CAJON

The Cajon is a versatile music instrument that is suitable for both beginners without any prior music knowledge as well as professional drummers: the fact that it is a "simple" box drum allows you to either play it as it is or extend your range of sonic possibilities through the use of various Cajon accessories.

 

The Cajon makes a great solo, ensemble or accompaniment instrument: you can either simply play along to music or play rhythmic patterns for people to dance to, play alone or as a group.

​

They are portable, easy to store and easy to carry around - so you can practice or jam anytime, anywhere!
