Cajons

Part percussion, part chair! The cajon is a Peruvian, box-shaped percussion instrument popular for its rhythmic textures.

It is performed by slapping the front and side faces with fingers or palms. With clear projection, sharp snaps and deep bass tones, they provide a fully portable percussion experience. Perfect for busking or unplugged gigs. All Gear4music purchases include a two-year warranty.

About Cajons

The Cajon Drum is a simple instrument with a complex sound. Some people believe that the Cajon originates from the use of shipping crates as improvised percussion instruments. From these humble beginnings the Cajon is now a hugely popular instrument found in many different types of music.

The Cajon makes different sounds depending on where and how it is struck - everything from a deep bass sound to a sharp snare effect. Whether it is providing the entire rhythm section or acting as part of a wider ensemble the Cajon is a powerful instrument in the hands of both beginners and experts.

For the Cajon players there are no rules. A beginner can easily coax out a good rhythm from the drum but in the hands of an expert the Cajon produces a rich, resonant and complex sound. With a little practice any beginner can begin to master the subtleties of the Cajon!
