Couple more ideas. Not really alternatives to drums just variations which might make things more portable and space efficient Cocktail drum kit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzB9s-drzAY Suitcase drum kit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDt3D5WaCPw Quote
rOB Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Just saw this today and thought it was worth posting as an example of cajon & cymbals in a heavier musical context. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1TyWzJpF4M Quote
jimbobothy Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Anyone thought of a Djembe? The amount of different tones you can get out of one of those played well is really ace!! Quote

rOB Posted March 30, 2014 Author Posted March 30, 2014 Saw this today, great playing. Just bass and cajon [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r0AMMEEVro"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r0AMMEEVro[/url] Love the idea of a bass, percussion and vocal band. Quote

Of course, there's always the ukelele.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RylxBtEM0sI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF5HsIpH5qY Quote

[/quote] Hmm, been thinking about this for a while now. Looking forward to getting back to the UK in Sept so I can try it out. Inspired by this thread as well as bands like DFA 1979, Clatter, Lightning Bolt and Royal Blood. At the moment I'm thinking a vocalist (possibly some room for shakers or a tamborine), bass and a cajon player. Does anyone know any bands using a similar setup in a rock setting? Any thoughts on whether it would work? Things to consider? Quote

Probably the most, or at least one of the most versitile hand drums. While playing I also use a foot powered tambourine, wrist bells, shaker, and rainstick in various combinations.
