With its front plate made from cherry wood and its resonating body made from red oak wood, Meinl utilizes materials which up until now have never been used in cajon manufacturing. In combination with other unique features such as adjustable snare wires, this Meinl cajon is an exclusive instrument exemplifying the highest sound standards.The cajon is an authentic Afro-Cuban wooden box percussion instrument. Meinl cajons are completely handmade from start to finish. They work perfectly for flamenco or world music and deliver a wide range of sounds, from loud, deep bass tones to cutting high overtones. Drummers and percussionists appreciate the cajon for its diversity of sound. They're also perfect for unplugged gigs or sessions.To equip a cajon with fully adjustable snare wires is an original Meinl innovation. The snares touch the frontplate from the inside and deliver the classical cajon sound, which is requisite in flamenco music. A knurled knob adjusts the amount of pressure used to press the snare wires against the front plate. Rattling ranging from light and sensitive to very loud can be achieved through adjustment. The entire snare unit can even be turned off completely. The cajon is one of today's most popular percussion instruments because it very easy to play, and provides a great feel and rhythmic foundation to any musical situation. It is fun to experiment with and is popular in literally every musical genre as it is often used during unplugged gigs or softer songs to replace an entire drum kit.After just a little practice, basic beats and grooves can be achieved. It can be used by drummers as a substitute for their throne, playing on it with one hand, while the other hand keeps time on the ride or the hi-hat.Many drummers also use the cajon during unplugged gigs, certain songs, or spontaneous sessions as its ability to emulate many sounds serves as an excellent substitute for a complete drum set.Traditionally, cajons are played by sitting on the padded top of the box while slightly leaning backwards. The frontplate is struck with the bare hands. Various playing techniques help to create different sounds ranging from deep bass tones to cutting highs and slaps.A nice effect can be achieved by sliding the foot up and down the front plate when playing the cajon, in effect changing the pitch of its tone.A unique and inspiring sound is achieved when playing the cajon's front plate with a pair of brushes or rods.The history of the cajon The cajon, which is the Spanish word for box, has been part of Afro-Peruvian music since the 19th century. The instrument originated in colonial Peru, when the slaves, whose African drums had been forbidden by their masters, used wooden boxes intended to hold fruits or overturned drawers to play their rhythms on. Later the cajon was officially added to the instrumentation of the vals criollo, or "creole waltz." It is now a national emblem for Peruvians, and an indispensable part of any ens

Axis AX-A Pedals Description Since it was first introduced in 1990, and with over 40,000 sold, the AXIS A has established performance standards that all other pedals have tried to live up to. The AXIS A sets the standard for performance and power that has taken pedal technology into the next millenium. The patented variable drive lever allows the player to obtain the feel of any type of pedal drive with one simple adjustment. The new "Beater Forward" design substantially increases the power of the AXIS A without making it feel heavier, resulting in an increase of both speed and punch from both heel-up and heel-down players.

Yamaha N4F48UA Yamaha N4F48UA Description: Floor Tom Sets N4F48UA 4-pc. drum set: NBD-824UA, NTT-813UA, NFT-816A, NSD-087A, CL-945LB, SS-840,CS-840, CS-845, HS-840, FP-8215 Following in the footsteps of our Birch, Maple, and Beech drum series, Oak shows great promise as a drum shell material. A solid fundamental delivers a powerful sound while its character allows for a unique shell size line up. Beautifully grained, this hardwood creates a drum with stunning looks. Air Seal System for Superior Shells The use of our original Air Seal System is, in part, responsible for the superior quality found in Yamaha drum shells. Select woods are cut into plies, positioned with staggered diagonal seams, and sealed together with evenly distributed air pressure. The resulting shells are perfectly round and of uniform thickness delivering superior tone quality and exceptional durability. All Oak Shell Utilization of Yamaha's Air Seal system allows for the first time use of oak in a drum shell. As in our Maple and Birch series, this process delivers a shell that's perfectly round, with uniform thickness and excellent durability. The bass drum shell is 7-plys while the toms and floor tom shells are 6-plys. All shells throughout the entire range deliver a solid fundamental and powerful sound. Oak Shells are Universal Sizes Oak Custom shell depths are sized in between our "jazz" depth and "power" depth drums. The universal size allows for maximum projection while maintaining strong attack. Bass drums are available in 18"x15" and 20", 22", and 24" diameters with a universal 17" depth. The added depth enhances the oak's tone with greater bottom end and more power. Floor toms come in conventional sizes (14"x14", 16"x16", and 18"x16") Sleek, Low-Mass Lugs These small, oval-shaped lugs are easily attached to the shell with a single bolt. Small footprints offer minimum lug to shell contact allowing the shell to deliver maximum tone. A special nylon insert prevents tension rods from becoming loose during play. Floating Bass Drum System Height adjustment on the pedal side of the bass drum is possible with the pipe post stabilizer. Use of this system ensures that the beater makes contact at the center of the head. The stabilizer fits into a pipe clamp on the underside of the drum that allows quick and easy adjustment of the height. The post is equipped with a memory clamp that ensures subsequent settings will be quick and precise every time. Bass Drum Spurs A sturdy hexagonal design and fixed angle position allow our spurs to withstand the punishment of even the heaviest bass drum foot. For the Oak Custom we made the spurs heavier and even stronger. Height adjustment and the releasing and retracting of the pointed spur are made easily with a drum key. Mounted Toms and Floor Toms Equipped with YESS Mounts Long found on our high-end drum kits our original YESS (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System) mounting system is on all Oak Custom toms and
