Rubber Wood Headliner Series Cajon

  • Rubber wood frontplate
  • Rubber wood resonating body
  • Adjustable top corners
  • Adjustable sizzle effect
  • Anti-slipping sitting surface
  • Matte Finish

Adjustable Sizzle Effect
This Cajon features a built in adjustable sizzle effect. Guitar strings touch the frontplate on the inside and span from top to bottom delivering a sensitive rattle that can be adjusted to fit various musical applications.

Additional Features
This cajon has heavy duty rubber feet for a solid base and an anti-slip sitting surface. The top corners can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the corner screws. This will alter the distance between the top corners of the frontplate and cajon body resulting in the players desired amount of “slap” sound.

The Cajon Today
Percussionist Alex Acuna from Peru was responsible for introducing the cajon into mainstream culture when he, Chick Corea, and Paco de Lucia used it for the “Touchstone” album. In the present day and age, the cajon is used as accompaniment in all forms of music, whether it’s rock, pop, flamenco or any other style. Most of all you’ll find the cajon used as a substitute for the drum set, especially in unplugged situations. The Cajon has everything a drummer needs: the bass, the snare and the slap, all in one instrument!

History of the Cajon
The cajon originated from wooden crates that were used for the purpose of transporting food goods such as flour, fish, meat, vegetables and fruits. The cajon has origins in Cuba and Peru. The lack of drums in Cuba forced poor people to play rhythms on crates. In Peru slaves used food crates as an alternative for drums because they were prohibited from having musical instruments. Using food crates as instruments was an effective way of keeping culture, tradition, and music alive. The cajon was originally used in Afro-Cuban and Afro-Peruvian music.

MEINL Is a Member of the Germany Working Group of the Forest Stewards Council: FSC
The traditional plantation of rubber wood (Hevea brasiliensis Muell.-Arg.) in Thailand meets all ecological requirements. In a natural evolution, new trees are planted and the older ones, which have ceased to provide latex, are harvested. In this way, plenty of raw material is available and the valuable rain forest eco-system is preserved. In addition to rubber wood (Hevea brasiliensis Muell.-Arg.), we also utilize American White Ash (Fraxinus americana L.) which meets all the CITES-regulations set in the “Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.”

Not bad for 100 bucks, December 25, 2009
By 
E.C. “Percussive Blast Guy” (South California) – See all my reviews

This review is from: Meinl Percussion Headliner Series Wood Cajon, Natural Finish (Electronics)
I was a little worried by some of the feedback on this product. One remark was that it had an awful snare sound. Once I received the Cajon, I got the same worrisome sound. I simply tightened the snare wires with the provided allen wrench and the sound turned into a good sound. It’s not a masterpiece of percussion instruments; it’s a somewhat inexpensive mid-quality instrument.

This being my first Cajon, I didn’t want to go all out on a 300/400 dollar instrument. I’m reasonably satisfied with this instrument, and I can’t complain that it’s not louder or more refined in sound. It’s actually a good instrument for the price.

Highly Customizable Instrument for Fat, Personalized Beats, December 26, 2012
By 
Starcadia (Reston, VA USA) – See all my reviews

This review is from: Meinl Percussion Headliner Series Wood Cajon, Natural Finish (Electronics)
I’ve been casually beating on random stuff for 25 years, and have developed a sort of science of, and aptitude for, rhythm. I love taking a mundane object and turning it into an expressive drum. Almost anything works if you can find its individual talent and character. A cardboard box, a sink, a couch, a bottle, a file cabinet, and on and on. I’d been familiar with the cajon for a while, but like with other forms of percussion, I was skeptical that I’d be able to find enough character and variety in it for it to be an all-around instrument that I’d want to play often. Well, let me just say that this thing is really cool.

My girlfriend bought this for me for Christmas. Originally she wanted to buy a more swanky thing from Etsy, but I told her that I only needed something basic and classic. If I can make a cardboard box do special things, then I don’t need an expensive, custom-painted set-piece. So she got me this one. Mind you it’s the only cajon I’ve ever played, but I’ve fallen in love with it. And I LOOOOVE rhythm.

The love didn’t happen immediately, however. Out of the box, the thing had an awful vibration at distinct tones – not a surprise, since the snares inside are made of stretched guitar strings. So I started messing with it. After about a half-hour of fiddling, I realized that if I loosened the two strings, using the supplied allen wrench inside the instrument, to a point where they’re loose but still buzz a little, but at a tone that is too low to recognize, then it actually sounds good (bassy and fat). I actually like a little bit of artifact noise in the bass for character, but you can get rid of it altogether by loosening the strings even more. Mine are currently just above that.

Then by loosening all the screws on the upper front panel a few turns, I was able to get a nice, crisp snare sound as well. I may mess with it some more, and even try “preparing” the drum in interesting ways, but for now it’s a real pleasure, with great sound, and it has a way of inspiring some seriously fat, complex beats. Other improvised surfaces only have up to a few inherent rhythmic capabilities, but this is a bona-fide instrument, and totally customizable, that allows me to fully express myself. It’s a joy, really.

I will say I suspect it may take a little bit of experience with hand rhythm to really be able to appreciate this thing, and to personalize it to a point that it is usable and pleasurable at the same time. It is very basic, but that, along with its good sound, is its major strength, because you can make it what you want it to be. It’s a street instrument, essentially, not a Steinway, and its benefits will scale with your skill and imagination. In other words, if you expect this thing to perform for you, you may be disappointed. If you know how to MAKE it perform for you, you’ll be delighted.

Fabulous Addition To My Percussion Sets…., December 11, 2012
By 
Mister Aloha “Commander Gander” (Kailua Kona, Hawaii) – See all my reviews

Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
This review is from: Meinl Percussion Headliner Series Wood Cajon, Natural Finish (Electronics)
I play in an oldies rock group (50s/60s/70s), and have a huge Ludwig acoustic trap set, along with five Sabian cymbals and one Meinl cymbal. In the past, I had always used the trap set exclusively for playing all of the music with the band. Initially, I bought this cajon primarily for use in church services each Sunday (I am the percussionist for the choir), where it works perfectly: the Meinl quality is obviously there, and the portability factor of being able to easily transport the drum is also a huge plus. Additionally, it is easy to tune, using the enclosed Allen Wrench, which is stored inside the box. However, I have also recently discovered that the cajon is useful for some of the tunes in the rock band, primarily those encompassing a softer or less vibrant beat. All in all, for slightly more than a hundred dollars, you cannot go wrong with this item. Highly recommended.
