Etsy - Drum Brooms sold by JKingPercussion.

So I wanted to get some brushes for cajon.
I didn't want to use metal brushes and scratch the cajon face. Nylon wasn't the sound I was looking for.

I had been exploring Etsy and found these Natural S. African Grass Drum Brooms sold by JKingPercussion.

Love the brooms! Quality workmanship. Great sound.

They're heavier than I thought they'd be, but that's good! The extra weight seems to bring out the bass more and the broom grass has a really nice sound when "stirring". 
I have not tried them on djembe yet.

5 stars and I highly recommend them

"BEST VARITONE EVER"

So I bought one of these from CertainBass on ebay.

With my Ibenez Soundgear 480, I didn't notice any change in the tone.
I emailed Dave about this & he said

"sometimes they work funny with active electronics, sometimes it's OK. It's possible to install it in an active bass before the preamp circuitry. I have two protoypes of active varitone pedals that will handle any kind of input, and it's even strong enough to push a raw power amp."

He offered to take this varitone back & sell me a prototype for cost. Nice guy!

So I tried my TL Martinson through it, kick ass! The Martinson is passive and only has volume-tone knobs. Growling like a pissed off rottweiler!

I plan to get a blank rack panel & mount this on it so it can be in my rack permanently.
