We created the floating external snare system as a quick way to add snare to a cajon drum.

Although designed to work with our CajonTab line of portable cajon drums, the external snare is a terrific accessory for any cajon.

Installation is simple. Just screw a guitar strap button (included) in to each side of your cajon or CajonTab, approximately two inches back from the tapa.  We recommend placing the buttons in the bottom third section of the drum.  You can place the snare on the tapa and play it at different locations to find the sound you want.  

After the buttons are installed, the snare can be attached via elastic bands and will remain in place with gentle tension. Adding it or removing it takes seconds. 

We highly recommend our snares as a solution for a cajon with either no snare or a weak snare.  Hear and feel the external snare difference yourself!

We offer a 60 day return policy. If you don't like the external snare, send it back to us for a refund. We're confident you are going to love it.

We currently offer 6 different styles:

natural and espresso stained solid poplar frames

and also four different colors of Spectraply frame. Spectraply is a stained birch laminate that creates some beautiful patterns when worked. The poplar snares are $39. Spectraply snares are $49. Orders ship with two guitar strap buttons with screws for installing onto a cajon or similar drum, such as a CajonTab.
