This is a great sounding piece of kit and will allow our band to do a small gig without the need for our drummer who cant make it. I am not a ‘drummer’ as such but as long as you can keep a good beat along with the rhythm, i believe you could use this.
The basics are simple but the first thing you need to do is reach inside for the small allen key.
Its attached to the inside and you need to loosen the bottom of the cajon as there is a piece holding the wires inside tight, for transporting it. You loosen it by about half a turn or more depending on the sound you need.
The easiest way to explain ‘as a beginner’ myself, is that there are 3 main areas you hit with the flat of your hand. This gives a base sound and two snare drum sounds. Technically that’s not true as there are many sounds you can achieve but I am a beginner myself.
I suggest youtube to learn some patterns but I have had it for a week now and fell comfortable now with my progress.
The cajon is well made and looks good. The sound is superb. It has a good bass drum sound and the snare sound is excellent. Our drummer tried it and he said he thought it was a good piece of kit.
Our intention is to mic the unit up and play through sound desk but its also loud enough to play at home or for an intimate gig with friends.
I read a few reviews which stated the Cajon was damaged on arrival. Mine came well packaged in a really sturdy box. For the money, I would certainly recommend it. Good for beginners or professional players.
Please note that I am not a drummer. I play table top drums much to the annoyance of my better half, therefore some of the terminology I use in my review, may not be accurate as such.

Not all boxes are the same! This is very good quality and for the money, was very good value. The finish on the sides, back and top are done in a very durable black finish and the main ‘skin’ is stained to a lovely brown with the wood grain showing through.

The Cajon comes with its own adjustment Allen key for the drum springs and there is a cool little holder for this at the back, just insider the sound hole.

All in all it is a great package, very well built and looks the part. Meini, obviously have a history with percussion instruments. This unit can also be expanded with a bass pedal and a mini snare drum.

Nice cabin, well made, beautiful looking. Would have loved the snare sound to be a bit crisper though.

Bought as a seat for my home office with a pad, great alternative to a stool, foot rest, side table; love a little jam

I bought this cajon to have a portable drum in college, that could also act as a seat in my dorm.
As a relatively tall guy, it isn’t difficult/uncomfortable to bend over and play using my hands. I dont feel like I’m hunched over.
Really bass-y nice sound, even with small taps and light hits!

within 20 minutes of light use the grip on the footplate had cracked and detached . looked very shabby. Sent photos.no further action taken by provider.

Not disappointed, but not wowed either. A little smaller than I thought, but I didn’t look closely at the dimensions.

This Cajon was a perfect fit for us. It’s light and portable, but has a great sound when mic’d up. There’s nothing fancy about it, but if you are looking for a no frills cajon that does exactly what you want it to do… look no further. Meinl has great products that always have a dependable quality.
