UFiPとエスニックシティがタッグを組み、カホン用シンバルをプロデュース！ その名も”DEL CAJON”

■Product concept

I'm sure many people are worried about the combination of cajon and cymbals.
Even if you say it's a cymbal, it's also an accent! There are a variety of ways to use it, from a one-shot approach to a ride-like approach with larger cymbals similar to a drum set.
Of course, you can use drum set cymbals, but you will need to choose ones that are easy to play with your bare hands, and those that are compatible with the cajon in volume and pitch if you are going for a ride approach.

"DEL CAJON" is so thin that it will break if you hit it hard with a stick! The 8- and 10-inch models can be heard even with just one finger, and have excellent responsiveness. 14 and 16 inches can be used not only for crashing by hand, but also for riding approaches using rods and thin sticks!

■8 inch/ES-8CJ ¥15,400

Uhip DEL CAJON EXPERIENCE CAJON SPLASH 8 inch ES-08CJ
Ultra thin! Thin enough to be easily folded by hand. Because of this thinness, the pitch is low for 8 inches, and there is no feeling of rising. 8-inch splash cymbals for drum sets do not sound well with the pads of your fingers, and you may have to play by hooking your fingernails into the edge of the cymbal, but there is no need to worry about that. I think you can use it comfortably as an accent for special occasions without having to be too conscious of the playing method.
 

■10 inch/ES-10CJ ¥18,150

Uhip EXPERIENCE DEL CAJON SPLASH 10 inch ES-10CJ
It's also quite thin. Although the size is 10 inches, the pitch is low. When you think of a 10-inch splash, you think of a sound like a caan or a pacorn, but the 10-inch version of "DEL CAJON" sounds like a shaan. Since the sustain in the high range is long, I think it can be used as a crash.
 

■14 inch/ES-14CJ ¥27,500

Uhip DEL CAJON EXPERIENCE CAJON CRASH 14 inch ES-14CJ
With this size, more bass comes out, and you can get a comfortable fit when playing it together with the bass of the cajon. I think it would go well with djembe and conga. This is also quite thin compared to its 14-inch size, and you can get a good spread of the low range even with a rod, so it's perfect for a riding approach. I think it's a multi-use piece.
 

■16 inch/ES-16CJ ¥34,100

Uhip EXPERIENCE DEL CAJON CRASH 16 inch ES-16CJ
Although it is a common size, its unique thinness gives it a fairly calm pitch feel. The roll with a mallet has a wide spread and is very beautiful. Compared to the smaller size, it is thicker, so it looks good not only as a cajon, but also as a small crash for timbales. However, be careful of hard hits! As I have briefly introduced, cymbals are musical instruments with great individual differences! This is a great product that you should definitely try out to see how it goes well with your cajon!
