A modern signature at the crossroads of stage and studio
The result of a collaboration between Meinl Percussion and drummer-percussionist
El Estepario Siberiano, this cajon is part of the line of Signature models that have marked the decade. Designed and crafted by the Pepote workshop in Spain, it emphasises responsiveness and finesse in transients, with an aesthetic inspired by the artist. This limited edition handcrafted model benefits from a level of care in its manufacture rarely found in a mass-produced cajon.
Who is it for and what is it used for?
Ideal for
percussionists, acoustic drummers and content creators looking for a versatile instrument, this model shines in
acoustic settings (café concerts, unplugged), in
home studios and on stage with amplification. Its clear high-frequency response (snare drum hits and snare wire) and low-mid definition facilitate the articulation of modern patterns, from ghost notes to sharp drum-like accents.
Design, feel and sound response
The
exclusive profile of the body optimises projection while maintaining controlled bass, for an intuitive kick/snare balance. The silk matt black finish with white motifs offers excellent resistance to marks while highlighting the contours of the instrument under lighting. Meticulous assembly and careful internal tensioning ensure consistent snare wire sensitivity and dynamics that can be exploited from pianissimo to forte.
