There's something magical about creating music with just your hands. The Meinl Percussion Compact Jam Cajon brings that magic to life, offering a portable percussion experience that's incredibly accessible yet deeply satisfying to play.
Crafted from 100% Baltic birch wood—a material favored by professional drummers worldwide—this cajon delivers naturally balanced sound with punchy lows and clear highs. Unlike cheaper alternatives that sound thin or muffled, the Baltic birch construction gives you the rich, complex tones you'd expect from professional percussion. The rear sound port enhances those deep bass frequencies while also serving as a convenient spot for microphone placement when you're ready to amplify your sound.
Two sets of fixed steel snares run across the playing surface, adding that distinctive rattle and crisp tone that makes cajon playing so distinctive. You'll love the way your hands interact with the responsive playing surface—slap it for sharp accents or pat it for warm, resonant tones. Non-slip silicone feet keep the drum stable during energetic playing while maximizing resonance on any surface, from hardwood floors to carpeted rooms.
At just 10.25" wide, 15" tall, and weighing only 6 pounds, this compact cajon fits easily in your car for band practice, in your apartment for late-night jam sessions, or even on the back porch for an impromptu outdoor performance. The travel-friendly design means you can take your musical inspiration with you wherever you go. Best of all? No experience required. Whether you're a seasoned percussionist or just starting your musical journey, the intuitive playing style lets anyone create beautiful rhythms right away.
Backed by a 2-year warranty and crafted in Europe, this isn't just a percussion instrument—it's your invitation to explore the joy of hand drumming. Go ahead, discover the rhythm within you.
