Expand the Sound of Your Cajon

The cajon is one of the most versatile percussion instruments, and the right mallets or brushes can unlock even more tonal possibilities. From deep, powerful bass notes to crisp, articulate slaps and subtle textures, mallets and brushes give players greater control over dynamics and sound colour—perfect for acoustic sets, studio work, and live performance.

Cajon Mallets

Mallets bring weight and power to your playing. Soft foam heads enhance bass response, while smaller or harder heads provide more definition and clarity. Double-ended mallets offer flexibility for fast dynamic changes, and shaker mallets even blend in extra rhythmic textures without additional effort.

Cajon Brushes

Brushes are ideal for players who want subtlety and nuance. Flexible bristles deliver smooth sweeps and delicate slaps, while hybrid designs with foam pads add extra low-end punch. They’re perfect for jazz, singer-songwriter, or acoustic settings where lower volume and more tonal variety are required.
