Meinl Percussion TMSTCP Direct Drive Cajon Pedal

Well its really got the right distance for foot and it is adjustable. Everything is adjustable. There are two things that don't like is the thin padding for the base that attaches the cajon. Needs more so to not damage the cajon. Back of cajon clamp could have a long angle across the whole bottom edge with padding to keep from one place being damaged. Also the petal foam is flat not curved. It makes a flat ringy sound not a pillow in the kick base sound. All could be fixed with rubber tape and gauze rapped in sports tape for petal beater. Besides that it is made well. Strong. I like it very much. Would buy it again. Daniel

Il Pedale arriva ben imballato e privo di danni. Anche i pezzi all'interno sono imballati singolarmente. È Ben verniciato e ha un aspetto robusto e durevole, spero non sia solo un impressione. Il montaggio è semplice e comporta pochissimi passaggi, tuttavia l'impressione al termine del montaggio è che il battente sia troppo lontano dalla tapa del cajon. Non è così. La distanza è quella giusta e la funzionalità è precisa e corretta. Unico neo riscontrato finora, nell'utilizzo Si separa il pedale seppur stretto a dovere dalla staffa ancorata al cajon. Inizia quindi a lavorare storto e deve essere allentato riallineato e ristretto. Temo che queste operazioni ripetute X volte portino alla rottura della vite di ancoraggio o al precoce logorio del fissaggio. Il mio giudizio complessivo al momento è buono,lo consiglierei.

Das Produkt entsprach nicht meiner Erwartung.

I will tell you this, I would not invest serious money into a cable drive cajon pedal. 5 hours of actual playing time on it and the cable snapped. Playing fully acoustic material, so not playing hard and no longevity at all. Attempted to contact Meinl a week ago and still no response. I finally contacted Amazon and they are taking the pedal back with a full refund... now that's product support. After some online research, discovering Meinl does not have a very good reputation when it comes to some of there hardware. I own a Meinl cajon as well and love the instrument. I will be sticking to established drum hardware makers in the future, will likely be moving to DW like the rest of my pedals. It's sad when a company know for this type of percussion instruments cannot manufacture hardware to support the other products. Very Disappointed.

Worth the investment! Bought it for Rs.17,000 in 2018.
