Key features
- 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 Cafe 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)
- ONE TAKEAWAY: the Meinl Cafe Cajon measures 12" W x 17¼” H x 12" D and weighs 7 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 (it's the Meinl Jam Cajon's big sibling)
- ZOOM IN: a circular 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
- WHERE WE'VE SEEN IT PLAYED: take it to your campsite, bring on a cross-country road trip or play in the middle of your dorm room; four solid silicone 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

About this product
Sometimes called a beatbox or box drum, this cajon is the wooden acoustic percussion instrument you sit down on and play with your hands (it's pronounced "kah-hone"). The Meinl Percussion Snare Cajon is made in Europe with 100% Baltic birch for full, resonant bass notes and crisp slap tones. Baltic birch is special because of its naturally “EQ’d” tone with punchy low notes, balanced highs and great projection. This wood species is also used extensively in high-end drum set construction for this same reason. To get its super-crisp slap 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. The frontplate (or playing surface) responds well to finger rolls as well as corner slaps and bass hits with your hands, giving you optimal dynamic control. When played toward the center, the resonating body accompanies the playing surface by broadening your bass notes to achieve a deep and punchy sound, reacting much like a kick drum. You’ll find a sound port on the rear side that helps develop bass tone and is a perfect spot for microphone placement. 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 cannot be used. Designed in Germany, Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturing business that was established in Germany in 1951. Our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality.
