Ok, I just found out about the cajon & would like to ask you guys for advice to see if it would fit my needs.
Basically I'm looking for an instrument that I can lay down a drum track immediatly. I have a drum kit in my studio but I need something to go along with my portastudio which I use as a song sketch pad in my bedroom. At the moment I have a mic connected to a pitch shifter & reverb, all I do to get drum sounds is to play brushes on my desk with this set up (it works believe it or not). The cajon may work better & may illiminate the need for all of these effects & bother. So can you think of anything better or do you agree that the cajon may be the answer?
Please don't mention a drum machine, I've had plenty & hated them all - I don't want to program - I want to play & I hate the crappy little "sensitive" pads as well, so playing on them in real time is out aswell!
PS can you get semi acoustic cajons? Probably a stupid question.
Cheers lads
