Unboxing the Slap-up Cajon from Meinl & first Impressions

First impression on the Meinl slap-up Cajon as I open the box

[@emildefusco1746]

The best cajon playing I have seen on the internet so far. Dynamics separate the men from the boys. Great playing! I have to get one of these!

[@Groove2day]

oh man thanks s much and yeah its a fun little " cajon " for sure

[@jebatman756]

Dude, you're so good! I just got one of these and I'm just getting started, would love a follow up video! Or a basic hand drum techniques vid!

[@ayoungethan]

One cool thing about this instrument is that the snares are accessible via screw panels where it rests on your legs, so you can tune or replace them (there was a little bit of annoying residual buzz on mine that I was able to take care of), or you can remove the snare on one side to give yourself an additional tone but with less symmetry.

[@Groove2day]

thanks man, that's useful info !

First time video. I subscribed, liked & shared simply because my goal with my cajón is to have the look of pure joy that you have while playing yours.

[@MsSambaNow]

Incredible slap technique. Incredible technique period, AND your slaps are killer. Watch and learn boys.

I found this to be a better bongo than the bongos. The one shown here is the $150 model. The cheaper $100 model is very nice. I am no hand drummer - I just bang on my cajon when listening to music but a some people were looking over when I started hitting this cajon in the music store because of the nice sounds coming out of it. If I didn't think the wife would kill me I would have bought it. Like bongos but comfortable and permanently in tune ( although you can't alter the tuning so there's that ).

@@Groove2day thanks a lot🙏

[@Kubakaiser]

So what's your opinion of it? Better than regular cajon? How punchy is the bass?

[@Groove2day]

depends on what role its gonna play in the music. it hasn't got anywhere near the bottom end or punch of a real cajon, its more bongo/conga ish in its role in the groove

[@Weeze_Bo]

Fk’s sake mate, you’re better than me out the box!!

[@MsSambaNow]

Hey Groove2day, what's your name? I'm sure you must have some killer videos as conguero, et al.

[@bgcreationz]
