Hey! Thanks for the comment! The only remote cajon pedal setup I have ever seen (pictured in a previous post) is one called The Innovative Pedal Cajon. As far as I know you have to buy a cajon with the remote pedal system pre installed, as it is much smaller and more compact than a standard remote bass drum pedal. The only other cajon pedal setup I have ever seen is people turning a standard bass drum pedal around, and playing it with their heel against the front plate. This method takes more control as you have to make sure not to damage your face plate. The Innovative Pedal Cajon will cost you between $400 and $500, but can add a whole new dynamic to your cajon playing. Thanks again!

Hi I am a guitar player but i also make cajons and all sort of perc out of wood.
I really apreciated the article and i have a little tric for brushes ,,, I use foam insulation tube for copper pipes , cut a piece and tape it on the brush handle so it goes a little over the handle toward the brushes it gives a nice bass bottom to the brushes,,,

Great article! Thank you for spreading the gospel on cajons and cajon drumming! Lately I’ve been using the Meinl Foot Cabasa with my cajon and having great success. Definitely check one of those out. Be sure to also check out my videos on the basics of cajon drumming on my YouTube channel – - http://www.youtube.com/boomdrums
