I bought one and its great! If you want the John Bonham big drum sound, this is not for you. But, if you want something small for a light gigging and practice, this is perfect, with some modification, see below. First, let me point out the benefits that offset the negatives.... 1. It is compact and fits in a gig bag that you can literally wear like a backpack. You can lug all your gear in 1 trip, no back and forth to the car. That is super beneficial for drummers that gig a lot in big cities where parking is a nightmare. 2. It is about half the DB level of an average kit. Great for garage practice. It is perfect for small gigs. I am middle aged and I realized over a decade ago that no one at the dive bar cares about your Marshall half stack or the drummers 17 piece kit. Diming your amp because your drummer plays a 30 inch ride cymbal and a 14x8 snare just turns people off. Playing a smaller kit, smaller amps for small gigs is way better. Even if you play a bigger venue, they mic everything anyway and the sound guys make you turn down..... try playing a 100 watt tube amp at level 1.....sounds like shit. 5-15 watt amp you can dime and still make the sound guy happy. 3. You're not hogging up all the practice space with your damn drums. I modified it to get more depth for a rock sound. It was pretty easy. There are no resonate heads which gives it a very flat sound, like paper. So here is what I did.... The shells are about 2-3 inches in depth and kind of float. 1. I removed the thin heads it came with and, bought some new good heads 2. For the tom I took out the shell, placed the old thin head on the bottom to act as a resonate head and put the new head on the top. Put the shell back in, floating on the edge of the resonate head. Put the hardware back on and hey!! it worked!! piccolo
@@chasduster I got my mine on ebay. It was being sold by the manufacturer in Brazil. Pretty cool kit. I live in a condo complex and have a detached garage outside. So I need a small kit for practice and recording. I didn't expect much, but was pleasantly suprised by how it sounds. I put on some Remo Ambassadors and tuned the tom down to low. The snare is my biggest issue though. Its very thin and small. The snare is built with no resonate head and the snare wire touches the top of the snare. What I did was screw in a 50 wire to the bottom and attached thin clear a resonate to the bottom and then put a Remo Ambassador on the top. Doesnt sound great, but it works. Sounds kind of Iike an over muffled piccolo snare. There are 10x4 snares out there if you want a better snare sound.
@@chasduster sorry I dont. I checked my past purchases and it just says item no longer available. You might want to try messaging them. www.cajon.com.br/en/contact/#
Great design. Sounds need worked on, but given it‘s design that would be incredibly difficult to create. My suggestion would be to make the same thing but have digital sound that is much more realistic. Or have an amp connected that can enhance the sound. It sounds very basic and flat, sounds like it would be used in a trap song that relies on some sort of canned bass boosted vst to rely on a better sound.
The pearl rhythm travellers is one of the best portable kits you can get, they are tiny and produce near studio quality and not to mention they are designed in such a way that you can stack each drum underneath eachother for easy travel
Tired of lugging around that travel kit? Well now you can lug a travel kit build from a cajon. It’s just as convenient but sounds like an orange crate.
Let's make a video of extreme close ups that shows everything, the sticks, the guys nuts, the top of the drum heads, the bass pedal beater.... everything except the gigbox.
Look for everyone cutting this Kit down. it is made to be played in very small spaces like a Cocktail Kit. So when you have a small trio and doing Jazz or easy listening guitar and need some backup this will work out just fine in the venue you are playing. It sounds way better in a tight setting.
I don’t care about the sound, I care about getting the song under my hands. I have real kits if I was that worried about sound. I need something that doesn’t take up space. This fits that.
I'm 60 years old probably way out of touch from playing guitar since I was eight I don't know I wouldn't mind having one in my home studio for a guy to sit in while we do some work how do I get one

Ok a few things, I get that this is a practice item or for busking but that snare height is super low, I'm also a south-paw does this come left-handed? What does this retail for?
@@cajonpercussion1973 many thanks for the heads up! I'm temporarily retired but I know a guy that that has a musical suppliers and that would be of interest to him! Again thanks
I thought this was just for practice, but they're marketing it like it could be a performance kit. I guess if you can't get your snare rolls going, it'd be perfect-lol. My opinion, keep the set, but I'll take the shirt if those are for sale... love the brand's actual cajons.
Instead of this just convert a floor tom into a Kick and clamp a 10" snare onto the hi-hat stand. Use an Evans Emad head on the kick and you can get some meeeannn attack
For that sound, you could just carry buckets. But if you're gonna carry all that gear, you might as well carry a small kit instead. That would actually sound good.

DustyCowdog an old suit case which you can use as bass drum that fits basspedal, hh and snare is ultimate solution I've seen for years.,) Affordable & practical
I absolutely tense up, face turns red, and I lose sense of control over words and sentences I say, every single time any other musician other than a drummer or percussionist mentions a Cajon or asks me if they get me in the band would I have the money to buy one immediately. I bristle at the thought for the simple fact, every Tom, Dick, and Harry out there thinks that's the most original idea ever for drummers. I 100% refuse with prejudice, to entertain any mention of using or buying a Cajon. I will not ever use, or buy anything related to drums or percussion that any other musician other than a drummer, mentions or acts as if, or wants, expects me to go out and get/buy in order to "sound original." While I'm at it, why doesn't the guitarist go buy a broomstick guitar, or the vocalist grab a bass harmonica, or sing without a mic too.

Odd...........my niece's hello kitty drums sound exactly like this............and cost nowhere near as much
With the same amount of effort they used to try to make this kit sound good, your nieces kit would probably sound better tbh
Your niece’s drums are really expensive. I got one of those and it was 44,000,000 dollars!
It’s called Latin music
Probably last longer aswel mate

Lol... true but still cool though
It’s compact , that’s the point less to carry

Exactly, or a portable electronic drum set. Lol

Yes
Out of tune

Sounded like complete garbage!
Yup

As a Brazilian, this sound like Samba, and Samba percussion are supposed to sound like this.

Dope for at home practicing, especially if you’re trying to keep the noise down. I may have to grab this.
dude this sounds like ass, just get an electric kit for quieter practice.
I don’t care about the sound, I care about getting the song under my hands. I have real kits if I was that worried about sound. I need something that doesn’t take up space. This fits that.
Beautiful , love from srilanka ❤️🇱🇰
I realy like this Item,
I want to know , where can I buy This'
I think you can find most of the parts for it in any dumpster around your neighborhood
Kind of defeats the purpose of a cajon, doesn’t it?
If you want a compact set just play buckets lol.
I got my buckets for free out of the trash...
Omg you actually do!!!
Jajajajajaja lol
😂😂😂 yaa buckets n tin cans would probably sound better...
For real
Seems like it should just be used for practice.

It looks like it takes up way more space then a regular jungle kit with just high hat snare ride cymbal and 16 inch kick .

Not really even for a marching band.

What is the instrument called ...pls reply
What kind of cymbals are they
You have to mic it up to match the cymbal volume. Can't see the point
If your a god tier drummer you can make this thing sound good too.
Cadê o link para comprar parceiro?
I actually see how this could be useful, like if one were street busking or playing an acoustic set idk. Sounds very bossa nova-y.
Where did the floor tom come out from??
I wonder how easy this thing is to transport.
The kick sounds pretty decent. If the snare sounded more like a snare, it'd probably excuse the also not great sounding tom. Cool idea tho
