ROCKBOX CAJON DRUMS: Innovation has been the driving force behind the unique sound of Rockbox cajons, honed over 23 years of persistent experimentation. Throughout this journey, I’ve crafted cajons with countless variations—exploring different woods, snare designs, coatings, sizes, and more. Many of these changes were fresh innovations, learning through trial and error. Along the way, mistakes were made, but each one led to refinement, ultimately shaping the distinct Rockbox cajon sound you hear in the videos below.

Phoenix Cajon

hardwood timber snare cajon with handle 2


Phoenix; a long-lived bird that is cyclically regenerated or reborn.
After several reincarnations....... I give you the Phoenix cajon.
Tough, Travel friendly and produces a punch!
It has similarities to a Doumbek in it's responsiveness and compression generated when hit, but this drum has a snare and a more woody organic tone.


Maybe I should call it the WOT drum (woody organic tone)
This drum is also made from sustainable plantation timbers and made to last.
An excellent addition to your percussion collection, hand made in Manly NSW Australia as is all Rockbox drums.
