I've been playing for a year now, Pearl Percussion, she's got a sizzling snare, and a big swinging bottom on her. Coupled with a foot Tambo and a couple cymbals/stands, I can get damn near a full-kit sound out of it. I'm pretty decent, I've done gigs, I've got songs out there, but I'm still learning, and your videos have been more than helpful.
Hi! I have been playing for over 10 years, although I'm not a regular gigging musician or anything, and I'm not even a real drummer/percussionist (I'd be considered a keyboard player). I'll sometimes play it in church when they need percussion, or at camp fires or retreats or other small performances. I have a Meinl Headliner and a Gon Bops flamenco cajon. I haven't played much for the past few years but have decided to work on improving or changing techniques. Or maybe even relearn, because it's obvious I have some bad habits. First thing is trying to get my Meinl headliner to sound good again, because it was in storage in Germany for the past 4 years and sounds real. Thank you for your videos!
I'm all for supporting local music stores but I find that most have a very limited selection of all the same corporate cajon makers that dominate internet search results. For the same money you can get a great sounding, locally made cajon that is unique and doesn't involve trans-oceanic shipping.
hi @@nanuqcz Here is a video with 2 types of cajon. Snare cajons and Flamenco cajons. The peruvian is not easy to find but I do it soon ;) ruclips.net/video/3xl7mwSJZN8/видео.html
Great videos, thanks. I've looked at a lot of stuff but still can't decide on the best cajon for my rock, pop,blues band for pub venues (amplified). Liking good bass n treble separation. What about Meinl with mic sensors built in? Any advice from existing players like me would be welcome, thanks. 👍
Have you tried/reviewed Kopf Percussion S Series HANDCRAFTED here in the United States? They make them with Birch and sound fantastic! They produce them from start to finish ALL under one roof in ONE location.
Also how should it sound, what is the ideal sounding cajon, a lot of people make cajons but getting the right sound is key. Must not be too bass and not too much treble. Would it be possible to guide on that?
Thanks for you question. This is very personal I think, each player will look for the sound that is more appealing to them. Ideal sound is very difficult to say. Depending on the style I need to play I will choose a different type of cajon. Of course you can get better quality Cajons that will probably produce a better sound. But in my opinion you need to play and listen the one that pleases you more according to the style you play.
Would you please make a review about cajon made by pearl especially the primero cajon music town usa because I really interested in it but I want to know your point of view about this cajon. Regard from Indonesia. 🙏😃
Hi Jay! Have a look on my reviews here on the channel, the subwoofer cajon can be a good option for worship music. You can find this reviews and others in the reviews playlists 😉
My idea is to play a Bass-Cayon with an acoustic Bass Guitar (which I already play). I slapp a Bass Guitar for a Snare-Sound (which I already do) and use a meinl cayon-pedal in order to play the Bass & Drum section for a cover-band. What do you think of this idea?
¡Muchas gracias por este video, y sus recomendaciones! I've been a percussion player my whole life, and I'm much more interested in playing hand drums than drums that require sticks to play. I think I'm going to prefer snare cajons to start out, since they will have a sound similar to a drumset. I'll be able to get an acoustic sound that's still similar to a drumset, all with the comfort of playing with my hands. Awesome video again - thank you so much!
Hi there, thanks for your question. Have you seen my review of the Jumbo Subwoofer? It might be a good option - ruclips.net/video/-1yLbsZghB8/видео.html
Hi! Thanks for your message. I think nowadays most of the Cajons are strong enough to support any persons weight. I would recommend the Meinl Cajons because are the ones I’m currently playing and testing everyday. I’ve never played the MT box, I can’t say much.
So I am still unsure about what type of cajon to look for. The worship team at my church is asking me to play for them. All the worship team has right now is a singer, a guitarist, and a pianist but they all have problems with keeping rhythm and said that the drum would help them a lot. It is a very small church so I’m not too worried about how much sound it will produce and I’m probably gonna be doing simple grooves for now. Any suggestions on what type of cajon to get? (They mainly play hymns)
Hii Bro I'm a beginner and I selected to go on with Clapbox Cajons.But I'm very Confused To Select the Models in It. So,here I want your Help If you can...just Suggest a model in Clapbox Cajons and I'm looking for Snare Cajon...👍
Hi, unfortunately I can’t help you with that because I’ve never play a clapbox cajon. I would suggest you a Meinl Snare craft cajon, very affordable and very good sound. Check the review here - ruclips.net/video/22QzgwhIO5w/видео.html
I love the meinl mini Cajon that sounds great & can be stored easy especially when I have LP Giovanni galaxy & Aspire congas yeah total of 6 congas,LP Giovanni galaxy bongos,meinl woodcraft zebra finish bongos,meinl marathon series bongos plus have meinl mini bongos, & LP mini djembe so the meinl mini Cajon will fit perfectly for me!
Thank you for another awesome video. I purchased mine online. The difficulty there is that you rarely hear a good sample done acoustically. Even though I've got a Guitar Center down the street - they have very few samples on the floor to try. I wound up taking a couple back for exchange. As a beginner - I decided on the Mienl subwoofer jumbo bass cajon. 🤙
Dear Cajon Master, I wonder about kid's cajon vs. adult's cajon. Will you tell us a little about the difference between them, please? Thanks in advance. Subscribed and liked.
A standard cajon has 50cm height. For kids I suggest to get the the Jam Cajon from Meinl that has 37cm height. This is a good option and also with a good price: Jam Baltic Birch JC50AB-B: Amazon - geni.us/QF58E Sweetwater US - imp.i114863.net/x9x1OR Thomann EU - thmn.to/thoprod/429891?offid=...
Thank you for the information! I'm planning to start playing Cajon soon, so I'm a beginner. But I don't know how to choose between the Snare or Flamenco type. I like the sound of strings in percussion while playing this is why I want either of them. Can you tell us more about the differences between these two types please, it will help me decide which one to buy. Very appreciated, Thank you so much ❤
Hi! thanks for your message. I'm glad to know you are going to start learning the cajon, this is great! I suggest that you watch my reviews where you can see some snare and flamenco cajons to then hear the difference and pick your favourite. Here is the reviews playlist - ruclips.net/p/PL7ywwJyHBakS7IpcrPVfFtI0PNmbLHYTj Let me know if you need any help in this beginning, I will be happy to help 😉

Thanks so much for all you provide on these reviews. I just purchased a Meinl Subwoofer Jumbo bass cajon. I like it but my family says there isn't enough high end and the snare is unbalanced. I'm not sure about the composite (particle board) cabinet. I think it just does not have full range of tone from low to high. Therefore I am looking at the Meinl 2 in 1 cajon with the throw off switch. I just have never played one and can't find one within 90 miles of me. (I live in a mountain community with no music stores.) I would like your advice on these two Cajons and suggestions of other to check out as well as other brands of cajons. Thanks so much Felipe. Rob
Hi Robert! thanks for your message. the subwoofer it's powerfull sound cajon. The snare has more bass as well and with medium high pitch than the 2in1 cajon. I really like this bass cajon specially for loud gigs where the power sound is needed :) But if you prefer a more standard sound with high pitch snare the Snarecraft PRO 2in1 or the Meinl artsan Tango are 2 good options in the same price range. Let me know what you're going to decide ;)
Cajon Master I noticed the photo that you used when describing the Peruvian Cajon is my product from Croaker Percussion. I’d be happy to work with you so that you can try one of my Peruvian Cajons.
@@CajonMaster thanks, unfortunately I can't find this in my area,I found a Sela varios instead,it has also a removable snare..have you tried it?seems pretty good to me always in the same price range..(Forgive me but I'm a guitarist 😂)
hey i have recently purchased the 'PEARL PRIMERO MUSIC TOWN USA CAJON' online , i liked it's looks and it sounded decent so i ordered it. but when it is here now and i am playing it i don't know if its that good. is it because i don't yet know how to play and it will turn out good afterwards? , or shall i replace it ?? please sir do reply.....
Hi there Its really nice and simple yet powerful explanation about cajon… I am a doctor by profession but i like to nurture my hobby of playing instruments… We have hormonium ,tabla and piano at our home… I have no experience about cajon … I m just a beginer … Plz guide me about CB 50 by clapbox
Hi! Thanks for you comment. The standard is 50x30x30cm but with variables. Bass snare cajon it’s good if you’re looking for that drum kick’sound but there are Cajons that are not « bass cajons » in the name but have a deep bass tone. It’s important to compare the differences and choose the one you like the most. What are you looking for? Which model specifically ?
One question: how much does really height of the cajon impact its sound? For some people standard 18" might be quite uncomfortable to sit on. I imagine that any reduction in volume of the acoustic chamber will reduce the amount of low end. It's not entirely clear to me if the pitch will go up aswell as we're reducing the longest dimension. Anyway: can we still get a sensible bass sound from 15" tall cajons?
Hi! Thanks so much for the explanation. I'm a trumpeter and an amateur bass player that wants to start playing cajon as well. The genre I want to play is Jazz (and sometimes reinterpretation od pop rock sobgs), use brushes etc. What type and model of cajon do you recomend for this genre? I can't spend too much right now, but I don't want to buy something that also sounds poor. Thank you!
Hi! The flamenco cajons are more sensitive and work well with brushes. I would suggest the Meinl Tango line, here is the review I made - ruclips.net/video/b5WUb6u9mbI/видео.html
What cajon would you recommend to gift someone who is still a beginner level and would be easier to play ? A Meinl jumbo bass subwoofer cajon or a turbo slap top Meinl cajon ?? Thanks !
Hi Nestor, for a beginner I would recommend a Full size cajon like the Meinl Turbo. The slap Cajon is great as well but to play it we don’t use the same technique as a full size cajon.
Thank you very much !:) I actually ordered the jumbo bass subwoofer cajon from Sweetwater because she feels she is ready for that type of cajon!:) Would you be able to do a review and tips on how to play the Meinl jumbo bass subwoofer cajon cajon ?? Would love any advice and tips from your end sir! Thank you!
Hi, thanks for you msg. These brands make good stuff. I cannot say much because I didn’t test these Cajons before. I would recommend Meinl Cajons that are those ones I have and reviewed here in the channel. Have a look at these reviews and let me know what do you think 😉 cheers
I used to think cajons were small wooden blocks drummers used lol. I only saw pictures of them with nothing else for judging size and I'm not a drummer, and have no aspirations to be one. But I'm an avid finger and hand drummer (MPC, Maschine), and now that I know these exist, I need one and a microphone (and lots of practice with one :D )
Hi Ben! There are many good options nowadays. I’m working with Meinl Artisan Line Cajons (flamenco type made in Spain) They sound great! I will soon review them here. Check out the different models in the website - meinlpercussion.com/
I'm about to go to buy my first musical instrument as a 29 year old. I'm in love with Cajon for a soul reason, and i wish to purchase one today in a Bangalore shop. Kindly help me out to buy my first Cajon ever. I'm entry level but I have liked to thump since my childhood and i think i can do great with a Cajon.
Hi, I would like to ask your opinion. I am looking for a cajon for worships (guitar,piano) with decent sound. I am beginner so I am looking for cheaper ones.
Hi! Thanks for the amazing video. I am a bassist, keyboard player and producer. I wanted to approach the world of percussions with the cajon, and I chose a modern sounding one. Schlagwerk CP-160 X-One. I’ve seen very good reviews and very bad ones. Consider that the use that I’m gonna do of it is replacing drums. Do you think I made a good cajon choice
Hi Mattia! thanks for your message. This is a entry level model that I think works good, especially for live gigs. Have fun with that and let me know how it goes after you spent some time testing it ;) cheers
Sir iam confused between clapbox cb65 and hypestring cb500, which one will be better. Found quite few videos but not satisfied. Help me to suggest one. From india
Hi Stewart, thanks for your message. I would love to help you with that, but I really don’t know these cajons, never played before. I would recommend Meinl cajons, because are the ones I play and work with. Other then that I suggest you to try both and choose the one you like best. 😉
Thank you for the respond. I checked the MEINL Percussion Artisan Edition Cajon Bulería Line - Mongoy (AEBLMY). But it doesnt have pickup. Do you suggest a non pickup cajon and use instrument mics.instead of built in pickups?
I've been looking for one of these, and I decided to buy one a few days ago. I have been comparing the sounds of various Cajons, and am ready to buy. But I can find no link showing me where to listen to your product. I don't know if it is my browser, or the page is not displaying, but No demo link. I thought I'd pass it on.
HELLO... WICH BRAND IS THE BEST?? I AM AMATEUR IN THESE TYPE OF PERCUSSION, BUT I PLAY DJEMBE ADVANCED... I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME FRIEND!! A STRONG HUG FROM ARGENTINA!
Valew brother… eu to aqui no Canadá, eu toco guitarra e baixo e tava afim de fazer uns churrasquinhos com uma galera tocando umas músicas “unplugged” aqui em casa. Agora eu já sei oq eu preciso
I play mostly Christian worship music, I already have a LP aspire cajon, looking for a different sound but also don’t want it to clash with the drums I was looking at the meinl artisan cajons but am not sure what I should get… I’m willing to spend 300-400$
Hi Aidan, around your budget you can have the Artisan Buleria line that’s a great cajon with adjustable strings. Have a look in my review of this model in the reviews section of my channel 😉
Hiii sir i m confused in between 3 brands cajon each cajon is great at price point and also the they sounding great ...... (1) pearl primero pbc 507 cajon (2) meinl headliner stained americana ash wood cajon.... (3) tycoon STK 29 series i am little bit confused between these cajons .... I love the flamenco style music Plz suggest me sir..which one should buy and which one will be sound like actual flamenco cajon....i am the beginner I don't want to go so far at price point.... i think the tycoon stk 29 supremo series is the best sounding ....bt m little bit confused ...All of three cajon is Affordable and great sounding....you are experience holder .....so plz suggest me....
Hi Ben! I’ve only played the Meinl headliner and I like it! The Pearl and’Tycoon are probably good as well but I can’t say much about because I’ve never played them. In the same price range you have also the Meinl Snare Craft Line. Have a look in this review I made few week ago - ruclips.net/video/22QzgwhIO5w/видео.html Cheers
Hi! You're welcome to share your experiences here about any Cajon, thanks in advance ;)

I'm all for supporting local music stores but I find that most have a very limited selection of all the same corporate cajon makers that dominate internet search results. For the same money you can get a great sounding, locally made cajon that is unique and doesn't involve trans-oceanic shipping.
How about a follow-up where you let us listen to how different ones sound? 🤞

I bought one for my birthday. I'm just starting out, it's not as easy as I thought it would be.I need to practice a lot!

What would be the best cajon to use a drum pedal?
I'm thinking about the meinl subcajon 6mb
It can be a good option. And also the Meinl Cantina line.
simple soloution to this is go play on alot of them and the one that has the sound you like you buy
Is there a three in one cajon? Where we can just do adjustments only?
I don't know any model 3in1, it could be nice ;)
Also how should it sound, what is the ideal sounding cajon, a lot of people make cajons but getting the right sound is key. Must not be too bass and not too much treble. Would it be possible to guide on that?

Hello , Are there any food introductions by officials snare cajon?
Hi there
Its really nice and simple yet powerful explanation about cajon…
I am a doctor by profession but i like to nurture my hobby of playing instruments…
We have hormonium ,tabla and piano at our home…
I have no experience about cajon …
I m just a beginer …
Plz guide me about CB 50 by clapbox
Glad it was helpful! I don't know much about the clapbox, never play before, sorry.
Thank you for all that you do. What are your thoughts about cajons with a piezo pickup?
Thank you for you comment 🙏 Sorry, but I don’t know the Piezo pickup. Can you tell more about it? I would like to know
Sir, I want to buy a good cajon which should have a snare. So, which brand should I prefer?
Snare cajon I would recommned the Meinl Snarecraft Pro
@@CajonMaster Sir, it will be good at playing Worship songs?
@@nicholaskollur6251 I think so. have a look - ruclips.net/video/8lBETxQ5BmI/видео.html
Sir, Which will be a budget friendly cajon and it should also go with guitar ?
Thank you sir
❤️😊👍
thanks!
Hi. Can you give some information about the sizes of regular cajons, too? Also is a bass cajon really effective? What is your opinion? Thank you.
Hi! Thanks for you comment. The standard is 50x30x30cm but with variables. Bass snare cajon it’s good if you’re looking for that drum kick’sound but there are Cajons that are not « bass cajons » in the name but have a deep bass tone. It’s important to compare the differences and choose the one you like the most. What are you looking for? Which model specifically ?
Sir please suggest me for cajon I have clapbox cb 50 which cajon is best for next bye between 10000 to 15000 in india
I've never played one of them, sorry. Try to find one in a shop and test ;)
One question: how much does really height of the cajon impact its sound? For some people standard 18" might be quite uncomfortable to sit on. I imagine that any reduction in volume of the acoustic chamber will reduce the amount of low end. It's not entirely clear to me if the pitch will go up aswell as we're reducing the longest dimension. Anyway: can we still get a sensible bass sound from 15" tall cajons?
Hi! Yes, the Meinl Jam Cajon is a good example of that, 15" tall. Very nice sound!

Hi! Thanks so much for the explanation. I'm a trumpeter and an amateur bass player that wants to start playing cajon as well. The genre I want to play is Jazz (and sometimes reinterpretation od pop rock sobgs), use brushes etc. What type and model of cajon do you recomend for this genre? I can't spend too much right now, but I don't want to buy something that also sounds poor. Thank you!
Hi! The flamenco cajons are more sensitive and work well with brushes. I would suggest the Meinl Tango line, here is the review I made - ruclips.net/video/b5WUb6u9mbI/видео.html
What cajon would you recommend to gift someone who is still a beginner level and would be easier to play ? A Meinl jumbo bass subwoofer cajon or a turbo slap top Meinl cajon ?? Thanks !
Hi Nestor, for a beginner I would recommend a Full size cajon like the Meinl Turbo. The slap Cajon is great as well but to play it we don’t use the same technique as a full size cajon.
Thank you very much !:)
I actually ordered the jumbo bass subwoofer cajon from Sweetwater because she feels she is ready for that type of cajon!:)
Would you be able to do a review and tips on how to play the Meinl jumbo bass subwoofer cajon cajon ?? Would love any advice and tips from your end sir! Thank you!
@@nestorpadilla5350 Of course, this is already in the schedule, I'll make it soon. Have fun with the Jumbo! :)
Is Tycoon Cajon or Lp Cajon is good ????
Hi, thanks for you msg. These brands make good stuff. I cannot say much because I didn’t test these Cajons before. I would recommend Meinl Cajons that are those ones I have and reviewed here in the channel. Have a look at these reviews and let me know what do you think 😉 cheers
I used to think cajons were small wooden blocks drummers used lol. I only saw pictures of them with nothing else for judging size and I'm not a drummer, and have no aspirations to be one. But I'm an avid finger and hand drummer (MPC, Maschine), and now that I know these exist, I need one and a microphone (and lots of practice with one :D )
Which Cajon goes well with Indian classical and Bollywood music?
Hi Rahul! I would recommend the meinl Subwoofer cajon. Powerful cajon with a very good bass, have a look - ruclips.net/video/-1yLbsZghB8/видео.html
Hey I want flamenco cajon m a new beginner so which brand is affordable so I can buy...
Hi Ben! There are many good options nowadays. I’m working with Meinl Artisan Line Cajons (flamenco type made in Spain) They sound great! I will soon review them here. Check out the different models in the website -

I'm about to go to buy my first musical instrument as a 29 year old. I'm in love with Cajon for a soul reason, and i wish to purchase one today in a Bangalore shop. Kindly help me out to buy my first Cajon ever. I'm entry level but I have liked to thump since my childhood and i think i can do great with a Cajon.
Best of luck!
How is pearl pbc 120 model cajon
What do you think about clapbox cajon ?
Never had a chance to play it, sorry 🤷♂️
Hi, I would like to ask your opinion. I am looking for a cajon for worships (guitar,piano) with decent sound. I am beginner so I am looking for cheaper ones.
Yes, definitely. I would recommend the Meinl snarecraft pro, good price and will fit perfect for the style of music you've mentioned ;)
@@CajonMaster thank you very much :)
Hi! I play snare cajon and I do gigs , I'm willing to change my cajon so which snare cajon could be better for gigs and recording's?
Meinl SnareCraft Pro can be a good option, have a look - ruclips.net/video/8lBETxQ5BmI/видео.html
@@CajonMaster thank you so much for your reply ❤️
Hi . I want to buy a CAJON for church which one should I buy?.... Please help me out
Hi! I suggest the Meinl Bass Subwoofer - have a look ruclips.net/video/-1yLbsZghB8/видео.html
@@CajonMaster i saw that one . But I don't have that much budget . I want approximately till 100$ . I am from India.
@@CajonMaster any Indian brands like CLAPBOX
Hi! Thanks for the amazing video. I am a bassist, keyboard player and producer. I wanted to approach the world of percussions with the cajon, and I chose a modern sounding one. Schlagwerk CP-160 X-One. I’ve seen very good reviews and very bad ones. Consider that the use that I’m gonna do of it is replacing drums. Do you think I made a good cajon choice
Hi Mattia! thanks for your message. This is a entry level model that I think works good, especially for live gigs. Have fun with that and let me know how it goes after you spent some time testing it ;) cheers
@@CajonMaster sure thing I will. Have a good day
As compared with brich would and oakwood be better for a good quality sound of cajon.
Sir iam confused between clapbox cb65 and hypestring cb500, which one will be better. Found quite few videos but not satisfied. Help me to suggest one.
From india
Hi Stewart, thanks for your message. I would love to help you with that, but I really don’t know these cajons, never played before. I would recommend Meinl cajons, because are the ones I play and work with. Other then that I suggest you to try both and choose the one you like best. 😉
I’m getting my first Cajon in about a week! I didn’t think about what kind to get before I bought it though. Is the Pearl Primero any good?
Hi Mike, have a look on ,y channel the playlist "Reviews". I think it can help you to decide ;)
@@CajonMaster thanks man!
Thank you so much, this is absolutely, wonderfully helpful
Thank you! Glad to know it was helpful for you 🙏😉
Great Video! You have Deals with this Cajon Makers or are this your favourite Cajons?

Ciao,complimenti per i consigli preziosi,son alle primissime armi col cajon,ho sempre suonato la batteria,che cajon mi consiglieresti per il pop rock?
Ciao Giuliano! For Pop Rock I would recommend the Meinl Subwoofer Cajon - ruclips.net/video/-1yLbsZghB8/видео.html
Is the Cajon bag useful at all? I will get the Cajon Snare type since is so versatile. Thanks!
Yes, the Cajon bag is very important to keep your "box" safe :) My recommendation is this one - geni.us/56sT
Hello i am looking for a cajon with a bass sound,with a pedle ,wat do you thing?greetings Jan Sinnige
Hi! The Meinl subwoofer is the best option if you're looking for a deep and strong bass sound.
Cajon Master thank you for your time .i buy this cajon
if our band play a lot of soul which cajon Is Better to buy?
There are many option. How much are you willing to spend?
Looking for my second cajon. Is PWCP100MB by Meinl still sounds good even without using its built in pickup? I like a cajon that sounds compressed.
Artisan line is the way to go, compressed sound with a lot of sensitivity
Thank you for the respond. I checked the MEINL Percussion Artisan Edition Cajon Bulería Line - Mongoy (AEBLMY). But it doesnt have pickup. Do you suggest a non pickup cajon and use instrument mics.instead of built in pickups?
@@ChaseMusic87 For live concerts and gigs, the best is Meinl Artisan pick up cajon. You can watch my review on the playlist Unboxing & Reviews ;)
Thank you 🙏. I will check it out. Appreciate you bro. SUBBED!
I've been looking for one of these, and I decided to buy one a few days ago. I have been comparing the sounds of various Cajons, and am ready to buy. But I can find no link showing me where to listen to your product. I don't know if it is my browser, or the page is not displaying, but No demo link. I thought I'd pass it on.
Hi Joey, which cajon you’re talking about?
I wish you could have played all the different types of cajons for audio satisfaction Sir.

Thank you for the buying advice! I was wondering if you could tell me what music you used at 3:55 ? Thank you!
My pleasure! The music I use is from epidemicsound.com
I own 7 cajons and my LP whiskey barrel is my favorite.
Thanks for sharing John ;) Lp makes good cajons.
@Cajon Master Which cajon do you recommend with big bass sound. Both electronic and acoustic?
Hi! Big Sound I would recommend the Meinl Jumbo Subwoofer Cajon or the SnareCraft Pro. Have a look on the reviews on my channel 😉🙏
Very quality - the tip on the headphones is huge. completely changes how you hear the cajon
Hi Max! Thank you for your comment. Indeed! Headphones or good speakers 😉
Thanks very much for the info!
Thank you 🙏

I play mostly Christian worship music, I already have a LP aspire cajon, looking for a different sound but also don’t want it to clash with the drums I was looking at the meinl artisan cajons but am not sure what I should get… I’m willing to spend 300-400$
Hi Aidan, around your budget you can have the Artisan Buleria line that’s a great cajon with adjustable strings. Have a look in my review of this model in the reviews section of my channel 😉
Muito top seu vídeo. Estou buscando comprar um para nossa igreja. Snare seria a melhor opção?
ola joão! Snare cajon é uma boa opção ;)
Hiii sir i m confused in between 3 brands cajon each cajon is great at price point and also the they sounding great ...... (1) pearl primero pbc 507 cajon

I love the flamenco style music
Plz suggest me sir..which one should buy and which one will be sound like actual flamenco cajon....i am the beginner I don't want to go so far at price point.... i think the tycoon stk 29 supremo series is the best sounding ....bt m little bit confused ...All of three cajon is Affordable and great sounding....you are experience holder .....so plz suggest me....
Hi Ben! I’ve only played the Meinl headliner and I like it! The Pearl and’Tycoon are probably good as well but I can’t say much about because I’ve never played them. In the same price range you have also the Meinl Snare Craft Line. Have a look in this review I made few week ago - ruclips.net/video/22QzgwhIO5w/видео.html
Cheers
Thanx a lot philip
