Bing, "Cajon"

And I doubt those are loops on that particular recording, likely a live player.

The Cajon is a wonderful thing to have in the home studio.

As well as many other hand percussion instruments, various tambourines, triangles, finger cymbals, larger cymbals, both sticks and soft mallets, any of the handheld Latin Percussion instruments, bell trees, cowbells, Kalimbas, Bongos, etc. etc.

Of course, Loops of just about all of 'em are also available, too.

Studying the sound of percussion instruments is where this really starts, one can't pick and choose properly without a knowledge of them and recorded examples showing how they are best put to use.
