Meinl PercussionRetractable Nylon Cajon Drum Brushes — Made in USA — for Acoustic Music (CB2)

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 great for my portable cajon. I like that they retract as they can be easily stored. They are not something I will use often but at this price and convenience, they are a good value.

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

These are great. Got them yesterday and they’re good brushes for cajon. I wanted to address people that are marking the face of their cajon: you WILL mark the face of your cajon over time if you hit it with the edge of the plastic sheath. Just by the nature of the angle you play the cajon, it’s easy to make contact this way. Either you angle the cajon back (which is a common playing stance) or you lean a bit forward to adjust. Otherwise, I honestly can’t imagine you’d do alot of damage/anything beyond normal wear and tear.

My Drummer is a professional and he picked these out for me to order for him.

kinda hard to pull out, & definetly hard to retract quickly.not sure if im gonna keep them

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.

Not as dramatically useful as the Vater VCS brushes, but bring a lot of value on their own. I have used these for creating lighter/treble type of effects, like emulating shakers and high sounding snares. Definitely a very good addition to your cajon arsenal. The variable length on these makes for some combinations but to be honest I use them almost exclusively at the full length. Note it takes a bit of practice to avoid hitting the cajon with the end, but these are soft enough that the are unlikely to damage your cajon surface.
