Chops Percussion is very excited to announce that world-renowned musician Todd Sucherman will be doing a 3 hour masterclass at our store on Wednesday, April 17th, 2019. The event will begin promptly at 6:30 pm and go until 9:30 pm.

Each person will get a chance to play the drums and get some performance tips from Todd. To have feedback from a musician of this caliber is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so we encourage players of all ages and ability levels to be a part of this special event. Please make sure you bring drumsticks and a practice pad.

The charge per person for this masterclass is $200. There will be a non-refundable deposit of $150 taken the day of sign-up, with the other $50 being due the day of the masterclass. There are only 20 spots available and they’re filling up quickly, so do not wait to reserve your spot!!!

To reserve a spot, please call Chops Percussion at 317-813-2070.  We’re open M-F: 10-6 and Saturday: 10-4.

Take Your Cajon Anywhere with the Viva Rhythm CAJON2GO Cardboard Cajon

Tuesday, December 4, 2018 No Comments

We all know that travelling with a standard Cajon can be awkward. They also take up a lot of storage space in a classroom if you have several for students to use. You can solve both of those issues with the Meinl Viva Rhythm CAJON2GO Cardboard Cajon.

Will it sound as good as a Cajon you spent hundreds of dollars on? No, it won’t. It will, however, be a great-sounding Cajon that is easy to transport, has built-in snare wires, and a deep bass tone. The Cajon is also durable – it will hold up to 330 lbs. The best part is the price – just $19.90* and you’ll have a Cajon that everyone will be asking you about!

We have a few left over from PASIC, so contact us at sales@chopspercussion.com and get one for yourself or your classroom today!
