Thanks for the ideas ... I'm too oooold to sit hunched over on a cajon - but I still use one as a kick drum in the usual spot in front of me while I park myself on a nice, comfy throne. Those timbales look like a great idea - many possibilities!
Love the setup I've recently started exploring the cajon and different setups. A few jazz players were really impressed with what hot rods and a cajon can do. Still figuring out the different setups but it opens up the types of sounds and vibes I can do. The low volume is a big plus because I find myself playing with acoustic guitars a lot.
Hey great vid! Just curious: Did you add those snare throw-offs to the LP mini- timbales? They don’t come with those, do they? And what did you say is that snare weight you place on the low tom? Very cool indeed and thanks for sharing, thanks! 🙏🏽🥁
The snare throw offs came with the micro timbales. They are still selling these are far as I'm aware. Snareweights are great too and worth checking out.
@@PatGerasia Hmmmm... I have a set of the mini-timbales but they've been sitting in their original box for years (I was using a different set so didn't actually need these right away), so I'll check - thanks for letting me know! As for the snare weight, do various different companies make these? Which brand are you using (just out of curiosity)? Thanks so much!
@@beatmydrum I believe they added the micro snares in 2018/2019. Snareweight is actually the name of the brand itself. I'm using one of their original designs which they've improved a lot since then. they're fairly easy to find nowadays!
@@PatGerasiathanks for clarifying. Now that makes sense because I got mine out of the basement closet and definitely no micro-snares in there (mine are from mid-2000’s)! But I’ll check LP’s website as now I’m curious how much it might cost to buy them separately and add them on. And thanks also for the info re: Snareweight! 🙏🏽😊
Pat , around 2021 I became interested in your exact setup I can not agree with you more how your kit setup brings down the sound….but never thought about turning a bass pedal around and playing it with the heal of your foot…. I turn to the DW cable cajon pedal Thank you for spending the time with us acoustic drummer. Yes I would like to view more from you.
Oh and those timbale type drums sound so good w the fills!!! I didn’t even think that the original may have had those and it sounds just like it!! I think I was 9 or 10 when this song came out on the radio and I immediately fell in love with it.
thanks @benjamingib ! my old studio in upstate NY ruled. It was inside an old restored church with amazing acoustics. Also my good friend Drew Cyphers mixed the drums on this recording which really rounded out the sound!
Haha, looks very similar with my setup. I have cajon with pedal, hi hat, crash/ ride, side snare drum and pearl tombourin mounted on the hi-hat, as well as a cowbell, a jam block and a normal tambourine, and also a djembe instead of a floor tom :D I was also thinking about buying a picolo tom to have two toms, but I can always add my bongos to the set if I want to :)
This was always a favorite play along. Easy lover was really easy to play. Fun. Solid beat. Some typical nice Phil isms... very gettable...great song. Nice job here.
Pat also I saw recently a guy put a piece of thin plywood under the cajon to attach the pedal … with a players weight on the cajon the pedal stays solid give it a try…
Where are from? I know Jim Brock for many years.. BTW great lil set up. I recently put an acoustic rig together used backwards heel cajon 8” mini Sn LP Meinl Bongos lp claves and an effects cymbal. I also play salsa gigs use congas , timbalitos Bongos bells clave’ 16” bd 5.5 Sn and a splash Trying fiqure it out…
