Meinl Percussion Cajon Drum Set with Cymbals and Hardware

The Right Kit for Small Gigs

For gatherings where a cajon is too light and a kit is too rowdy, the Meinl Percussion Cajon Drum Set — a Sweetwater exclusive — makes the perfect portable rhythm station. At its heart is a beautifully figured Meinl Woodcraft Peruvian cajon that, when miked up, really rivals the round low end you can get from a bass drum. Meinl's included direct-drive mounted kick pedal is the perfect mate. Its soft beater safely coaxes warm tones out of the Baltic birch shell, and so snappy is its response that even doubles and complex patterns will roll off the foot in no time. On backbeat duty is the Meinl Cajon Snare, a 7.5" wood shell with internal snares that's also handy for train beats and clave rhythms. This drum mounts conveniently to the included Meinl hi-hat stand, which is topped with a pair of crisp, clean, cutting Meinl 13" HCS hats. All this comes with a pair of rute sticks, a shaker, and a carry case, making the Sweetwater Meinl Cajon Drum Set a sensible, ready-to-roll rhythm machine that packs up quick and travels easily.
