“I am on the road as a drummer and percussionist with numerous projects. I always adapt my percussion set-up to the respective project, but the cajón is always the centerpiece. I love the sound, the haptics and also the look of the Schlagwerk cajóns. The pedal allows me to integrate even more sounds into my playing (congas, bongos, shakers, cymbals etc.), as I naturally have one hand free. Brilliant, I love it!”

The solid Alder body offers controlled, very dry bass without cross-talking snare noise. The front is fixed with our own OS “Open sound and fully Screwed playing surface” method, typically for the Precise line. Also, on the Precise line we have created a Deluxe version of the “regular” Evo. The front board is laminated with hand-picked one of a kind smoked Walnut veneer. This does not only support the gorgeous visual appearance but also adds more warmth and colour to the overall sound. As the Walnut adds some low end, the Bass tube distracts from the natural sound, therefore it does not come standard with that model.
With our CAP200 we stick to a remote cable design as we believe the setup flexibility is far superior to any other pedal design. We designed our pedal in such a way that a normal cajon strikes exactly at the sweet spot for the best sound. No matter which cajon. In addition, our new pedal will again be delivered with a bag and a custom inlay.
One of the most outstanding features of the 10 tone drum, the Original Schlagwerk Log Drum is its versatility. This instrument is tuned to an F-Pentatonic scale spanning two octaves. Virtuosity and joy in experimenting are just what is needed here.
