Meinl Percussion Jam Cajon Box Drum with Snare and Bass Tone for Acoustic Music — Made in Europe — Baltic Birch Wood, Play with Your Hands, 2-Year Warranty (JC50LBNT)

Very happy with this Cajon. Durable, Playability is amazing, great sound,looks great,light weight, deep bass tone,good sounding snare.A great value for the money.

Great sound love it!

I'm not a drummer by any means, but it sounds good. Also it is really pretty.

Works well, beautifully made, but too small. Works well for someone who is smaller than 5:10.

This instrument produces a great sound. The quality of the build is excellent. Even the leg pads are screwed into the wood ensuring it's long-term use. Other models only have stick ons. Great product for the value!

This box drum is compact, crisp, and well-made. The craftsmanship is minimalist and beautiful. I can play it during the day without worrying about disturbing the neighbors, which is a plus. It is perfectly useful for small settings: at home, performance venue, or church worship service. Most importantly for us, it is toddler friendly! My toddler enjoys slapping this drum and hearing sounds. It is light and easily transportable, with rounded edges on all sides. I can sit on this drum 2 ways (with the drum placed vertically or horizontally on the floor) and jam away. While I am reading with my toddler on her desk, I can adjust the height of my seat (the box drum) by either placing it vertically or horizontally on the floor, making it incredibly versatile for me to accommodate my toddler's growing height. It is a fabulous little drum and I am glad that I took the plunge!

This is a cool instrument. I have very little experience with cajon(es?) but wanted to give one a go, so I ordered this on a whim. For the price I don't think you could possibly go wrong. It has a medium-depth bass tone and a convincing snare. There's enough play on the surface where you can vary the tone a bit by moving your hand positions around. I live in an apartment and you can activate the snare while playing fairly quietly, but you can also really get some volume out of it by letting loose. You can also get a nice clacky sound from the side panels - I don't know what drum it would correspond with. Maybe a snare with the rattle disengaged.My biggest concern is that the cajon itself is very lightweight. It holds my body weight but I'm only about 130 pounds. It would definitely hold a bigger person without breaking but I am also worried about bumping it against hard items and stuff because I don't think the wood would resist much damage. At 5'9" I am probably on the upper end of those who can sit on the box without feeling like they are doing some deep squatting. On the bright side, the lightness means it is very easy to carry without getting tired or feeling awkward (that's why it's a "jam" cajon, right?).It's an attractive piece, too, and I would be perfectly happy displaying it / leaving it out in a room.There aren't too many instruments that offer such a fantastic price-to-versatility ratio, so if you're waffling, just go ahead and enjoy this.

We bought this for a gift for my younger son who is already a drummer, but wanted to expand a bit. Nice tone, and well sized for a kid. However, despite a sealed and completely undamaged box (this was not shipping damage!) it had a mashed corner as shown in the photo, so some quality control issues. Dropped at the factory. He wanted to play his gift, so didn't want to wait, and it clearly didn't impact tone, so we kept it, but be aware you may get something that should have never have left the factory.
