James Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I am curious to what people are using for a small set up. I have used a cajon with a towel draped over it for a bass (set a kick pedal up and hope it doesn’t run to far away), a snare, hats, and one ride. Has anyone used something similar? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I started off playing ‘Shine Jesus Shine’ with a cheap crash ride, and a marching snare drum, with no bass drum. Fortunately, my brother was good at covering the rhythm with his left hand so we had it covered ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
