Meinl PercussionJumbo Bass Subwoofer Cajon Instrument - Big Drum Box with 2 Forward Projecting Sound Ports - Playing Surface Walnut (SUBCAJ5WN)

I like the low end punch of the bass and the snappy, satisfying snare crack. It's a bit bigger and heavier than a regular cajon, and the only bag that fits is the meinl bass cajon case, so beware of the extra size, I researched everything to find a cheaper case, but it's the only one. It's a great case, but the cajon is so well made and thick, it's not going to be damaged in transit. Great percussion instrument, very professional sounding and looking.

The media could not be loaded. Superb drum with a booming bass.It's tall so check the measurements. I'm 5ft 6" and it's fine. If I was an inch or two shorter I'd struggle.Two crucial adjustments (in my opinion) are needed to get the perfect sound from it.1. Remove the face plate and GENTLY bend the snares towards the face plate direction. Place a finger near where they attach to avoid strain on the solder and just add a little extra curvature. This will give a much needed boost to the snare sound (which is a touch weak out of the box).2. While it's opened up, drop a tea towel/T shirt in the box. This takes the boom out of the bass with no impact to the volume. This gives a nice "thuddy" bass and takes reverberation out of the snare... Dryer, crisper sound.Perfect.Great fun to play. If you have a good sense of rhythm you'll really enjoy this instrument.I've been a hobby drummer for years (along side my professional instrumental playing) and I've picked it up instantly.It is expensive... But all instruments are these days.I was shocked to see how much a poor quality digital keyboard costs these days. Even a small xylophone will set you back £150+ at the moment.So relatively it's okay price wise but there are cheaper (less exciting) one's available.Most importantly it sounds great... The video is from before I improved the sound... So sounds even better now.

Cajon is a beauty and delivery after payment was prompt.

Lovely big boomy cajon, just what I was looking for.My only gripe was that our of the box the snares were making a bit of a twangy (for want of a better description) noise. I followed the advice of another reviewer and adjusted them (carefully).

Great deep sound.This is quite big and tall and probably best suited for teenager/adult. However, my 10 year olds play it well although they do bend over a bit.Holes on front project the sound better and loudly. Well received with compliments during street party even being played by complete novice.It has quite a hard plastic feel to the casing, heavy duty. Makes a good stool too!

This product is used in our church by trained professionals. we find it used at times to use is instead of the drums when we have less musical instruments accompanying a service. This can also be used to train our young ones.

Good sound overall, quality product

Bought for my son. He was thrilled, amazing sound, easy to use.
