  1. #Schlagzeug vs. #Cajon

    Gestern Abend bin ich für einen erkrankten Drummer eingesprungen und habe ein zweistündiges Unterhaltungsprogramm mangels Schlagzeug mit einem Cajon bestritten. Das klang mit Mikrofon abgenommen eigentlich echt gut; besser als ich erwartet hatte.

    Beim Soudcheck habe ich die Kante ungünstig getroffen und mir einen Bluterguss in Zeige- und Mittelfinger zugezogen. Die zwei Stunden Programm danach haben die Situation nicht gerade entschärft. 😖

    Passiert sowas öfter? 😕

  2. In the past year, a handful of sheriff’s departments in California have started 👉refusing to respond to 911 calls that involve a mental health crisis, but where no crime has been reported.

    In February, the #Sacramento sheriff, Jim Cooper, announced that his deputies would only respond to mental health crises if a crime had been committed or was in process,
    or if someone other than the person in crisis was in imminent danger.

    Down in #San #Diego county,
    the police chief for the city of #El #Cajon, Jeremiah Larson, made a similar policy decision in May.

    Several other law enforcement agencies in the state, including the #Ventura county sheriff’s office
    and the #Long #Beach police department have said their officers will respond to every call,
    but they may not stay if no crime is happening and the person in crisis does not pose a threat to other people.

    The trend comes as data shows the 💥catastrophic results of police responding to mental health calls.
    But the removal of police from these situations,
    which civil rights advocates have long sought,
    has also raised questions about the real-world impact in communities where alternatives are incomplete.

  4. More craft stuff.

    This mini-cajon for finger drum practice monogrammed for a particular special person, one who's spent time drumming with jazz bands in the UK— curious to see how he finds it after a few hours of play.

    Hardware & finishing now underway.

  6. Moin. Ich brauche mal #followerpower. Gesucht werden Songs (besser: Instrumentals) die gut mit folgendem Line Up funktionieren: #Gitarre (Bis auf Resonator alles da), #Bass und #Cajón. Kurzprogramm von ca. 20 Minuten. Bisher auf der Playlist: Flor D Luna (Santana-Version), evtl. Cruising (Al Di Meola). Ich bitte um #brainstorm.
    Danke
    Ach: Gerne boosten ☺️

  8. 'Finished' mini-finger-cajon.

    Quotes because I overdid it with the lettering, so turned it into a beta-test prototype unit. First enhancement was adding a slightly relaxed oiled leather strap to one each of the short & long sides, so now a player can choose a traditional wood tone or strike the leather for a nice clean snap. That’ll stay as I build a few more for pals.

    Handy for small space practice—and more like fun than practice.

  10. Photo of the finished item to come sometime after the next suitable sunny day lets me complete the stencil work and tidy up the finish.

    Stay tuned, so to speak...

  12. So why?

    Dim the house lights, and picture, if you will, a scruffy, lone, fedora-capped artist under a tight spot walking on stage clutching his humble bag like a not-so-well-to-do traveller, then stepping up to a dual SM-57 and blowing the crowd away with what it can do as a multi-piece orchestra progressively lights up in behind...

    Hence the 'MONSTER' branding (literally, via solar rays as with this mastodon.online/@f800gecko/114)

  14. As with many absurdly-simple looking wooden instruments, different grips, strike points and modes of attack can be used to produce a wide variety of sounds, while modest pitch bends and muting can be had by fingering the sound hole.

    This one's got a clean snap, no snare wire, but I'm likely to give that a go on my next try, along with moving to a hardwood/cedar soundboard construction approach.

  16. A finger cajon nearing completion, my latest mini-project.

    The standard cajon is a fairly large box-shaped instrument originated by African slaves in Peru who were denied traditional drums & resorted to shipping crates to get rhythmic. One sits on top and slaps, taps, etc. – most have snare drum wire mounted within for added sonic brightness & texture.

    Handmade from 1/4" pine, bamboo mini-skewers & wood glue.

  19. Unfortunately I was not able to upload this video in my Pixelfed account on gram.social due to the file size limits (the same as here). So I can just link to my Instagram:

    ‌Another cover of "Donya" originally sung by "Habib".

  20. Masto ! Y-a-t-il un #musicien par ici qui joue du #Cajon et qui pourrait me conseiller pour enacheter un de bonne facture.Le mien était en kit, il n'a pas un son génial et j'aimerais un bon son de basse et un timbre bien détaché ! je suis allé voir sur qques sites mais un avis expérimenté me conviendrait. Je joue dans le reggae, pop et aussi de la vériété.C'est plutôt varié en fait.
    Merci

  21. I’ve kinda been tossed into the percussion world so naturally I had to get a new toy. It only took 1 gig sitting hunched over a standard cajon for me to know I needed a slaptop instead. And it has pickups so going through my bass amp is amazeballs! Here’s my first few minutes with it…

  23. One of my favourite cupboards. So many fittings. So many threads. So little time. And frustrating not to find 1/2 inch NPT to something more useful! #hoke #swaged_slugs #gyrolok #cajon #wade #parker

  24. Today's jam is dedicated to my high school music teacher John Fautley, who inspired my passion for jazz, drumming, electronic music (notator on an Atari ST, anyone?) and the recording arts.

    This jam is a cajon solo over a riff that's from a song called Lawra that Tony Williams plays on. It's being played by the microfreak. I mic'ed the cajon with two mics, back and front.

    Hope you like it!
