Re: Cajon fatigue?
I have a couple and they are quite versatile (e.g. I sometimes play them with brushes) but they should not be overused (e.g. not every song needs a cowbell).

Re: Calling all Round Badgers !
Have you checked the prices at Maxwell's Vintage Drums? You can get an idea of the range of Round Badge prices from his website ($1500 - $6000).

Re: Drummers Who Write Songs

Re: Musikmesse 2013 pics
Loved the photos. Glad to see more and more innovation and craftsmanship in drums, cymbals, hardware, etc. If I was there, my credit card bill for the month would have been enormous!
