Origin The GigPig was born out of the Cajon – a Latin percussion instrument, made from a wooden box, which is played with the hands while sitting on top. Cajon is Spanish and means box. GigPig, however, has merged the box playing concept with the design and playing style of a modern drum set.
The Drums Each GigPig drum set is a finely crafted instrument consisting of specially sized resonance chambers inside a birch cabinet. The chambers are sized to provide the optimum tone for each drum.
Maple shells are seated into receiving grooves on the box. The grooves are precisely cut for each size of drum. Quality heads are then installed with heavy duty 2.3 mm chromed steel hoops.
Hardware All hardware for GigPig drum sets is deg drum sets is designed to support the highly compact and portable nature of the instrument.
The bass drum and high hat pedals are attached directly to the box - as are all mechanisms. The pedals are cleverly hinged so that they can be quickly folded up and out of the way for easy transport.
