Germany and Europe:

Steve Jansen - Drummer/Percussionist with Japan, David Sylvian, Rain Tree Crow, Jansen/Barbieri/Karn, London, UK (pictured on the right): “When I came across the POPercussion cajon I knew that I could stretch some boundaries with this box. It evokes a different type of performance as it's unlike any other hand percussion instrument. Apart from effectively interpreting the sonic dynamics of a drum kit by coupling a punchy bass tone along with a wood snare effect, one can equally create more ethnic sounds in a variety of ways. And with microphone positioning, the use of soft beaters, wire brushes or other 'implements' the dynamic will shift. In the studio, I like to experiment with sound design and the cajon lends itself greatly to this, ranging from pure, intimate human touch to lo-fi weirdness.And if you ever need something 'hands on' to pan out new ideas in the control room, nothing's better than having the cajon to hand.”
