I didn't know about such a percussion instrument until now, but I am pleasantly surprised by the possibilities it offers to imitate the percussion part of a song. I had to look for some tutorials on YouTube to better understand how to use it, and after that, it's just a matter of practice. I recommend this product to those interested.

OK I guess...

Verified Purchase

I just got mine yesterday, and spent a good part of yesterday evening playing with it and putting it through it’s paces. I wished there were some reviews of this before I bought it, but lacking any, I went ahead and took the risk. I also bought another identical cajon without the pedal the same day, on a lightening deal, as a gift for a friend…I wanted to put a quick review up so that there is at least one. I am also going to duplicate this review on the page for the pedal-less one. Keep in mind this is my first experience with a cajon.

I am an acoustic guitar player and wannabe drummer, and I purchased this item thinking it would make a serviceable playing stool with the added feature of being able to provide some percussion with my foot, which is always tapping while I play anyway. I also hope to use it when I am in impromptu acoustic jams to contribute a little drumming on songs I don’t know the chords to. I think it will still serve those purposes, but I have to say I am a little disappointed in the overall quality and sound of the cajon.

CONSTRUCTION/QUALITY:
To start with, despite the description that says it is solid Ash wood, the front is plywood with an ash veneer, and the back and sides are plywood as well….I guess that is OK, I’m sure you couldn’t really expect solid wood at this price point, but they could at least be more honest in their description. In the “main” picture it looks like it has nice, uniformly rounded corners….in reality it does not…they were sort of rounded with a sander, but it is not uniform and on mine there is a distinct edge on the top. If you look closely at the second picture depicting the sound hole on the back, you will see a slightly more realistic view of what the instrument is really like. Mine also has a prominent gouge on the front that was filled with epoxy. The “adjustable snare” system is extremely hokey. I’ll get into the sound attributes of it later, but the design and execution of it are rather poor…I have, to the best of my ability without dismantling it altogether, disabled it on mine and it is still creating some problems…more on the snares later….

The quality and ease of use of the carrying case is pretty nice. It is slightly padded to provide some protection and the whole front of it zips open to make it easy to get the cajon in and out. It also has shoulder straps so can backpack it with you on your climb to summit Mt Everest!!...or maybe just schlepping it to your jam sessions.

SOUND:
Not being very familiar with cajons, I can only compare the sound to what I heard on a few youtube videos I found while researching ....
In one particular video, the guy compares a number of various cajons of all types and price points. Nearly all of them had some degree of resonance…some more than others of course…this one would fall at the very low end of the spectrum I would say…I am disappointed in the amount of resonance. Even with the snares loosened all the way, it is very flat sounding, with no real “tone”. Struck nearer to the center, you do get a nice bass-ey thump, but rather flat with some rattle from the little beads that are part of the cheesey snare system. Struck nearer the top edge sounds like drumming on a desk or table top…there is no “ring”…just a dead “thwack”…

The snare system is not like any that I saw when researching…it is essentially thin strands of straight steel wire run bottom to top, along the inside surface of the front panel, and back to a block that can be moved up and down to adjust the tension by two allen head screws on the bottom (on the plus side the allen wrench is provided). There are also some beads hanging on wires tied to a vertical support brace..those are not affected by the adjustment. Near as I can determine, you tighten the wires up if you want it to sound horrible, and you loosen them up if you want it to sound terrible. Since the wires are contacting the entire length of the front panel, when they are engaged at all they have a severe dampening effect, which worsens the tighter you go…to the point where it no longer produces a bass sound at all….just a fuzzy “thwack”…sounds like beating on a shoe box…with the shoes in it. When they are loosened all the way (and you have to reach in and pull the wires away from the panel) to allow for any resonance, they still produce an annoying rattle…this is compounded by the beads. I wound up leaving mine disengaged as far as I could, and it sounds passable to my ear…not what I’d hoped for but passable…I will probably wind up clipping off the wires. It does not seem possible with this design to have both a resonant sound and a snare sound at the same time.

CAJON PEDAL:
The pedal that came with it was surprisingly good. Built more sturdy that the picture makes it appear. The name brand is “ChromaCast”. It is responsive and smooth, has plenty of adjustments for stuff like beater height and adjustable little spikes to dig into carpet…it also has Velcro hooks on the bottom to grip carpet. It comes with hardware that secures it to the cajon, and a tuning key and wrenches for the adjustments. The foam beater head produces a nice bass thump…not too sharp, not too dull… I really like the pedal.

BOTTOM LINE:
It will serve my purpose. I’m actually having fun with it, but I am somewhat disappointed, particularly in the snare system. Without any other personal cajon experience to compare it to, I’ll just say that , to me, it was probably worth the discount lightening deal price..albeit only barely. I am giving it three stars because of the price I paid and because of the pedal. it would only be two stars at full regular price.

Good beginner instrument

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 11, 2022

Size: Cajon with Carry BagColor: Birch Cajon with Carry BagVerified Purchase

I previously owned a German Schlagwerk cajon and when I donated it to our church, I found myself looking for an inexpensive instrument to replace it for my home. I tried 3 of the Amazon cajons that were under $130 and had received decent reviews: Meinl Cajon Box Drum with Internal Snares and FREE Bag (BC1NTWR), Sawtooth ST-CJ120B Cajon Birch Wood with Padded Seat Cushion and Carry Bag, and PylePRO PCJD18 String Cajon - Wooden Percussion Box, with Internal Guitar Strings, Full Size.

The Meinl has drum snares inside that are not removable (unlike my Schlagwerk) or adjustable. Sadly, this was a deal breaker for me as there was no way to adjust the snare sound. The cajon was well built and had a good carry bag.

The Sawtooth was by far the least expensive and also came with a carry bag and a pad for the seat. The pad was ridiculously thin and hard - and provided little if any cushion. The bag was a nice accessory and the cajon was well built. The bass on the cajon was not as deep and the snares were not as crisp as on the Pyle. The faceplate was thicker/heavier and affected the range of sound that I could get out of the instrument. I did turn the screws that adjust the internal guitar strings, but they didn’t make a huge amount of improvement to the richness of the bass & snares.

The PylePRO is my personal favorite based on sound. To be honest, the build quality is a bit less than the other cajons (edge above the faceplate could use better sanding) and it didn’t come with a carrying bag, but to me, the sound more closely emulates that of a drumset bass, snare and toms. The image on Amazon has recently changed and it now says “BlueBerry” on the drum face instead of PylePro - I’m glad I bought it when I did :-)

The most resonant cajon!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 9, 2023

Size: Cajon with Carry BagColor: Cedar Cajon with Carry BagVerified Purchase

Our grandson is a drummer and requested a cajon for Christmas. We didn't even know what that was. However, after watching videos and listening to various cajons being played, we felt this was the most resonant of all. When it arrived, it was also very attractive, and the carrying case was a bonus, as he can transport the cajon like a backpack. He is thrilled with it!

I ordered a birch Cajon for my son at Xmas - sent a ash without notice of the change....it cracked at the screw without much use at all. I returned and got the birch as I originally ordered - the sound the birch wood produces is far better, the Cajon is way deeper and richer sounding - there is a large white mark on the very front panel, looks like glue that wasn't cleaned off - don't expect much in quality control- however its in the finish and cant be removed without a refinishing. My son wasn't to worried and don't feel like sending another one back, and the sound is what counts so keeping it. I hope this one doesn't split or crack

Not a terrible Cajon but..

The bass is decent in this instrument but the snare is definitely lacking id say put out the extra money for a more prominent brand names Cajon if you are actually interested in playing .. Most branded Cajuns have full sets of snare this one literally has 4 snare could so unless you are smacking the snare directly you're not going to be getting that good sizzle guess it could be good to learn on but the snare is just an important part of the drum for me
