GON BOPS & DANIEL DE LOS REYES COLLABORATE ON DDLR CAJON
When Gon Bops artist Daniel de los Reyes approached the percussion manufacturer to build the perfect cajon for his Zac Brown Band gig, it was a challenge the company was up for.
“Although we offer an extensive line of cajons, Danny felt we were missing an instrument with the warm, organic, rootsy tones to complement his country music gig with Zac Brown in both sound and appearance,” explains Gon Bops Brand Manager Luis Cardoso.
The result speaks for itself – Gon Bops’ latest cajon offering is the DDLR Cajon, crafted from choice poplar wood selected for its warm resonance, and internal wires perfectly positioned to deliver rootsysounding snare sounds.
“I always loved the Gon Bops Flamenco cajon, but for my current gig it’s just a little too bright, a little too present at the top range,” comments Daniel de los Reyes. “But using it as our template, we went back to the drawing board and essentially tuned it down.”
The Gon Bops Daniel de los Reyes Signature Cajon (#CJDR) will be available to ship in January 2016.
