Playing percussion when there is no drum set has its challenges. You "drive the boat" a bunch of the time. Here's a glance at a recent set up for a concert with Dara Maclean (and friends). The instrumentation was two acoustic guitars, one electric guitar, string bass, violin, and percussion (ME!).The cajon was my "go-to" for most of the night but I also used snare drum w/brushes some of the time to hold the groove together. You can see my trusty metronome was right on the near corner of the trap table.
