An all-round cymbal with a deep, dark tone and masses of presence, the Meinl B19POC Byzance Traditional polyphonic crash delivers the medium-long sustain of a thin blade and the ringing attack of an unfinished bell. Hand-hammered to ensure an utterly unique sound, this cymbal has an immediately balanced and warm character that neatly slots into any genre, including rock, pop, fusion, funk, jazz, R&B, reggae, and every other conceivable playing style under the sun.

Made from solid roasted alder, specially developed SPL, beech and gabon wood, with the CP4901 Evo Nature cajon, Schlagwerk have brought out the big guns. The alder top and underside aid resonance while the bass is given an extra kick by the SPL sides and beech back. Meanwhile, the gabon wood playing surface has been screwed at the top and glued at the bottom - a perfectionist's dream and an exclusive feature of all Schlagwerk La Peru Series cajons.The Schlagwerk CP4901 Evo Nature: Endless StyleThe extra-thick playing surface also boosts the sensitivity of this professional percussive instrument, while inside, two snare units have been fitted, each with four wires that combine for an ultra-rich snare sound that can be accurately tweaked since each wire can be individually tuned via the screws on the underside. Visually, the Schlagwerk CP4901 cajon is clean and classic, but when it comes to the playability, it's able to handle any style, any technique and any genre.

The Ortega Performer Series OCJPF-2 cajon can be played unplugged as well as plugged into an amplifier or PA system thanks to the built-in preamp and piezo pickup. What's more, you also have the option to hook up another instrument via the fitted link input, which simply passes on the signal instead of sticking it through the preamp. Polished off with a cedar playing surface, this gig-ready cajon features rounded corners and rounded thumb rest contours for optimum playing comfort, and has been made of Baltic birch to guarantee maximum strength and durability.
