Custom Cajons

Each drum I build is made by hand, one at a time, right here in my shop.
If you have an idea—whether it's a specific look, feel, or tone—I’ll work with you to bring it to life. Some people want special wood. Some want a unique sound. Some just want something that’s truly theirs. That’s what I build.

Every custom cajón starts with a conversation.

Some people come to me with a clear idea—specific tonewoods, a visual they want to match, or a sound they’re chasing. Others just know they want something that’s theirs. Either way, that’s where the build begins.

Here’s what we can talk through:

  • The wood you want—and how it affects tone

  • The overall feel: dark, bright, tight, resonant, punchy

  • The look: clean contrast, deep figure, subtle grain

  • Dimensions, snare feel, seat options

  • Matching percussion like claves or stomps

What matters to me is that the drum fits you—visually, acoustically, and personally.

                    

Let’s build something together.
If you’ve got a vision—or even just a few ideas—reach out. You don’t have to know exactly what you want. That’s what the conversation is for.
