Retractable Nylon Cajon Drum Brushes — MADE IN USA — For Acoustic Music

Great brushes for my "bass" cajon!! I use one of these brushes often, when performing with my cajon! The plastic bristles make a much better sound on the wooden cajon, than the old fashioned metal brushes, and they slide into the handle, which makes carrying them around for gigs. . . . . perfect!

I got this based on reading the review of others. This not the cheapest, nor is it priced among the top tier brushes for professional percussionists. That suits me as someone who just noodles around with a cajon. It works and appears well made. I got it to use on my cajon which probably would be damaged by wire brushes. It also worked well on the man-made "head" on my banjo. I need to fashion a cushioned or leather carry bag to protect them when not in use. The handles are a tough plastic, but it could be crushed is stepped on or something heavy is unintentionally placed on top of it.

Absolutely the best quality sticks I tried. They're adjustable to bring out different sounds. Very happy with these.

They’re durable and I like them, but they just don’t sound as good to my ears as the metal brushes.

Work fine for my cajon at church. Easy retraction. Creat good tone. Seem pretty durable.

I thought I'd try a set of brushes to get an additional sound on the cajon - they are great! SO MUCH easier on my hands than playing bare-handed. You can still get a good bass thump by using the rubber part, even with the brushes pulled out. I am not likely go to back to playing bare-handed from now on!

These are perfect for shuffle type percussion on the Meinl Cajon. They are lightweight, well balanced, and appear well made. They sound perfect with the Cajon, especially for soft rhythmic beats, and are a nice compliment to using the Cajon hands only. I found that having the adjustable length of the brushes allows for a nice change of sound, including a deepening sound, or even a 'beat' with stick only, especially when targeting the bass section of the Cajon. These bring a nice variety of sound to the Cajun and make a versatile instrument (Cajon) even more versatile, and allow for a pleasant "shuffle" pace sound that goes so nicely with Americana, folk, and country blues music. If you like the "unplugged sound", a la Clapton, these sounds really nice with the Meinl Cajon.

These sound absolutely phenomenal and take the cajon sound to a whole nother dimension... but they are putting dents/scratches on the faceplate of my cajon! I'm pretty bummed because I know they'll shorten the life of my cajon. But when it all comes down to it, they really do make the sound better and more interesting, so I'll still use them. By the way: I managed to reduce the dents by taking felt cable ties and tying them around the top of the white handle. They still scratch a little bit.
