Why the American Maple?

Maple is the wood that professional drummers have trusted for decades — and for good reason. Its tonal clarity is unmatched: the bass is defined and punchy, the slap is bright and cutting, and every note in between sits perfectly in the mix. On the American Maple cajon, that clarity is elevated further by premium construction and a tapa that responds to every nuance of your playing. Add the bold graphic design and you have an instrument that commands attention before you've played a single note — and keeps it long after the last groove fades. This is the cajon that professionals choose when only the best will do.

The definitive choice for professional percussionists, gigging musicians, session players, recording artists, and serious enthusiasts who want the finest tonewood, the boldest design, and the highest performance in the Clapbox cajon range.
