Meinl Percussion Cajon Box Drum for Acoustic Music - MADE in EUROPE - Baltic Birch Wood

The Meinl Percussion Compact Jam Cajon with snares is a wooden acoustic percussion instrument that you sit on and play with your hands (pronounced "kah-hone"). It's sometimes called a beatbox or box drum. This cajon is made in Europe with 100% Baltic birch, a wood species also used in high-end drum set construction for players serious about sound. Baltic birch has a full, resonant bass note and warm tone.

Inside the cajon are two sets of coiled steel snare wires fitted against the playing surface, the same type of snares found on snare drums, which give you a crisp tone. A 4-inch 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 on any surface.

This compact, travel-friendly instrument is ideal for acoustic gigs when a full drum kit can't be used. Measuring 10 1/4" W x 15" H x 10 1/4" D and weighing 6 lbs, the Jam Cajon is designed for easy transport and straightforward use, so anyone can play it—regardless of skill level or age. No musical experience is required.

The Jam Cajon is a perfect instrument for getting the confidence to play percussion with no experience; you simply sit down on it and tap with your hands to produce bass and snare drum sounds. It's a great option for a lot of fun musical adventures that don't require time-consuming practice on a complicated instrument. You can play acoustic shows, jam with friends or family, teach students about rhythm, or play with worship teams.

We craft this cajon in Europe from 100% Baltic birch wood, which is also used in high-end drum sets for players serious about sound. It's made with no cheap, glued-on, plasticky laminates that only look like wood. The four silicone feet keep the cajon stable on any surface, protecting it while eliminating vibrations to preserve its crystal-clear sound.

In summary, the Meinl Percussion Compact Jam Cajon with snares is a solid, European-made compact cajon that has punchy bass and crisp snare. It can be played anywhere from acoustic shows to outdoor jams to a dorm room, making it a great choice for all skill levels.
