Product details
- THE TAKEAWAY: this is a solid, European made full-size cajon that has punchy bass and crisp snare; play anywhere from acoustic shows to outdoor jams to a dorm room; great for all skill levels.
- HAS SNARES: inside the cajon are two sets of fixed steel snare wires that give you a crisp tone for more range of sound; they're fixed into position for the best response.
- LOOKING UNDERNEATH: four silicone feet keep the cajon stable on any surface (wood, laminate, carpet, brick, concrete); these feet protect the cajon while eliminating vibrations to preserve its crystal-clear sound.
- BY THE NUMBERS: the Meinl Cafe Cajon measures 12" W x 171⁄4” H x 12" D and weighs 7 lbs; its full size has enough volume for any room, and it's made to last with a solid frame that supports adults and children (it's the Meinl Jam Cajon's big sibling).
- OF NOTE: a port is cut into the back of the cajon for air to escape as you play, producing a richer tone; it also lets your beats project more and is a great microphone spot if needed.
- LEARN TO PLAY IN MINUTES: this cajon (box drum) is a perfect instrument for getting the confidence to play percussion with no experience; just sit down on it and tap with your hands to produce bass and snare drum sounds.
- WHY IT MATTERS: a lot of fun musical adventures don't require time-consuming practice on a complicated instrument; with the Meinl Cafe Cajon, you can play acoustic shows, jam with friends or family, teach students about rhythm, or play with worship teams.
Sometimes called a beatbox or box drum, this cajon is the wooden acoustic percussion instrument you sit down on and play with your hands (it's pronounced "kah-hone"). Baltic birch is special because of its naturally “EQ’d” tone with punchy low notes, balanced highs and great projection. This wood species is also used extensively in high-end drum set construction for this same reason. To get its super-crisp slap sound, inside are two sets of coiled steel snare wires fitted against the playing surface. These are the same type of snares found on snare drums. The frontplate (or playing surface) responds well to finger rolls as well as corner slaps and bass hits with your hands, giving you optimal dynamic control.
When played toward the center, the resonating body accompanies the playing surface by broadening your bass notes to achieve a deep and punchy sound, reacting much like a kick drum. You’ll find a sound port on the rear side that helps develop bass tone and is a perfect spot for microphone placement. Non-slip silicone feet allow the body to resonate to its fullest while providing stability. This instrument is ideal for acoustic gigs when a full drum kit cannot be used. Designed in Germany, Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturing business that was established in Germany in 1951. Our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality.
