Meinl Pickup Slap-Top 14 1/2"x10"x5 3/4" - Walnut

Product Description

Meinl's Pickup Slap-Top Cajon is a T-shaped cajon with a built-in passive pickup system, designed to give you several drum sounds in one instrument. With individual control over snare, bass and tone, it simulates snare drum, bass drum, conga and bongo.

Thanks to the built-in pickup system, you can easily connect the cajon to an amp or PA when extra volume is needed on stage, without needing a separate microphone to be heard in the mix.

Construction and playing feel

The T-shaped body has the bass port facing the audience and is played standing, held between the knees. An ergonomic playing position that makes it easy to switch between sounds and techniques. The playing surface has an internal snare wire that gives the cajon its characteristic snare-drum sound.

Material note: the source material is inconsistent about the materials used for the playing surface and sides. The introductory description states a mahogany playing surface and eco-friendly fiberboard sides, while the specification list in the same source text states a walnut veneer playing surface and Baltic Birch sides. The specification list also references a different item code, PTOPCAJ4MH-M, which does not match this product's MPN (PTOPCAJ2WN). The figures below are taken verbatim from the source and should be verified with the manufacturer before publication.

Sound and control

With individual control over snare, bass and tone, you can shape the cajon's sound to fit the song or setting, from a distinct snare rattle to a deep bass-drum feel.
