The Meinl Headliner Series Cajons deliver the classic cajon sound at an affordable price and can be used in Flamenco or world music. They are also very useful during unplugged gigs for delivering the rhythmic foundation for a whole band when a full drum set can't be used. This cajon features a birch resonating body and frontplate.

    My first cajon so I was looking for an entry level instrument. I was concerned that the quality might not be very good, but was pleasantly surprised. The Meinl Headliner Cajon is well made, rubber wood, adjustable for both the sizzle/snare wires and the corner slaps, has a nice textured top to keep you from sliding around, and the large rubber feet keep it in place even when tilting backwards. Easy to play the basic sounds, which sound pretty good. The medium size fits my 5'10" 200lbs+ body just fine.

  • A great cajon at any price

    This cajon has turned out to be all that I'd hoped it would. Actually bought it as a X-mas gift for my son but now I'm planning to buy a second one for myself. The rubber wood has a nice mellow sound and the strings are easily adjustable to give it a nice snare sound on the top slap. Really nice tones for the price, I'd use this cajon in almost any situation without fear of sounding bad.

    I am deciding between the Headliner and the Sierra Birch. Which cajon best suits a acoustic drum set? Thanks very much
