Now choose between five sounds
The new range, called Live Series, will feature Ruach Music's patented design, which allows you to choose between five sounds with a grip of the handle and a simple twist. Each sound is held consistent by the snare lock.

Internal bass pedal system
The new Live cajon also contains an internal bass pedal which allows the user to be more creative with their music.

By simply using your heel, this pedal engages a beater from inside the cajon and provides the user with a deep bass note, imitating a kick pedal on an acoustic drum kit.

Aluminium frame
The upcoming flagship cajon will also feature an aluminium frame to make sure it endures gig after gig. The solid structure helps to support the weight of the user and the demands of live gigs, whilst hosting the mechanisms that make this drum excel in the current market place.

Detachable handles
Last but not least, players can change the position of the handles to suit their playing style or detach handles for ease of transport. This is done by using a 4mm allen key (stored inside the cajon) to slide the handle out, leaving a flush surface.

About Ruach Music
Back in 2011 as a 16-year-old, Stephen Henderson began making cajons. It wouldn't take long before artists like Mumford & Sons discovered Stephen's instrument.

So Stephen decided to set up his own firm, Ruach Music, and manufacture the instruments on a bigger scale. Already Stephen has manufactured and sold over 400 instruments. He now plands to massively upscale his output via the kickstarter campaign which runs up to August 21. Explains Stephen:

"To get this new product into production and onto the market, it is going to take a lot more than a few pound coins found on the floor of my car. If the project is successful, I will order the parts for 150 units. As there are a great deal of parts to be assembled, these can be quite expensive; in order to get the cost down, the order size needs to increase. This size of order will enable me to launch the product line and start selling to shops and percussionists that are actively waiting for this drum to come onto the market."

Stephen already manufactured prototypes in partnership with an engineering firm to ensure his designs were feasible, and they were. These finalised designs are now ready for production.

You can back this project with a minimum of £5. Pledge £80 or more and you'll receive the MK1, the first model cajon Ruach Music released. For £270 or more you'll be the first to receive the new Live Series Cajon with cherry finish. Estimated delivery is November 2014. Go check out the campaign on kickstarter.com.
