The story of the Cajon
begins centuries ago when African slaves were brought to the Spanish colony of
Peru. The slaves, forbidden to use their traditional instruments, were forced
to play tables, spoons, chairs, and other household items. The Cajon is the modern
descendent of an instrument made from a simple Fish wooden box.
The Cajon is box-shaped, standing about eighteen inches
tall and approximately ten inches deep. The frame of the drum is made of
hardwood, with a thinner piece of plywood used for the front cover. The back or
side of the Cajon has an open circle cut in it, coincidently about the same
size as the hole on your average bass drum head. The musician sits on the
Cajon, and hits the instrument with his or her hands. In traditional Peruvian
performance, the musician alternates two strokes to the center of the drum with
various other rhythmic variations.

Now the Cajon drum has come
a long way from a Cod fish box.They make them Rounded ,Amplified,Acrylic,all
sort of colors and even padded. This kind of sounds like a fish story ,Just watching someone playing this layed back sort of drum may look easy ,but give it a shot!

Well now that I have Had my website up for about 10 months now and have been selling my share my share of all sorts of Hand Drum, Congas,Bongos,Djembe and Cajon and I do have to say the feedback on the Tycoon line of hand Drums have been overwhelming ,The people that I have spoken to take have bought the Tycoon Conga Master Platinum Sunrise Series are Dazzled by their quality and Brilliance and the fact that they come with a free stand helps the pocket out.
One of the best deals on my website is the Tycoon Supremo Natural Congas these double drum set come with its’ own stand and is quite the deal you are all set up and ready to go.Tycoon also has a large selection of Cajon Drums from the Acrylic, Amplified and Angled ,these were about the biggest seller an my wesite. Almost forgot the Bongos and Djembes,what a great selection they have and fine quality .So If you are going shopping with some of your Christmas money next month don’t count out that company that not to many people know about but probably make more Drum then any of the rest ,Tycoon.

Happy Shopping!

I definitely agree about fiberglass being more durable but I like to polish my conga and wood just ages better coz of that. I think if congas where shoes the wooden ones would be nice leather shoes and fiberglass congas would be boots or sneakers
