With the CAP200, Schlagwerk have completely redesigned the cajon pedal as we know it ? this coming from the company who broke the mold with the very first commercially available cajon pedal, the CAP100, some 10 years ago. The next-gen CAP200 succeeds the original model with a smoother play, a faster response, and a crazy dynamic range that would put even today's top kick pedals against the ropes. The CAP200's patented twin-cam design tailors response speed and attack on both ends of the pedal. This gives the CAP200 a very direct feel underfoot, despite it being a remote pedal. The PTFE-coated stainless steel Bowden cable feels extremely smooth and frictionless to play, which means you can emote freely without have to compensate for lag in the pedal. All the while, the CAP200's longboard design gives you the full footboard to explore for slide doubles and building dynamic contrast.

Patented twin-cam construction





Rotating cams on each side of Schlagwerk CAP200 cajon pedal ? both the footboard and beater ? transmit the full range of motion from the player's foot to the soundboard of the cajon. This means speed, contrast, and finesse you won't find on last-gen cajon pedals.





Dynamic longboard construction





Adding even greater range to the CAP200 is the longboard footboard. This design gives players the whole board to use for slide doubles and building dynamic contrast.





PTFE-coated Bowden cable





The heart and soul of every remote-style foot pedal lies in the quality of its cable. The Schlagwerk CAP200 relies on a top-quality stainless steel Bowden cable, coated in PTFE (Teflon) to eliminate drag, to create the ultimate cajon pedal experience.





Base plate and bag included





Gigging percussionists can rest a little easier with the CAP200 in tow. The pedal includes both a molded carry bag for safe storage and convenient transportation of your pedal, along with a cajon base that slips right in the back for transit. Looking for the ultimate in cajon pedal performance? Sweetwater percussionists agree: you'll find it in the Schlagwerk CAP200.
