Meinl Cajon Box Drum with Internal Snares,MADE IN EUROPE

Description

Meinl Cajon Box Drum with Internal Snares — MADE IN EUROPE — Baltic Birch Wood Compact Size
Create drum set grooves with bass and snare notes using your hands — the wood playing surface has two zones for bass and snare — play with your hands toward the center for deep bass or strike near the top corners with your fingers for crisp snare sounds
Perfect for acoustic shows and jam sessions — the birch jam cajon is the perfect grab-and-go percussion instrument for singers/songwriter circles, spontaneous jam sessions, accompanying guitarists and supporting acoustic bands in coffee house settings
Internal snares — dual sets of internal fixed snare wires are positioned against the inside of the playing surface to give you the same effect as a snare drum — these snare wires are held in place with a thin mesh strap that leaves the tone unaltered
Made in Europe (light brown finish) — constructed with 100% Baltic birch wood, a wood type commonly found in high end drum set construction for its superb natural acoustic qualities that give you plenty of definition with deep bass and cutting high tones
Compact size — measuring 10 1/4" wide x 15" tall x 10 1/4" deep, the jam cajon is compact for easy transport and straightforward use so that anyone can sit down and play this instrument, regardless of skill level or age
Rear port for microphone placement — when amplification is needed, the best spot to place a microphone is at the rear port of this Cajon – this circular cutout also enhances low end bass by letting air escape the instrument as you play it

How to play drum set beats with the Meinl Jam Cajon
It's pronounced "ka-HONE" (and while we're at it, you say Meinl like "MINE-ull").
You're now halfway to playing your first groove on this cajon. The rest is all about hand placement.
If you're booking coffeehouses, playing houses of worship, heading out to an open mic night or ALWAYS up for a casual jam session, it's a sure bet that lower volume percussion is going to save everyone's ears.
And cajons are
the
solution
for laying down grooves that fit the mix of these situations.
Time to play
Sitting down on the cajon with the playing surface between your legs (the one with our logo on it), reach down and strike toward the center of it with your whole hand.
That punchy, low note thud you hear will be your bass zone. Hard to forget.
Moving your hands closer to the top corners, strike the surface in a slapping motion using only the length of your fingers for a cracking snare drum sound.
Combine the two motions
any way you want
to create grooves.
Anyone can do this—regardless of skill.
