PaddyвЂ™s Irish PercussionВ wasВ recorded in the same studioВ as Dicky DeeganвЂ™s Uilleann Pipes and MichaelaвЂ™s Celtic Harp. The cajГіn in this sample library is a modern instrument and includes drum snare wires stretched across the striking surface to create a buzzing tone.

The instrument is most often played with the hands hitting against the front of the drum which is constructed from a thin sheet of plywoodВ that acts as the drum head. The CajГіn is a boxВ drum that originated in Peru, it is used in many styles of music and has become popular amongВ Irish folkВ musicians. By hittingВ the drum head at different pointsВ and adjusting the position of the hand on the inside of the drum the musician is able to create a variety of tones and timbres. TheВ drum is played with a stick, sometimes called a tipper.
