Meinl Percussion Backbeat Bass Cajon for Acoustic Drum Set Grooves - 2-Year Warranty

The Backbeat Bass Cajon from Meinl is an exceptional percussion instrument that delivers a powerful low-end "thump" thanks to its unique ported sound hole design. This innovative feature boosts the lower frequencies, creating a superb kick drum effect that fills the room with deep, resonant bass.

Contrary to the deep bass, the cajon also features micro-coiled steel strings that span the length of the playing surface, providing a crisp, snare-like snap and pop, just like an acoustic drum set. The hex screw on the bottom allows for easy adjustment of the snare sensitivity, enabling you to fine-tune the desired response.

The hardwood playing surface is highly responsive to both soft finger rolls and powerful strikes, providing a wide dynamic range. The sturdy composite body, equipped with silicone feet, resonates fully, ensuring maximum projection and tone, making this cajon an outstanding percussion piece for a variety of settings, from open mic nights and coffeehouse gigs to outdoor jam sessions and houses of worship.

For larger spaces, this cajon can also be used with a microphone to fill the room with its percussive sound. Importantly, the Backbeat Bass Cajon is not made in China, but rather crafted with the expertise of Meinl's German designers, who have a deep relationship with the builders to ensure the highest quality.

The factory-installed ported sound hole is a key feature, as it provides extra-deep bass that truly moves people and music. This is particularly beneficial for quieter acoustic gigs, where the cajon's volume range is perfectly suited.

Looking inside the cajon, you'll find two sets of adjustable micro-coiled steel strings that deliver the crisp snare sound. Meinl includes a hex key, allowing you to easily adjust the string tension screws on the bottom of the cajon to fine-tune the snare response.

The beautiful hardwood playing surface not only responds beautifully to soft dynamics but also packs a powerful punch at louder volumes. The sturdy modern composite body resonates with full projection and a warm tone, ensuring the cajon's sound is both rich and versatile.

The permanently secured port design ensures the biggest bass sound possible, without interfering with microphones or requiring any adjustments. Measuring 11 3/4" W x 19 1/2" H x 11 3/4" D and weighing 11 lbs, this cajon is the perfect size for a wide range of musical settings.

Whether you're playing alongside guitars at acoustic shows, with worship music, in the studio, or at outdoor jams, the Backbeat Bass Cajon from Meinl delivers. The four solid silicone feet keep the cajon stable, prevent scratches, and eliminate unwanted vibrations on any surface.

Meinl, a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established in Germany in 1951, has a reputation for excellence. Their expert German designers have deep relationships with the builders to ensure the delivery of the absolute finest quality instruments, like the Backbeat Bass Cajon, to their customers.
