The DeUno Snare Cajon is a modern version of the traditional Cuban and Peruvian/Spanish Cajon drum. The construction of the Kopf Cajon starts with a solid poplar shell (resonating box). There are two tapas (playing surfaces) that are made from the finest quality baltic birch plywood available. One tapa has 4 non-adjustable snares and the other does not making this drum two cajones in one! Both Playing surfaces are completely glued rather than screwed to the frame. This gives the drum its amazing resonance and rich overtones. If you are looking for a cajon with loads of low end BOOM....then this is one of the best cajon drums for you. The whole cajon is finished with a thin clear satin finish to provide protection while preserving the wonderfull tone of the drum. It is craftsmanship at it's best! Everything is handcrafted, right here in the USA, right down to the custom seat on the top of the drum!.
This cajon was purchased after much research and consideration. I was looking for a cajon that would be very versatile and durable. The DeUno fits the bill. This cajon has a great deal of resonance. It really rings out. The bass is a very boomy low end type of bass (which is what i was looking for). I have to say that you do have to work just a little bit harder to get the snares but it is worth it to have that amazing bass tone. Great cajon!
Seasoned player with 22 years of experience. I know quality and this is a high quality as it gets. Rich warm tone with everything where it should be.
My second cajon...should have been my first. Great bass and resonance and a very comfortable top. Very pretty too!
This is my second cajon. When I wanted to upgrade from my Aspire cajon, I started looking around and found that Kopf Percussion was considered to be at the top of the game. Being made in the USA was an added bonus. This cajon has the most amazing bass tone I have ever heard from a cajon. So resonant and warm. I love it. Well constructed and beautiful. AAA+++
I bought this cajon from X8drums.com for around 300 bucks. I was looking for a cajon with great tone. The people at X8 recommended this cajon for its great resonance and versatility. It has two playing tapas. I also like the fact that it was made in my home state of Georgia.
After a great deal of research, I settled on this cajon. To my ear, the classic cajon sound is deep, clear bass response. This cajon delivers. When selecting a cajon, I was not interested in a snare sound. That this cajon offers both a snare and a non-snare side is great, I get the best of both worlds. It's also nice that the snares don't bleed into the bass sound. Well made, great bass sound. My one complaint is the size. I am 6'4", and sitting on the cajon takes some finageling.
In my opinion.....the Kopf S-series is hands down the best cajons in the world. (No Kidding). The bass response is incredible. The snare sounds great and it is only heard in the snare and slap zone. No snare what so ever in the bass zone. The drum looks like what fine furniture would look like and the cushioned seat is something like no other cajon (that I have seen) has. 5 stars all the way around.
As a drummer and percussionist of 25 years, I have learned what I like and what I don't like. What I like is very high quality equipment and I'm not afraid to pay for it. When I started looking to replace my worn Fat Congas String cajon that I have had for 15 years, I found out that Fat Congas was out of business. So I started looking for a cajon that was similar in quality. Kopf was the one that seemed like the best fit. I drove 60 miles to the nearest dealer that had one and it was worth the drive. This cajon is by far the best one I have found. Great craftsmanship all the way around. It has a big low end and great slap and snare tones. I think that this company will be the leader in cajon building for years to come.
Great responsiveness.......amazingly punchy bass. Very high quality craftsmanship. I love it.
