Hey Felipe👋🎶, thanks for your video. I have a question: Till now I always used Wire-Brushes. I really enjoy their sound. But I‘ve heard, that it isn’t good for the frontplate of the Cajon! Would you agree?

@@benotminghaus2861 Hi Ben, thanks for you message. I don't agree with that because I use all the time and it isn't damaging the "tapa". The important is the rubber part between the handle and the wires. If it's a standard brush with the handle made of plastic it can damage the front plate. You can notice in the video in both wire and nylon brush there is a rubber protection.

I honestly prefer to play cajon with brushes. It's better for the body ergonomically and you can get nuances with brushes that you can't get with hands. Sure, sometimes hands are necessary if you really need to pack a wallop, but brushes do the trick more often than some players might suppose. I use a variety that includes Vater cajon brushes, Vater little monsters, Vic Firth cajon brushes, Vic Firth poly-flex nylon brushes, Vic Firth bru-llets, Vic Firth African grass remix brushes, Vic Firth jazz rakes and Promark broomsticks. The feel of the music determines which ones I use, but other factors such as amplification and the acoustics of the room play a role as well. Thanks for sharing your insights on the topic.

Cool video Felipe, I don't use metallic brushes in the cajon because it damages the front cover after some time of use, I always use and recommend nylon brushes to avoid damaging your instrument.

@CajonMaster 3 жыл бұрын

I've always use it and never damage the front plate. It probably depends which Wire brush you're using. And I love the sound of the metal brush on the cajon. 😉

Nice video..I also have one made of straw which is great... traditional grip is good to use because it's more comfortable natural position on tapa.....nice video 😁😁also..I use thick meinl one as well...great for a heavy bass sound especially if you move the rings closer to the end

Metal brushes can leave some marks after some time, nothing major but yes, it happens. However, it sounds very nice!

I am new to cajon playing. I wonder what would happen if you used a bass drum mallet like they use in marching bands-with a felt head and wooden shaft...🤔

@CajonMaster 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for your question. It can be a bit heavy to play it because of the vertical position of the cajon. I use a soft mallet in my cajon pedal when I use a pedal on the cajon, I never play the cajon with mallets on my hands.

@tomorr7692 2 жыл бұрын

Try Vic Firth bru-llets. They're a combination brush and mallet.
