The Peruvian íon is an interchangeable drum head designed for your Iconic Cajon, paying homage to the cajón's Peruvian origins. This íon captures the essence of the instrument's humble beginnings, when inverted wooden boxes and containers were used to mimic the sounds of traditional drums.

Crafted from natural birch wood, the Peruvian íon is meticulously designed to harmonize with the front plate of your Iconic Cajon, ensuring a cohesive and balanced sound. Birch wood was chosen for its excellent tonal properties and its ability to produce a clear and articulate sound.

The Peruvian íon is renowned for producing an impressively clear ‘pop’ when struck, a characteristic sound that is essential for authentic Peruvian cajón playing. Its exceptional sensitivity allows it to respond beautifully to even the lightest of touches, making it ideal for nuanced and delicate playing styles.

It's important to note that the Peruvian íon is the most sensitive drum head in our range. Even the slightest contact is sufficient to produce an exceptional sound quality, allowing for a wide range of dynamic expression. Excessive force is strongly discouraged, as it can compromise the íon's delicate response and potentially damage the wood.
