⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- “Drum Magic”
Extremely pleased with my new cajon. Introduced it to the band tonight and it was a great success. Will need to mic it for larger gigs but perfect for smaller shows. Well built and definitely robust enough for stage life. Rick C. 07/22/25

Questions about the CajonTab®
Is the CajonTab® easy to learn?
Yes — genuinely. You don’t need lessons, tutorials, or any musical background. The CajonTab® is one of those instruments you learn by doing. Just pick it up, put on some music you love, and start tapping along.
Within minutes, most people naturally find a rhythm. Within a day or two, they’re playing beats that feel good and sound good.
You don’t have to “study” drums to enjoy them — rhythm is instinctive. The CajonTab® is built to be welcoming, forgiving, and fun right out of the box.
Does it work for live performances?
Absolutely. The CajonTab® shines in acoustic sets, singer-songwriter performances, living room jams, songwriter circles, worship settings, and any situation where tone matters more than raw volume.
It’s not designed for heavy rock or metal, and it won’t overpower loud amps. But for acoustic or lightly amplified performances, it delivers a clean, expressive sound that blends beautifully with voices and guitars.
Is it loud?
It can be—if you want it to be.
Played softly with hands, it’s perfect for home practice and intimate sessions. Played harder, it has enough punch for small gigs. And if you use bundle sticks or brushes, it opens up even more dynamic range.
Think of it like an acoustic guitar: quiet enough for your living room, powerful enough for a campfire or small stage. It’s expressive, but never overwhelming unless you really dig in.
What’s included with the CajonTab®?
- Adjustable snare attachment (switch between snare / no-snare in seconds)
- Shoulder strap for standing or roaming performances
- Free Click Snare attachments (a $19 value)
The Click Snares are especially fun — you can use them as a mini practice pad with sticks, bundle sticks, or even hands. They add a sharp rim-shot style tone and make practicing anywhere incredibly easy.
What if I don’t like it?
Then send it back.
You get a 60-day risk-free trial — plenty of time to play it, travel with it, rehearse with it, and see if it fits your world.
