Oh, I've used just about every setup you can think of (I'm a pastor's kid btw)
This is a great setup. There are also setups that can convert a floor tom in to a kick drum and that works nicely as well. Sometimes I get in to the realm of "I'm not a drum set player anymore, just a percussionist looking for colors" in certain situations. If it comes down to cajon work, I prefer a djembe. It feels better, I can put a strap on it, better low end, and better high end. You can also use sticks/brushes/etc on a djembe
