Badly Tapped Box
After decades of tapping along on the table top to bands and DJs (badly) I acquired a particular type of box to tap on. After a few visits to local open mics Badly Tapped Box was born. Balding, in his 50's and happy to tap along to almost anything this website will link you to the musical projects who tolerate a Badly Tapped Box.

The Box, what is it? Well there's not that many of these about, but playing a traditional cajon meant spending hours sitting with a bent back, not ideal with dodgy discs. So a Meinl Slaptop Cajon became the box of choice for tapping badly upon. Generally it's the "Turbo Pickup" varient, although a more basic fully acoustic version sometimes gets an outing.

Of course there's more to life than tapping on a box. Hitting things with sticks is also fun, so BTB has taken up drumming too.
