Schlagwerk Cajon la Peru Night Burl Medium Drum

This is Schlagwerk's Cajon la Peru Night Burl Medium. The resonance box is made of seven layers of birch wood, while the playing surface has an attractive night burl design veneer. This combination of woods gives the Night Burl Medium model round, warm bass and brilliant snare response. The resonance box has a natural finish that lets the beauty of the wood show through.

The Cajon la Peru Night Burl has a seat height of 45 cm (approx. 17.5"), rather than the usual 50 cm (approx. 19.5"). This results in more comfortable playing for many drummers. Its aesthetics, versatility, and balanced bass and snare sounds makes it an excellent choice.

Schlagwerk's attention to detail, skilled craftsmanship, and innovation are reflected in all their products. Their cajones are no exception. For more than 25 years, Schlagwerk Percussion has been intensively developing the cajon, which has become one of the most popular rhythm instruments. In designing their cajones, they combined traditional Cuban and Peruvian construction forms with some ideas of their own.

The instruments that belong to the cajon family (cajones, cajintos, and yambus) enchant us with soft wooden playing surfaces and produce all the nuances of modern percussion sounds, ranging from high, assertive characteristics to voluminous bass sounds. The net result is a professional, unique, and versatile drum that can be used in many musical settings.

The Cajon la Peru is known throughout the world for its high-quality construction and acoustic properties. Its reputation is well deserved, as this is an incredible musical instrument. It is designed in the fashion of the Peruvian cajon, having internal snare strings that rest against the inside of the playing surface. The special construction form and clever interior design give this instrument its unmistakably unique bass and snare sounds, which are remarkably similar to an authentic drum sound. The addition of protective feet on the bottom serves to guard the cajon from damage while playing.

The Cajon la Peru (also known as the "Rumba Box") is very versatile. In addition to its use in traditional Latin American music, it can also supplement or even replace the drums in other styles of music. In short, cajones can be played anywhere and everywhere.

There are several models of Cajon la Peru, each with its own unique sound properties. Although all models are of similar dimensions, different combinations of wood are used in both the resonance box, and the playing surface. This gives each model of Cajon la Peru the ability to produce a different range of sounds.

Includes a cajon pad that provides the optimal cushion to make sitting on the cajon more comfortable.
