collapse expand iconDescription

The Meinl Turbo Cabasas is a hand percussion innovation that provides significantly more volume and projection than a standard cabasa. With sound ports built into the resonating chamber, the Turbo Cabasas allow a crisp, full tone to cut through any mix. Meinl's classic cabasa design gets an upgrade with a ribbed stainless steel cylinder and stainless steel beads, now with the added ability to overcome other instruments in a live setting or studio environment. The Turbo Cabasas bring cabasa-style rhythms to the forefront and are available in three sizes to suit any musical need./p>

Sound Ports Send Sound Soaring

While a traditional cabasa relies on the vibration of beads over a textured surface to produce sound, the Meinl Turbo Cabasas utilize strategically placed sound ports in their resonating chambers to significantly boost volume and projection. These ports allow the full, bright tone of the beads and cylinder to escape freely, cutting through dense mixes and reaching the back of any venue. For players needing a cabasa that can compete with a full drum set or loud instrumentation, the Turbo Cabasas are the solution.

Choose Your Size for the Perfect Sound

With small, medium and large options available, percussionists can find a Meinl Turbo Cabasa tailored to their musical needs. The small Turbo Cabasa offers a tight, articulate sound suited to delicate musical settings. The medium provides a versatile and balanced tone for most applications. For maximum volume and a wider range of tones, the large Turbo Cabasa is ideal for overcoming a full drum set or loud electric instrumentation in a band context.
