Innovative Cajon with Pickups from Meinl

When you want extra volume and more tone control, the Meinl Pickup Slaptop Cajon is the ideal solution. This innovative instrument is lightweight and features an eco-friendly, medium-density fiberboard body that sits comfortably in your lap with its unique T-shaped design. The Pickup Slaptop also features a passive pickup system that has bass, snare, and tone controls, so you can dial in your own unique sound — features we fell in love with here at Sweetwater. In addition, the mahogany playing surface comes with internally fixed snares, which add punchy slap tones to the deep, boomy bass hits. The Pickup Slaptop even has forward-projecting sound ports that deliver even more volume to your audience. This cajon is literally built for sound, and you will hear it the first time you get it in your hands.

Link up other Meinl instruments

This cajon is equipped with a link input intended for use with other Meinl instruments with pickups. The link signal gets routed through the cajon's controls, enabling extra sound shaping before both signals get sent to a single amplifier. Using the link input, this cajon can eliminate the need for extra amplifiers, decrease a group's stage footprint, and lend a much cleaner visual look to a stage setup. Note: Meinl's link system is not compatible with all instruments or sources. Be sure to call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more information and a complete list of compatible devices.

Meinl Pickup Slaptop Cajon Features:

  • Innovative cajon with passive pickup system for great tone and volume
  • Eco-friendly, medium-density fiberboard body and mahogany playing surface emit great tone
  • Broad mahogany playing surface offers you 3 distinct sounds and tons of expression
  • Center section offers you rich bass and clean high percussion tones
  • Either side of the playing surface offers the snap and sizzle of snare sounds
  • Bottom-side cushioning adds comfort for extended playing sessions

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Slap top cajon

I am a pro drummer and I do small shows that don't require a full set of drums. I already have a normal cajon so on a whim I ordered the slap top that has a pick up built in .Great move on my part I can't believe the sound it is AWESOME.
Rated 5/5

Impressive range of sounds

I’m sitting in front of an acoustic duo in Old Town Alexandria, one of whom is playing this instrument with great invention, it’s as if he has a small drum kit on his lap. I will be ordering one myself when back home in the UK.
Rated 5/5

More than I expected

I'm not a percussionist, but bought this to run thru my looper, to jumpstart the creative process, starting with a beat instead of a melody. All I can say is that the online demos I have seen don't show the range of tones I have been able to find. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was not an issue when I unboxed it. The picture shows the knobs sticking out, but the one I received, manufactured in September 2018 has the knobs recessed like the larger model. I will probably get the turbo model without the pickup too, so I can have the snares on both sides, but that's just because I'm having so much fun with this one! Thanks to Chris for getting this order completed, with last minute additions, faster than I could have done it myself. I love ordering at the speed of thought!
Rated 4.5/5

Fun and sounds great

While I'm not a pro drummer, I got this for uses at church and with my group. Plugged it in and was highly impressed with the sounds I could get out of it. Versatile and great for church setting when you have a small group needing basic percussion for sure! In the hands of a real drummer it's amazing!
Music background: Formerly professional vocalist, now sound engineer, dj, kj and vocalist/multiple instruments for own group. Professional wedding singer.

Great little drum!

This is a great little drum. I love the passive pickup, as I can run this through a variety of effects pedals and the tone can get really interesting.
Music background: Long-time hobbyist.
