Available in seven languages (English, German, French, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, and Spanish), the Drum Book is an easy-to-follow guide on how to set up the cajons and includes lesson plans on how to use the NINO Cajon System in a classroom setting. The notation system consists of five basic symbols, each representing a different sound or action.
