A real cajon that can also play tambourine, snare, kick and more as you hit it. The Roland ELCajon EC-10 is a full acoustic cajon with Roland’s electronic percussion built in. Sensors in the head and edge trigger layered sounds – from shaker and djembe to acoustic or TR-808 snare and electronic kick – through its own amp and speaker. It suits cajon players, singer-songwriters and acoustic groups.
Why customers choose it
Who it is for
