The Cajon That Looks as Good as It Sounds

The Kala Zebrawood Cajon is one of those instruments that earns a second look before you even play it. The zebrawood faceplate has a striking dark and light grain pattern that is genuinely beautiful, and the sound that comes out of it matches the looks. We have it here at The Pied Piper Music Store in New Albany, Ohio just outside Columbus, and if you are an acoustic guitarist, a singer-songwriter, or a drummer looking for a portable percussion solution for intimate gigs, this cajon is worth your time.

What a Cajon Does and Why This One Does It Well

A cajon is a box drum from Peru that you sit on and play with your hands. The upper portion of the faceplate produces a crisp snare-like tone, the lower portion delivers deep, resonant bass, and everything in between gives you a dynamic range that can carry an acoustic set without a full drum kit. The Kala Zebrawood has an adjustable snare mechanism behind the upper faceplate that lets you dial in the snare response with the included allen key — tighten it for a crisp, cutting buzz or loosen it for something subtler. The rear port delivers solid low end that fills a room naturally.

Zebrawood is prized for its acoustic properties as well as its appearance. The density and hardness of the wood contribute to bright, articulate tones with excellent projection, and because every piece of zebrawood has a unique grain pattern, your cajon is genuinely one of a kind.

Portable, Practical, and Ready to Gig

At 7.5 lbs and 18.5 inches tall, the Kala Zebrawood Cajon is light enough to carry to any gig and stable enough to play hard without it moving around on you. No assembly required — sit down and start playing. It fits easily in a car, stores conveniently at home, and travels to performances without the bulk of a traditional drum kit. You can play it with your hands, brushes, or sticks, which gives you a lot of tonal flexibility depending on the setting.
