West African Rhythms on the Hybrid Lap Bongo Cajon

Matt Benjamin from Tribal Sound Journey test-drives the new Small Drum Revolution, Hybrid Lap Bongo Cajon, playing his take on West African-style rhythms. We were both shocked by the onslaught of power he extracted from applying his playing style. Huge slaps, distinct tonal separation and strong harmonics that exceeded our perception of what should be possible from such a small and lightweight instrument. I thought it would be adaptable to different styles, but I had no idea just how proficient and versatile it would be...
