This Meinl Percussion Headliner Series Snare Cajon is made with an American White Ash frontplate for resonant bass notes, crisp snare and a warm tone. Plus, the exquisite wood grain pattern looks great on stage and comes in multiple finish options. Two internal sets of snares are fixed against the playing surface for a crisp sound, and they’re positioned to give you a sensitive response every time. When played toward the center, the durable modern composite resonating body reflects your bass notes for a deep and punchy sound, reacting much like a kick drum. Non-slip rubber feet allow the body to resonate to its fullest while providing stability on any surface, indoors or outside. This instrument is ideal for acoustic gigs where a full drum kit would be too much. Designed in Germany, 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. Cajon measurements: 11 3/4" W x 18" H x 11 3/4" D.

About this item

• DREAM FOR DRUMMERS: it takes no time to set up, and you get the same kick and snare sounds as a drum set at a fraction of the volume; play with your hands toward the center to get the deepest tone and near the top corners for crisp snare effects
• WHY IT MATTERS: a lot of musical settings don't allow for the space or volume level of full drums; with the Meinl Headliner Cajon, you can engage fully during acoustic shows with your band, jam sessions, or with your praise band without taking over
• REALITY CHECK: the playing surface is 100% American white ash wood, and it delivers clear sound full of warm mids, crisp highs and deep low-end tone; most companies make cajons with cheap, glued-on, plasticky laminates that only look like wood
• HOW IT WORKS: the ash wood playing surface delivers punchy bass 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 pop (everything comes fully assembled)
• ZOOM IN: the resonating body is built with modern composite because this material naturally reflects sound instead of absorbing; it gives you a tone that cuts so your notes come through with more clarity, plus, it's extra durable for regular touring
• BY THE NUMBERS: the Meinl Headliner Cajon measures 11 3/4" W x 18" H x 11 3/4" D and weighs 10 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
• WHERE WE'VE SEEN IT PLAYED: take it to your campsite, bring to open mic night or play in the middle of your living room; four solid rubber feet on the bottom keep the cajon stable, avoid scratches, and eliminate crazy vibrations on any surface
• 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
