Here's a wild idea:  combine various sized CAJONS into a fully functioning drum set.  That's exactly what the folks at German-based Schlagwerk Cajons did at this year's NAMM convention.  Cigar Box Nation's owner, Ben "C. B. Gitty" Baker filmed this quick demo.

Have you ever created wood drums?  Post pics and links in the comments.

Cool!

I thought about making a whole set of box drums last month. I'm going to make one in the near future if I get a chance.

Some assembly required.Haha

Lot of thought went in to that, wish there had been more playing in the vid to see how it sounded.

Shane,

I made a couple wooden tounge drums and a Cajon.  They are quite fun to play

Those look nice.

Sounds good. Like the YAMOOHA logo.

I have a bass drum and 2 toms that need new skins/heads. Thought about putting a Cedar head on them with some piezos through a acoustic amp. The hardware is the hardest part to make without making things look clunky.

THAT'S GREAT!!! I'VE BEEN PROCRASTINATING PUTTING TOGETHER SOME POTS, PANS, BUCKETS AND WHATEVER ELSE I CAN FIND FOR A PERCUSSION SET, I LIKE THIS!!!

See attached, a standard Cajon and a lap Cajon

Those are nice.
