NO REACH ISSUES: the Meinl Turbo Slaptop Cajon puts the playing surface in your lap so you can play longer without feeling uncomfortable from leaning over; all sounds are right in front of you in a natural position
WHY IT MATTERS: it saves your back if you can't deal with leaning down on a standard cajon; plus, it's easy to get used to if you're a new or casual player (anyone can learn in minutes)
HOW IT WORKS: like a mini drum kit, the mahogany playing surface produces deep bass and crisp snare tones; these sounds vary depending on where you strike with your hands (MIDDLE: bass, LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES: snare)
GO DEEPER: the resonating body has a large forward-facing bass port that projects toward your audience; this gives you fuller low-end tone
ONE TAKEAWAY: the different sounds don't bleed into each other so you have clear separation of notes; this makes your playing more expressive
THE BOTTOM LINE: you can play alongside guitars at acoustic shows, with your praise band, in the studio, or at outdoor jams; the Baltic birch body delivers rich tone and has four silicone feet to keep it protected
BY THE NUMBERS: this turbo size Slaptop Cajon measures 18 1/2" long x 9 1/2" wide x 14 1/4" tall and weighs 8 lbs; its large size has enough volume for any room, and it's about as loud as a traditional cajon
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
These models are designed to bring the striking surface up nearer to the player, for a more upright playing style. The sound projects forward into the audience! The turbo slap top cajons are slightly bigger for more volume and they come with snares on both sides. Here, the snares also feature a forward sound projection.
