japan. I’ve just happened to find your website while surfing.
What a website it really is. I enjoy browsing thru.
I’m a cajon builder myself and my website is introduced on Rhythm Web. I also make a cajon pick-up with an equalizer.

I’ll come again soon.
