About this product

This unique cajon places the playing surface directly on your lap, eliminating the need to lean over as required by traditional box drums. The Makah Burl front plate is intelligently divided to produce distinct snare, bass, and tom/bongo tones, allowing you to create complex rhythms with ease. A forward-facing bass port ensures your sound projects clearly toward the audience, making it an ideal choice for acoustic shows, studio sessions, and outdoor jams.

Built for durability and professional-grade performance, this instrument features a modern composite body supported by four stable silicone feet. Weighing only 7 lbs, the Slaptop Cajon provides the volume of a traditional cajon while maintaining superior note separation. Designed by Meinl's expert German team, this compact drum is a reliable, high-quality solution for musicians seeking a comfortable and portable rhythm instrument.
