I thought as much. I know I am right. I always am 😉

Thanks Mr Sin.
I'm kinda right too though:

"Cuban box drums are known as Cajón (ka hōn), the Spanish word for "box" and in some cases "drawer." In Cuban music it refers to a set of wooden box drums originally used to play Rumba Yambu and now incorporated into many other styles. ...

The bass cajon is large enough to sit on and is played with the palm, fist and fingers. It was originally a crate from shipping cod fish in Havana."



see? just a box. no duct tape though. 🙂

obviously home made, I can see the staples used to piece it together, just plywood in that wedge shape, mike may or may not be inside. I don't see wires so it probably just is not miked.
