XDrum Primero Cajon Negra including Bag (Snare Sound, Box Drum, Drum Box, Wood)

Well, I've been enjoying my new cajon for a few weeks now - it's the first one I've actually owned. (borrowed/tried a couple previously) First impressions - seemed a bit 'lightweight' but is sturdily constructed nevertheless and being light in weight is all the better for toting around. Carry bag likewise, but serves the purpose for carrying with ease and protecting from surface scratches and light knocks; obviously a padded bag would be preferable but included in the purchase price so really can't complain :) Love the vaguely Art Deco look (very 'me') and it is certainly eye-catching. It gets attention wherever I play it. Playing-wise it seems to have an incredible repertoire of sounds with great 'bass' and top end. Even the non-tapas surfaces are 'playable' too, including the top! The internal stringing gives a decent enough 'snare' effect. I have played it at open mics both acoustically and miked up and it has plenty of volume. All in all a very happy and satisfying purchase at a bargain basement price. Please note: the opinions expressed here are based on my own limited experience, however a friend (who is a professional drummer) is so impressed with it (envious) he is ordering one!!!

awesome instrument, I love it, kids love it, so easy to use, move and store, Wife hates how loud I can get it and as a first time user I didn't quite realise just how well it can sound and how different it can sound depending on where in the room you put it and what type of room you put it in, kitchen sounds awesome but beach is also cool, recommended to a couple of drummer friends who have rigidly stuck with the full kit, they are mega impressed too, and for how cheap you can buy one, the quality is second to none.

My wife wanted a drum kit. Not exactly practical in our house. So I got her this beautiful cajon instead. It's brilliant. It makes a noise. You can sit on it. It's a coffee table when not in use. I'm guessing we could even use it as a bird box on the side of the house. It's that good. We are really pleased with our bird box / cajon. Brilliant value. Highly recommended and so versatile

So this is an interesting one. I read the description and thought there was a snare inside? Apparently not but there is a hook? What for, who knows and I tried to look! It was missing an Allen key, the seller never got back to me. I don't even know why you'd need an Allen key as there is no place to use it and trust me I have looked. Apart from that, we have it as for family percussion as we are all musical. Its sturdy to sit on and doesn't wobble. The instruction book isn't bad but could be better. The packaging was great and there is obviously no assembly. I just wish they would make it clear about the snare and what the hook inside is for?

Great sound, arrived earlier than expected and it looks gorgeous too. Anyone looking to get their first time cajon or is simply looking for an affordable yet good sound this is it!!! BUY IT!!

Great instrument, looks really nice, had a great sound and came equipped with a tool and a book to familiarise yourself with the drum. Bag was also great quality.

Never expected such pathetic quality product from Amazon. Attached the pictures too. Seems like it was already used

It was very well priced. The sound it great. It comes with a travel bag which is of good quality. I would recommend this product to anyone! Love it!!

Ersteinmal "nur" zwei sterne... preis fand ich genau richtig- hoffe, es hält, was es verspricht. Und der zweite stern für diee pünktliche lieferung. Alles andere werde ich noch bewerten... da es ein geschenk für meine tochter ist. :) meine tochter ist superhappy, verarbeitung top, qualität des cajon und sound super, ebenso qualität der tasche. Gerne wieder. Preis leistung genial

Très beau produit pour d&buter et son sympa.

Vi do un mio parere. Suono da quando ho sei anni. Ho iniziato con la batteria e nel tempo ho lavorato con tutto il mondo delle percussioni. Nonostante la mia esperienza, confesso che ero molto scettico su questo cajon: il prezzo era davvero basso e temevo di ritrovarmi con uno strumento poco curato, magari “giocattoloso”. Invece mi sono completamente ricreduto. Il suono è la prima cosa che mi ha colpito: molto caldo e profondo sulle basse, con frequenze che si aggirano tra i 60 e gli 80 Hz quando si colpisce il centro del pannello frontale (la tapa), simulando in maniera davvero convincente una cassa acustica. Le alte frequenze, invece, emergono in modo brillante e definito sui lati (dove si va a emulare il rullante), con una risposta intorno ai 2.5–5 kHz. Queste frequenze donano quella sonorità frizzante tipica delle corde interne, che in questo cajon sono fatte davvero bene e rispondono con precisione. Un’altra cosa che ho apprezzato molto è la costruzione: la tapa frontale non è particolarmente spessa, ma proprio per questo lo strumento risponde bene al tocco. Il cajon non va suonato con forza, ma con tecnica e sensibilità, e in questo modello le vibrazioni si distribuiscono in modo uniforme su tutta la superficie, cosa per nulla scontata, specialmente in questa fascia di prezzo. L’unico piccolo difetto, se così vogliamo chiamarlo, è la vernice nera: sui bordi, con l’uso nel tempo tende a venir via leggermente. Personalmente non lo considero un problema, anzi! secondo me dona quel look un po’ vissuto e autentico che noi musicisti amiamo tanto. Ultima nota positiva: inclusa nella confezione c’è anche una sacca per il trasporto. Non è particolarmente imbottita, ma se la trattate con cura fa il suo dovere, anche perché conosco Xdrum da diverso tempo ed ha sempre saputo costruire strumenti affidabili nonostante il prezzo. In sintesi: mi ha davvero sorpreso, partivo con basse aspettative e invece è diventato uno strumento che uso regolarmente, sia in studio che nei live acustici ed anche in conservatorio. Lo consiglio a chiunque cerchi un cajon economico ma capace di restituire emozione e qualità sonora! Bravi ragazzi!

Son vraiment très très très moyens on ne sait pas différencier les frappes pas de groove , sonnait mieux dans la vidéo, préférer un modèle un peu plus onéreux ce ne sera pas des sous perdus! Parfait pour un débutant toutes percussions confondues, certes, PAS DU TOUT pour un habitué des percussions comme moi, il sera déçu je pense en grande majorité, c'est mon cas. plaque avant trop fine. Beaucoup trop fine on a peur de passer au travers. Pour le prix c'est normal, mais c'est vraiment pour les débutants pas certains d'arriver à gérer les frappes du jeu au cajon ses subtilités sonores ou aimer cette percussion, ben avec celui ci encore moins! Pour enfants je dirai c'est tout et encore, pour un percussionniste qui connait déjà son touché tapez plus haut directement dans le budgets, manque de de profondeur et donc presque pas de différenciation claire des différentes frappes, sonne trop clair tout court brouillon, je trouve! Après sur les rocks etc, ça fait plus batterie mais de petite toute petite facture hélas, ce après plusieurs réglages différents, rien n'y fait c'est un mauvais cajon qui gâche justement la subtilité de cette percussion, je déconseille fortement. Mauvaise finition, vis fragiles etc, du vleck comme on dit chez nous

Très bien pour mon usage
