Description
DREAM FOR DRUMMERS: make your own low volume acoustic cajon setup and play it like a drum kit; it takes minimal time to set up, and you get the same effect as playing a kick drum while being able to attach cymbals and percussion accessories.WHY IT MATTERS: a lot of times you can't bring your full kit to a gig but you don't want to lose the feel of playing a drum set; now you can get the same feel with the same amount of space and volume as a standard cajon.HOW IT WORKS: mounted on the cajon are two attachments—one cymbal arm and one Z-shape percussion rod to add whatever you want; also attached are a durable metal baseplate to secure your pedal and a beater striking surface to deliver punchier low-end.COMES WITH BEATER: included is the Meinl Soft Foam Cajon Beater (model no. CPB4); this beater will work with any bass drum pedal (pedal not included).REALITY CHECK: we craft this cajon in Europe from 100% Baltic birch wood, which is widely used in high-end drum set construction for players serious about sound; most companies make cajons with cheap, glued-on, plasticky laminates that only look like wood.ONE TAKEAWAY: the cajon is made without snares or coiled metal cajon strings so get pure kick drum sound; if you want a crisp backbeat, use the Z-shape rod to attach the Meinl Cajon Snare (sold separately) or any other mountable snare accessory.BY THE NUMBERS: the Meinl Kick Drum Cajon measures 11 3/4" W x 19 3/4" H x 11 3/4" D; its full size has enough volume for any room, and it's made to last with a solid frame that supports the weight of cymbals and percussion instruments.THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality
