Sela SE-035

The Sela SE-035 Cajon Brush 180 is a cajon brush that allows you to expand your cajon’s sonic possibilities with powerful bass tones, bright accents, and subtle brush sounds. These brushes were developed in collaboration with Sela artists and feature 180 nylon rods per brush, a solid maple handle, and two adjustable rubber rings. This allows you to adjust the flexibility and firmness of the brushes to suit your playing style. Thanks to their slightly heavier weight, the Sela Cajon Brushes deliver more punch and a clearer bass response than many traditional brushes. This makes the Brush 180 suitable for both powerful rhythms and softer percussion techniques.

Powerful bass response and direct attack
The Sela Cajon Brush 180 was developed for percussionists who want to get more out of their cajon. While traditional brushes are primarily used for soft, sweeping playing techniques, this model also allows you to play powerful bass accents. Due to their slightly higher weight, the brushes deliver a punchier response on the playing surface. This creates a fuller bass response, while the nylon rods retain sufficient flexibility for subtle percussion patterns. The combination of bass response and control makes the Brush 180 suitable for acoustic pop, jazz, singer-songwriter, Latin, and other musical styles where both dynamics and a clear rhythmic foundation are important.

180 nylon rods for a variety of tones
Each Sela Cajon Brush 180 features 180 nylon rods. These are flexible at the tips and gradually become stiffer toward the handle. This allows the tone to vary depending on the angle of strike and the amount of force you apply. When you move the brushes lightly across the playing surface, you create a soft brush sound. With a more direct strike, you produce a more powerful sound with greater emphasis on the bass and percussive accents. By changing the angle of the brushes, you can control how many rods make contact with the playing surface at the same time. This allows you to vary between broad, soft sounds and focused strokes with a clearer attack. Compared to the Sela Cajon Brush 110, the Brush 180 features more nylon rods, which alters the feel of contact with the playing surface and opens up additional sound possibilities.

Two adjustable rubber rings
A key feature of the Sela Cajon Brush 180 is its two adjustable rubberrings. These allow you to control how much freedom of movement the nylon rods have and adjust the firmness of the brush. When you slide the rings toward the ends of the rods, the free section becomes shorter. As a result, the brush responds more firmly and directly, which is suitable for powerful bass accents and rhythms with a distinct attack. If you slide the rings further toward the handle, the nylon rods have more room to move. This results in a more flexible response that better suits traditional brush techniques and subtle percussion patterns. Thanks to these adjustment options, you can adapt the brushes to different playing techniques without having to switch models.

Solid maple handle with extra grip
The Sela Cajon Brush 180 features a handle made ofsolid maple. This material ensures a sturdy construction and a well-balanced playing feel. The handle features a rubber coating that provides extra grip. This allows you to hold the brushes with control, even during faster rhythms and more powerful strokes. The combination of the wooden handle, the nylon rods, and the slightly heavier weight ensures a direct transfer of the strike to the playing surface. This gives you control over both powerful bass rhythms and subtle percussive accents.

Bottom Cap for Additional Percussion Techniques
In addition to the nylon rods, the Sela Cajon Brush 180 features a special Bottom Cap on the back of the handle. This can be used to create additional percussion sounds. By striking the playing surface with the back of the brush, you produce a different sound than with the nylon rods. This allows you to add short, direct accents to your rhythms or alternate between different playing techniques. The Bottom Cap thus complements the adjustable rods and expands the possibilities for using different timbres within a single rhythm.

Also suitable for other percussion instruments
Although the Sela Cajon Brush 180 was specifically developed for cajons, you can also use these brushes on other percussion instruments, including frame drums and tambourines. The nylon rods offer a different tonal response than traditional drumsticks and allow you to combine various playing techniques. This enables you to vary between soft brush sounds and clearer rhythmic accents on other percussion instruments as well. With a length of approximately 35 cm, the brushes offer sufficient reach for various playing techniques. Their adjustable firmness and sturdy handles make them suitable for use during rehearsals, studio recordings, and live performances.
