A Cajon Packed with Electronic Sounds

The Roland EC-10 EL Cajon enhances your music with layered electronic sounds. In addition to top-notch acoustic sounds, the EC-10 EL Cajon is packed with 30 electronic kits with traditional percussion instruments like tambourines and snares, and out-of-this-world electronic drums and sound effects. Studio-optimized cajon sounds supplement the EC-10 EL Cajon's natural acoustic sounds, imbuing your performances with incredible depth and punch. The EC-10 EL Cajon is self-contained. It allows for up to 12 hours of playing time on six AA batteries. The Roland EC-10 EL Cajon is a unique, versatile percussion instrument!

Roland EC-10 EL Cajon at a Glance:
  • Top-notch acoustic sounds combined with a Roland sound module
  • Straightforward controls make performing easy and natural
  • Battery-powered w/ built-in speaker for all-in-one performance
Top-notch acoustic sounds combined with a Roland sound module

Already a top-notch acoustic instrument in its own right, the Roland EC-10 EL Cajon is loaded with a Roland sound module, providing you with a massive palate of sounds. You can supplement your rhythms with a layered tambourine and djembe, create a backbeat with acoustic or electronic snare sounds, or add low-end drama with an electronic kick. Enhance the EC-10 EL Cajon's natural sounds with studio-optimized cajon sounds. At Sweetwater, we're impressed by the realistic touch response provided by the EC-10 EL Cajon's quality sapele playing surface and independent head and edge sensors.

Straightforward controls make performing easy and natural

The Roland EC-10 EL Cajon's sound controls are top-mounted for quick access. Dedicated buttons scroll through sounds categories, while other buttons select individual instruments. A rear-mounted Volume knob controls your electronic sounds' levels, and a Trigger Balance knob adjusts the balance between head and edge sensors. Trigger sensitivity is also easily tweakable.

Battery-powered w/ built-in speaker for all-in-one performance

Just like a traditional cajon, the Roland EC-10 EL Cajon is self-contained and easily portable. An integrated amplifier and speaker deliver high-quality sound that's loud enough for acoustic gigs, and six AA batteries powers the EC-10 EL Cajon for up to 12 hours. An Electronic Sound Out jack lets you connect the EC-10 EL Cajon to a PA system for larger performances. A Mix In jack allows you to connect your smartphone or iPod for backing tracks or break music. Of course, you can always turn off the electronics for a traditional cajon experience!

  • Hybrid acoustic/electronic cajon enhances your music
  • Top-notch acoustic cajon sounds from a quality sapele playing surface
  • Packed with 30 electronic kits with traditional and electronic sounds
  • Supplement your natural acoustic sounds with studio-optimized cajon sounds
  • Integrated amplifier and coaxial speaker for all-in-one performance

We gave our band's drummer an EC-10 cajon

We purchased an EC-10 for our worship team's drummer. It was a real hit. (pun not intended)

He had made himself a beautiful cajon but built it too tall for both of his feet to reach the floor. He was over the moon excited when we gave him the EC-10 and that was before he got a chance to get it home unbox it and dig into the electronic voicings. He's usually quiet and reserved but he was so overwhelmed he had to give us hugs when he brought it into our next rehearsal night to show it off to the rest of the band.

Thanks Sweetwater for making that moment possible.

Great Customer service

Called us to make sure everything was as planned, who does that any more! Followed up with an email. The product was just what we thought, not cheap, but excellent quality!

First cajon for me but love it!

I love the variety of sounds on the fly. I have only been playing for about a month. I am impressed how long the batteries last also.
Rated 4.5/5

Absolutely Delighted with this cajon

Personal disclaimer: I am not a professional drummer, and I have limited experience with the cajon. That being said, I think my drummer buddies would enjoy this, but I don't think it would replace anything in their current set up. But for me, this is perfect. I can jam with friends without needing a full set up, still be heard, and have a LOT of fun effects to contribute. I love that it runs on battery too.

In more skilled hands, this cajon could do well on stage, but it will still need a mic if you don't use the effects. The electronic output is for the electronic effects only.

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Melissa Behling

I have been producing music in both professional recording studios and at home for the past few years and have always used electronic drums in my tracks. The Cajon EC-10 by Roland is a user-friendly option that let's me add a variety of tones to my music in a fun way. This instrument is so versatile it has opened up a new creative world for me.

Patrick Lantz

The Roland EL Cajon is the most fun instrument I own. For starters, it plays wonderfully, and there are tons of great sounds onboard that I can use for all kinds of music. I love that it's battery powered, so I can take it camping or pretty much anywhere, and the sound quality is always excellent. The onboard speaker easily keeps up with acoustic instruments, but I also like playing my EL Cajon onstage, where I can plug into an amp or the PA and get all the volume I need.

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
