This cajon is the wooden acoustic percussion instrument you sit on and play with your hands (pronounced “kah-hone”). It’s sometimes called a beatbox or box drum. The Meinl Percussion Compact Jam Cajon with snares is made in Europe with 100% Baltic birch. Baltic birch has a full, resonant bass note and warm tone. This wood species is also used in high-end drum set construction for players serious about 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, and they give you a crisp tone. A sound port on the rear helps develop bass notes and is a perfect microphone spot. 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 can’t be used, and its compact size is designed to be travel friendly. Measures 10 1/4″ W x 15″ H x 10 1/4″ D (holds adults). The Jam Cajon is made for easy transport and straightforward use so anyone can play it—regardless of skill level or age. No musical experience required. Designed in Germany.
LEARN TO PLAY IN MINUTES: just sit down on it and tap with your hands to explore bass and snare drum sounds; this cajon (box drum) is a perfect instrument for getting the confidence to play percussion with no experience
WHY IT MATTERS: a lot of fun musical adventures don’t require time-consuming practice on a drum set; with the Meinl Jam Cajon, you can play acoustic shows with bands, jam with friends or family, teach students about rhythm, or liven up your worship music
BE SMART: we craft this cajon in Europe from 100% Baltic birch wood, which also used in high-end drum sets for players serious about sound; made with NO cheap, glued-on, plasticky laminates that only look like wood
HOW IT WORKS: the Baltic birch playing surface delivers punchy bass tone with about as much volume as an acoustic guitar, and inside the cajon are two sets of fixed coiled steel snare wires that give you a crisp sound (everything comes fully assembled)
BY THE NUMBERS: it measures 10 1/4″ W x 15″ H x 10 1/4″ D and weighs 6lbs; its compact size is easily portable without shortchanging sound quality, and it’s made to last with a solid frame that supports adults and children
ZOOM IN: a 4″ 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
THE BOTTOM LINE: you can play it anywhere from acoustic shows to outdoor jams to a dorm room; four solid silicone feet on the bottom keep the cajon stable, avoid scratches, and eliminate crazy vibrations on any surface
