CAJÓN SIROCO

The Siroco marks a collaboration between two of Spain's most revered cajón craftsmen: J. Leiva percussion and DG DeGregorio. Combining J. Leiva's ingenious, patented collapsable cajón design with the DG Maestral tunable/ interchangeable front-plate system, the Siroco represents a new level of portability and versatility.  The Siroco can be disassembled and put into its included carrying bag in under a minute. When collapsed, the Siroco measures 12x30x50 cm- only one-third of its original size- and can easily be placed in an airplane carry-on rack or under a seat. Because the Siroco is no bigger than a laptop bag or briefcase, it goes wherever you do.

CAJÓN ZIRYAB

The Ziryab model is a unique work of art, made according to the highest workmanship and technological standards.
We used the best materials available, state of the art machinery and ancient artisan techniques to achieve a spectacular result, which goes straight to the top of our catalogue, a sort of symbol representing the long path that we undertook since we started manufacturing cajóns.
Solid maple, genuine rosewood venneer and hand placed marquetry are the precious ingredients that make this magnificent object.
A true collector's item.

CAJÓN MANU MASAEDO “SIGNATURE”

Those who are familiar with Manu’s style, know that it is caracterized by spectacular technique and extraordinary power, which often ends up breaking a front panel during a solo.
For this reason we needed to develope a model that could take this kind of impact, yet at the same time deliver a cristal clear sound.
After many attempts, we made it.
This instrument responds perfectly to all kind of dynamics, from “pianissimo” up to “destroyer”.
The special panel composition, and the reinforced structure, make this model the “heavy weight” champion.

Sides: 12 mm 9 plies
Front: 4 mm special Birch / Maple formula

CAJÓN CHANELA DE LUXE

The “De Luxe” edition aims to elevate the standard of the professional modelsChanela, Yaquí and Kanyero.
The main added value is the material used for the body of the cajons, which is solid wood (a variety of Mahogany known as Sipo), and it is built with state of the art, digitally controlled machinery.
Thanks to this technology, the solid wood panels are thinned and profiled in such a way that they are both lightweight and rock solid.
The inner joints of the De Luxe models are specially contoured in order to eliminate the 90 degrees angle; this gives a mellower tone, more “rounded”.
The warmer tone is also achieved because the width of the De Luxe version is bigger than the standard models.
The beautiful look of solid wood adds up to its tonal qualities, creating a product that is very hard to improve.

CAJÓN SIBONEY

Along with its larger brother Kongo, the Siboney continues our line of Cuban style cajóns. Made in the traditional way without a snare, the Siboney is played using conga technique as well as modern finger techniques. Its sound opens up in the same way as a conga, but with a far woodier tone and more compact sustain.

	Size: 49 x 29 x 29 cm Sides : 12 mm, 9 plies of Baltic Birch. Top : 3 mm, 3 plies of Baltic Birch. Sound : This Cuban style cajòn is without snare. The sound is very similar to a conga's, and can be played with the same technique. It is also very interesting when played with the fingers.

CAJÓN KONGO

Designed after the traditional Cuban cajóns made by the great Pancho Quinto, the Kongo is larger than our standard flamenco cajóns and does not feature a snare system. It has a low, earthy tone which is used in folkloric Cuban dance music, but which is also equally at home in pop/rock settings.

Size: 49 x 45 x 29 cm

Sides: 12 mm in 9 plies of Baltic Birch
Back: 6.0 mm in 5 plies of langBaltic Birch
Front: 3 mm in 3 plies of Baltic Birch

DRUMBOX

Meet the next evolution of the cajón: the DrumBox from DeGregorio. The DrumBox takes our top-of-the-line Maestral cajón with its patented tunable, replaceable front-plate (“tapa”) and adds another non-stringed bass-plate to the side of the instrument. Using our patented DG Direct-Drive Cajón Pedal, you can play the bass-plate as an entirely separate kick drum, opening up a whole word of new sonic possibilities on the cajón.

Play the front-plate with your hands and use the pedal for accents, or set up a snare drum and hi-hat to create a unique, compact travel drumset. However you choose to play it, with the DG DrumBox the only limit is your imagination.

Size: 49 x 29 x 29 cm Sides : 9mm in 5 plies of Baltic Birch Back : 3 mm in 3 plies of Baltic Birch. Removable by means of 6 screws Front : 2.5 mm in 5 plies of Baltic Birch with Alpi Lignum venneer Side beating surface: 3 mm in 3 plies of Baltic Birch Snare system: 2 tunable independent steel strings with quick release device DRUMBOX TRAVEL

Want even more portability from your DG DrumBox? The DrumBox Travel is always ready to go. By using an ingenious removable back panel, we’ve designed an entire storage system for your DG Direct-Drive Cajón Pedal inside the body of the DrumBox. Now you can take everything you need for the gig in one compact, incredible sounding package- no extra hardware bags needed.

DG DIRECT-DRIVE CAJON PEDAL DeGregorio, in collaboration with our friends at J.Leiva Percussion, is proud to announce another industry first- the patented DG Direct-Drive Cajón Pedal. Our cajón pedal has been purpose built to be the fastest, most sensitive, and the most natural feeling cajón pedal on the market today. Unlike cable-driven pedals which can feel slow and lack finesse, the DG Direct-Drive Cajón Pedal uses a telescoping linkage to join the remote-pedal to the beater assembly, resulting in no loss of energy and a lightning-fast feel. Add to that our specially designed foam-rubber beater, and you have the first pedal to truly allow you to play your cajón like a bass drum. The DG Direct-Drive Cajón Pedal was designed for working professionals, so it's built tough to withstand the rigors of the road; there are no delicate cables to worry about bending or breaking. And not only can the pedal be used with our patented DrumBox as well an other standard cajón, the setup can be switched from right-handed to left-handed with one screw. Simply put, no other cajón pedal can match the feel, speed, and versatility of the DG Direct-Drive Cajón Pedal.

CAJÓN ZAMBO

The Zambo is two cajóns in one! Originally developed as part of a commission from London's Ensemble Bash, the Zambo features the DG Snare Throwoff (pat.pend. n. BO2003A000172) which allows players to quickly engage or disengage the snares depending on the sound they want. The snare tension can be fine-tuned via two small screws located opposite the throw-off knob.The snare mechanism itself features nylon-wound strings for a sound which is mellower and more earthy in comparison to our steel-stringed cajóns. When the snares are disengaged, the Zambo takes on the sound of a typical Cuban cajón; woody and almost bongo-like.
The Zambo is constructed of birch plywood with a 3-ply, 3 mm birch front-plate for projection and sensitivity.
Watch the videos below and hear the Zambo's unparalleled sonic versatility for yourself.

	Size: 12.5x12x19.5 in Sides: 12 mm, 9 plies Back: 6 mm, 5 plies Front: 3 mm, 3 plies  Listen with snares off and on
with snares on ...and off
	Sound: This model has two very different sounds. It features a removable snare mechanism with nylon wound strings, so it's a bit less aggressive than the other snare cajones. With the snares on it has a mellow, rootsy sound, with earthy basses; without it is quite similar to a bongo sound. Originally designed under specific request of London'sEnsemble Bash, it had to be used without the snares in Cuban music contexts.

CAJÓN CHANELA

The Chanela is the result of years of research and work towards an instrument with extraordinarily sensitive snare response while maintaining the rich sound for which DG is known. This cajón includes a specially designed snare mechanism which doubles the number of snare-strings from the standard 4 to up to 8, resulting in breath-taking sensitivity, and the 2.5 mm front-plate is constructed of 5 ultra-thin plies of Baltic birch for unparalleled tone. The strings are tensioned very loosely and are secured with special adhesive tape to eliminate unwanted buzz. Additionally, the entire snare mechanism can be easily removed to facilitate quick and simple string replacement.
The Chanela is available in six different finishes.

	Size: 49 x 29 x 29 cm Sides : 12 mm in 9 plies of Baltic Birch Back : 6.0 mm in 5 plies of Baltic Birch Front : 2.5 mm in 5 plies of Baltic Birch
	Developing the concept behind the patented snare system of the Zambo model, we created a detachable upper inner block, where the strings and the top screws rest. Since the bottom block is also removable, replacing a damaged string is now a simple operation, something that can be done in a few minutes with a simple screwdriver. Available in six different finishes.

CAJÓN CIGANO

The DG Cigano ("Gypsy") was developed in conjunction with leading local flamenco percussionists specializing in the new "Madrid and Barcelona style." This style incorporates the heavy use of Afro-Cuban percussion, necessitating an instrument with both a pronounced snare sound as well as the volume to compete with congas and timbales. With its 3mm, 3-ply Baltic birch front-plate, 9-ply birch body, and 2 independently tunable steel-core strings mounted on our quick-release snare-system, the Cigano more than delivers the volume and sensitivity needed. In fact, the Cigano's unique features allow it to be heard in small venues without amplification- even over the heavy footwork of Flamenco dancers.

Watch the video of Manu Masaedo below to hear the Cigano for yourself.

Size: 49 x 29 x 29 cm Sides : 9mm in 9 plies of Baltic Birch Back : 3 mm in 3 plies of Baltic Birch Front : 3 mm in 3 plies of Baltic Birch Finish: water based lacquer Snare system: 2 tunable independent steel strings with quick release device

CAJÓN PAQUITO GONZÁLEZ “SIGNATURE”

The Maestral model has been taken around the world by Paquito González, on tour with Vicente Amigo, and its sound can be even listened on Paco de Lucía laste recording, “Canción Andaluza”.
This special signature version features a coated circular area applied to the front panel.
It is a permanent material that allows the hand to be used as a snare brush, adding a further colour to the cajón soundscape.
This process also has the effect of reducing the harmonics of the Maestral, creating a drier sound.
This makes its amplification very easy, therefore it is especially suitable for those percussionists who like to play with controlled dynamics and enjoy the art of accompanyment, like the Maestro Paquito.

Leiva's ingenious, patented collapsable cajón design with the DG Maestral tunable/ interchangeable front-plate system, the Siroco represents a new level of portability and versatility. 

	The Siroco can be disassembled and put into its included carrying bag in under a minute. When collapsed, the Siroco measures 12x30x50 cm- only one-third of its original size- and can easily be placed in an airplane carry-on rack or under a seat. Because the Siroco is no bigger than a laptop bag or briefcase, it goes wherever you do.
But the real magic of the Siroco is its tone. Made from the finest birch plywood, the Siroco comes standard with two beautiful birch front-plates (a 2 mm with rosewood veneer and 3 mm natural birch), and it has the punchy low-end, crisp highs, and feather light snare response of all of our top-of-the-line DG cajóns. It also comes equipped with the DG quick-release snare system for easy independent adjustment of the snare wires. Watch the videos below to see and hear the Siroco yourself, or play one at your local DG dealer.
	The mounting and dismounting operation takes less than a minute, and this amazing possibility does not affect the tonal qualities of the cajón, which are of the highest standard.
	Its specific dismounting compact core contributes containing resonance, thus making it the perfect cajòn for touring situations, with different stages and michrophones every night. It also features removable snare systems, so it is bringing in another useful maintenance option. Provided with a padded carry bag and an extra free sound board. Siroco, the most complete and versatile cajón on the market.

CAJÓN MAESTRAL

In another patented first from DG, we proudly present our flagship Maestral cajón- the world's first truly tunable cajón. Rather than using simple wood-screws to affix the front-plate to the body, the Maestral system uses 18 stainless-steel hex-bolts which screw into threaded brass inserts. The top 7 bolts also have counter-nuts to keep them at whatever tension you set them, no matter how hard you play. The Maestral system allows you to easily change front-plates in under 10 minutes to find the sound and look you want, even including custom printed front-plates.

The body of the Maestral is made from 9 mm first-quality birch plywood, and it comes standard with two interchangeable birch front-plates: one 2 mm and the other 2.5 mm.
The snare-system features two independently adjustable steel-core strings, along with 6 Velloc® overtone control strips.

Because of its outstanding tone and versatility, the DG Maestral has quickly developed a devoted following, being played by percussionists Paquito González and Poti Trujillo onstage with legends such as Vicente Amigo and the late maestro Paco de Lucía.
Watch the videos below to see how the DG Maestral will change the way you play cajón.
