The Toca Cajon with Ash Front Plate is crafted with a beautiful siam oak body and high quality North American ash wood front plate. It features fixed internal snares for a crisp responsive sound and a padded seating surface for playing comfort. Toca is committed to being green and environmentally-friendly. The wood they use is harvested from a plantation in Thailand, where their drums are then lathed and handcrafted by local musicians. This carefully managed resource is much easier on the environment than wood taken from primary forests.
