DXP CAJON DRUM KICK PEDAL HEAVY DUTY BLACK METAL BASE PLATE DXPCP20

Description

Expanding the rhythmic capabilities of a solo performer, the DXP DXPCP20 is a heavy-duty cajon drum kick pedal designed to free up a percussionist’s hands. By allowing the player to trigger low-end bass tones with their foot, this pedal effectively transforms a standard cajon into a compact drum kit alternative.

It fits seamlessly into the setups of acoustic guitarists, solo singers, and multi-instrumentalists who need to maintain a steady backbeat while playing other instruments. Utilizing a flexible cable-drive system, the DXPCP20 allows for versatile placement, meaning the footboard can be positioned comfortably alongside microphone stands and pedalboards. The heavy-duty black metal base plates ensure the entire assembly remains firmly grounded during energetic live performances, making it a reliable hardware choice for musicians building a hybrid acoustic percussion setup.

Who Is This For?

This pedal is purposefully built for acoustic solo artists, singer-songwriters, and buskers who want to incorporate a driving bass drum sound into their performances. It is perfect for multi-instrumentalists requiring hands-free percussion, enabling them to play guitar or keys while maintaining a consistent, rhythmic cajon groove underneath.

Key Features

Flexible Cable-Drive Mechanism

The pedal utilizes a thick, responsive cable to connect the footboard to the striking beater assembly. This flexible routing allows performers to position the foot pedal exactly where they need it, working effortlessly around guitar pedalboards, microphone stand bases, and stool legs. The smooth cable action ensures that the player’s foot technique translates directly into accurate, dynamic strikes on the cajon’s faceplate.

Heavy-Duty Metal Base Plates

Both the remote footboard and the main beater assembly are mounted on thick, black metal base plates. This substantial weight and rigid construction prevent the pedal from creeping forward or shifting sideways during aggressive playing. Performers can strike the pedal with confidence, knowing the hardware will remain securely anchored to the floor or stage carpet throughout the entire set.

Specialized Soft Foam Beater

The DXPCP20 features a rounded, soft foam beater specifically designed for striking thin wooden cajon faceplates. Unlike hard felt or plastic drum set beaters which can damage the instrument, this foam head draws out a deep, warm bass tone without risking structural cracks. It provides a wide surface area contact that mimics the sound of a human palm striking the lower portion of the cajon.

Adjustable Cajon Clamp

The beater assembly includes a dedicated mounting bracket that clamps securely to the bottom edge of the cajon. This ensures the striking mechanism remains at the optimal distance and angle relative to the striking surface. The clamp mechanism is designed to hold the instrument tightly without gouging the wood, providing a stable, unified connection between the hardware and the drum.
