The Heck Stick produces a nice jingle and is located at good spot on the cajon for easy access. The adjustable Velcro strips work well to adjust the tone and location. For a duo or trio acoustic performance, the sound level is just right. The jingles tent to get drowned out if more instruments (more guitars, bass, more vocals) are added. The Side Kick is also a nice addition. Although it takes a little time to get used to it, the Side Kick clicking sound is very audible for many situations. In other words, the clicking can be soft or very loud to cut through the band when needed. Although the entire unit is a bit pricey for what it is, the construction and quality is excellent. I recommend this add-on to any cajon setup… if you can afford the hefty cost. If not, I’m sure a semi-skilled hobby person can make something similar in the workshop.

Amazing add-on

anyone with a cajon should think about this. Not only does the adjustable dual jingle rod give you a variety of options, the side-kick itself is just deadly.
Very versatile, change your whole approach to the cajon...
