How can I make my Cajon sound better?
If you have a Cajon whose tapa is attached using screws, you could try loosening the topmost screws on each corner. This will create a tiny space between the tapa and the core shell of the Cajon. Therefore, when you slap the tapa, it will hit the shell and produce a much better slap tone.
Can you hit a Cajon with drumsticks?
Using the Cajon drumsticks is convenient because they can be kept in the saddle pockets for easy reach. So you can have a creative performance combining the use of your hands and drumsticks to beat the Cajon.
