In this video Steve modifies my cajon percussion box with his new adjustable snare option. Pretty cool! Steve is a genius when it comes to choosing wood tones and getting things to sound 'just right' on an instrument. He's also a great guitar tech too! Got questions? Or want to drop him a line? Can always reach him by email:

Knowing Steve, he'd be more then happy to help you out!

The best mechanism on the internet. I must have looked at a dozen options and thought up a dozen more, but this one was it. Cheers for the share. Now, if only mine had come out as elegant lol.

@thefoff92 4 года назад

I just did this to my own cajon. Sounds way way better. Thanks for sharing, legend! 😁

@robincrosscarpenter1 Год назад

Love the small switch design. Think I'll use a car door lock as a fancy switch.

@jacolon61 4 года назад

I did your mechanism and it came out great. I had purchased a cajón 2 years ago with no snare. It was not an option. So I added one using your method. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

@drumjunkie24 7 месяцев назад

It's pretty cool what you're doing here. I'm experimenting with all kinds of cajon mods on my channel. The cajon is an amazing instrument.

@101boertjie Год назад

A neat modification, I was looking at how to make the snare "turn on or off" and yours is a great method.

@petermathews8895 7 лет назад

hi Steve, Your brilliant design has just reached the UK!! I made the adjustable snare mod to my Cajon together with the screws lower down too. I had to tweak the slot in the ply with a flared bracing as my sides were only 10-11mm thick. But what a great sound now. transformed! Thanks Steve.

@@steveregnier7317 I did, it’s an awesome idea! I can’t take credit for it so tagged you on Instagram on my post, hopefully you’ll approve lol.

@jasonkoontz4095 4 года назад

Little suggestion. Maybe put a piece of leather or rubber on the bar that stops the snare so it doesn't make a noise when you shut it off don't want that sound to be part of the performance lol I like the simplicity of the shut off though right in the front you don't even have to think about it just on or off in the middle of playing. I love it

@steveregnier7317 3 года назад

I screw in a small piece of wood that the snares rest on, so they don't shake around when turned off. Cheers!

@IAMGouravSaha 5 лет назад

This is an awesome mechanism Steve, certainly the most simplistic and convenient way to switch while playing. What is the hardware that it used for dowel tightening adjustment?

@steveregnier7317 4 года назад

Gourav Saha t-bolts and those nuts that dig into the wood

@sideoutside 2 года назад

I know this is old. But tell your buddy to make one with a foot pedal for on off to utilize faster during the groove!

@mikebrinkman71 5 лет назад

Steve, Love the video and ideas. Best on the web for sure. Is it my depth perception issues or is your box deeper than the width? Looks more rectangular than square? Or is it me?

@steveregnier7317 5 лет назад

mike brinkman 12 x 18 and 16 inches deep

@jacolon61 6 лет назад

Very nice....ae you close to NJ and how much to modify mine? I would love to add the snare.

@rickivey3630 4 года назад

I noticed that the screws on the skin don't go all the way to the top. Does the lack of screws all the way around help the sound? Thanks for the video!

@littleiglooprod 4 года назад

Hey Rick Ivey ! yeh the top screws are left out so the corners of the skin will stick up a bit. That way when you hit the top it gives it a nice ‘slap/snap’ when you play ;)

@rickivey3630 4 года назад

@@littleiglooprod Thanks, I'm almost done with my build and I wanted to make sure before I attached the skin.

I assume you have found them already but for people who see this and have the same question: I just bought a snare for a snare drum and cut it in half for this.

@monostereo1000 4 года назад

Hi steve , the snare Does the length have anything to do with the sound?

@steveregnier7317 4 года назад

Wei T it makes a difference how close to the top of the drum the end of the snares reach.... and yes the length also affects it. Shorter is a more milder sound, and too long can make the snares rattle too much... depends what you're looking for in sound.
