I hope to not have to play cajon too often. Any upgrades will done done to the full drumset.
Sound
This is a Cheap cajon. It sounded pretty dead out of the box, but I Loosened the strings a tad, Taped one string down that was buzzing, and Loosed the top corners and it sounds like a Cajon now. to the ear, It sounds like a Box with beads inside. But with a mic in the Back, which Is How I will be playing it-It sounds good enough. the Low end punches through quite clearly in the back with the peak at 60-125 Htz, pretty low. I found with a sm-57 almost all the way in and aiming Upwards toward the "snare" sound area, With EQ on the board I need to boost 2K and up, and bring down the Bass a bit, and It sounds good. Reverb Helps it. Its a cheap cajon, I wish the Snap in the "snare" area was a bit higher pitched then it is, But It sounds dead with tighter strings. It's good enough, and It is a Cajon. Not spectacular, But It'll work for me.
Ease of Use
Nice.
Value
It's worth what you pay for it. there are Many Better sounding Cajons out there, But you can make this work.
The Wow Factor
It's Nice. My Blues/Rocknroll/Funk Band Can't get into a lot of places because of my full drum set. So we decided to arrange a quieter set where I'd play Cajon, Djembe and shakers in my shoes. This will work fine.
