Johnny Brooke of Crafted Workshop has created a great step-by-step lesson on building your own snare cajon drum. The project was made with mostly scrap material and common snares from a snare drum. We have a parts list below and a link to detailed photos.

This is a great project for adding a unique sound to your drum kit, and would also make a great gift for kids interested in music. This wood snare drum is modeled after a cajon, a traditional Latin percussion instrument. Enjoy!
