Hey there!
I play guitar & vocals in a folk band & we don't have a drummer, we just stomp on things.
I'm currently using a modified floor tom as a kick.
Long story short I have a couple of questions:
1. I play standing up & find using my heel much more comfortable / sustainable / accurate than using my toes. But I want the drums in front of me. I found this http://www.schlagwerk.com/products/cajon-add-ons/cajon-pedal/ & it looks like an ideal solution but they don't appear to import to Australia. Does anyone know an alternative to this product or how I can import a couple? ("Two" you ask? Yes two, which brings me to my second question...
2. I plan on using the second pedal on one of these micro snares http://www.zzounds.com/item--LBLLP846SN using my other heel. I know this technique works well (for simple beats it's just a matter of marching in time with the song which feels very natural) But my question is regarding replacing the beater of the kick pedal with a brush or hot rod to achieve a more mellow sound. Is there a product like this I can buy? ie. a brush attachment for a kick pedal? Or will I need to fashion something?
I appreciate any advice!
