Ever since we created the Index Snare, we've been asked when we're going to build the Cajon Kit.

This is it.

These heads turn your drums into cajons, and can be played with the sticks you already own. Brushes and specialty cajon sticks open up the possibilities, and adding a wooden bass head really ties the whole kit together. Mounting is simple and takes under 3 minutes per drum. It's completely reversible and won't hurt your kit; you’re literally just changing the heads. Try them on the reso side for timpani tones and round sounds.

We make them in two thicknesses:

• The 100 is thinner (.1 inch thick) and a little more responsive

• The 125 is thicker (.125 inches thick) and a little more durable with thicker face plies.

We call them Forest King 100s and 125s because they're 100mil and 125mil thick, where the traditional head is closer to 10mil. This thickness makes your shells sing in a way you've never heard before, and if used on the reso heads, your toms and bass take on a rich roundness and responsiveness. Like any drumhead, they can break, but this is really only a concern if you're using standard sticks, and even then they're pretty durable. These aren't meant to rock out on, but you goofballs crack your hats so who am I to say what you shouldn’t do.

The 100s are available from 8" to 22". They're made from 3-ply Luan, which has a randomly occurring spalted mineral stripe on the face, making each head unique.

The 125s are available from 8" to 16” and they're made from 3-ply Birch.

So far, we've been able to mount the heads on all snares and toms without any trouble. They sit inside of metal triple-flange hoops and sit flush with the edge of wood hoops.

Due to the nature of the mount (no drop around the rim), your tension rods might be a tiny bit short. This happens like 1 out of 100 drums, but reach out if it happens to you and I’ll either ship you new rods or refund or venmo you some $ to buy longer rods.
