The slap top cajon doesn't sound exactly like a regular cajon, but, like this bongo cajon, the slap top model has a horizontal playing surface

If you want a VERY cool and enjoyable drum made by Meinl, I strongly suggest checking out and purchasing the Slap Top Cajon.

If your considering buying this drum then wait no longer, the only hesitation i made was deciding whether to get this one or the slightly more pricey meinl snare bongo cajon, but i wanted a solid wood drum, no holes drilled for adjustment screws, completely

if I'd bought the slap top cajon first, I might not have bought this one

As a novice drummer, I have found that two things are needed to make this bongo cajon sound its best

Awesome little Cajon

Meinl Slap-Top Cajon - Makah-Burl

They had enjoyed the Cajon during praise team practices at our church, so we liked the idea of a smaller drum that was more like bongos, but still had that easy modern style

It is a beautiful Cajon

Does this drum sound as good as the Gon Bops bongo cajon

It is not as loud as a Cajon or Bongos.

The sound is not as great as the regular Meinl Full Size Hardwood String Cajon

This small cajon is ideal for using when I'm sitting around the house and don't want to disturb the neighbors.
