The Drummer's Toystore, serving the needs of all drummers since 1992!
The Quijada, Spanish for “jawbone”, is a traditional Afro-Latin percussion instrument made from the dried jawbone of a donkey, horse, or mule. When struck or scraped, the loose teeth vibrate to create a loud, gritty rattling sound. A staple in Peruvian, Mexican, Cuban, and Afro-Peruvian music, the Quijada has been part of Latin American folk traditions for generations. Play it by striking the jawbone with your hand or scraping across the teeth like a güiro for a super unique texture.
Perfect for percussion collectors, studio players, educators, or anyone wanting to add authentic world percussion to their setup.
