I've gotta agree with the cajon, I built one and I play it at church. It's a beautiful sound and I've put a pair of tambourine cymbals on the front with a wingnut so you can adjust whether it's on or not, it's also quite easy to add another snare (guitar strings etc) as the tapa (the front) is screwed on. I don't play it much anymore as I play bass, so I'd be willing to sell it if anyone's interested.
