An Alternative Drum Kit for Lighter Gigs
Cajon drum sets are a great way to keep your music fresh. Our customers wanted a kit they could play with their hands, brushes, or rods. So Sweetwater put together this exclusive kit from LP, DW, and Sabian - and we've gotta say, we're awful proud of it! This kit includes two cajons from the handcrafted LP Americana series: a flamenco cajon with a warm, woofy bottom end, and a 12" Octo-Snare Cajon that can be made to sound like a snare drum or a conga. This cajon drum set also includes a DW cajon pedal, hi-hats and a stand, and all the accessories you could need for cafe shows to street music. We've also thrown in gig bags for easier transport.

We wanted the foundation of this kit to be an instrument that stood on its own. That's why we chose the LP Americana flamenco cajon. This instrument is handcrafted in the USA from premium acoustic woods for a sound you'll enjoy playing on your kit or on its own. The adjustable Puresound snare wires let you dial in how much "snap" you want. This kit includes a remote pedal and soft cajon beater.
LP Octo-Snare Cajon provides snare-like shuffles and backbeatsThis unique instrument from the LP Americana series adds woody, organic backbeats to your grooves. The Octo-Snare Cajon is a 5" x 12" Baltic birch drum with dual playing surfaces. Play it upright, and the fixed internal snares give it a satisfying snap for brushes and rods. Or flip it over and play with your hands for more of a conga sound. Includes a stand.
Loaded LP Cajon Saddle is a rich palette of tonesThe LP Cajon Saddle serves two purposes: its cushioned seat makes long gigs more comfortable. And its side storage holds percussion toys neatly for quick access. We've loaded the Cajon Saddle with a set of LP cajon brushes for lighter textures, the LP Vari-Tone Shaker for rhythmic 16ths, and the LP Large Cajon Castanet for sharp accents.
DW hardware provides top-class precision and supportWhat makes our cajon kit so much fun to play is the full complement of DW hardware. This set includes an ultra-responsive DW5000 remote pedal with a soft beater that mounts to any cajon. It also has two pieces from the DW 6000 Retro Flush-base Hardware series: a light aluminum snare stand for the Octo-Snare Cajon and a direct-pull hi-hat stand that feels great with the included 13" hats. All hardware packs into the included hardware bag
13" Sabian XSR hi-hats have a fast chick and sensitive attackWe felt these hi-hats had the quick response and musical sensitivity drummers would look for in a cajon kit. Sabian XSR cymbals are made from cast, hammered B20 bronze for a complex tone. Of course, since even these hi-hats can be too much for certain pieces, we've also included an LP foot tambourine for softer rhythms.
