Nice cajon with good sound. Overall good for this price.

The sound quality is great, and I love the color of the wood. Very easy to use it and you don't have to know much to play well. The backpack carrying bag is very nice, it's easy to tote the Cajon around and it's very light so you can always have a portable drumkit!

Bought this for my husband and he loves it

I've always wanted a cajon and came across this affordable one. This thing is so fun to play and sounds really nice. It comes with a really nice padded carrying case. The case has straps on the back so you can wear it like a backpack. The drum is lightweight but still feels really sturdy. Get yourself a cajon!

So awesome to help my 12 year old practice percussion. Beautifully made and fun to play with.

The sound is good, and the box is sturdy. It was a good value. It has worked well for our situation. We play in an outdoor venue for the church, and with a mic, the sound is sufficient.

So we got the bigger version of the cajon, so we can seat comfortable on it and It’s great! The sound is very good and it's easy to reach inside in case you need to change strings. The case is great as it has handles so it's light and easy to carry around, we can carry it everywhere! I also love the light color!

I bought this drum for my 12 year. I was looking for something for a beginner at a great price.. He joined the drumline this year and I wanted something he could still keep a beat on when it was not football season. This was perfect. It comes with a carrying back which you wear like a backpack. It has been 2 months and he now uses it as his stool at his computer desk gaming and keeping a beat . No complaints here.

Wow, high prise for great packing. No damage at all. I have mental health issues and have no rhythm either. I love drums though and feel relaxed when playing. I saw this Cajon drum and thought why not as the cost wasn't too much to pay. Already a few days later and I play along to one hole song. So for once I can find rhythm. Great quality product. Comfy to sit on and play. 100% recommend to any one. No assembly needed too.

I really wanted to have one of these for a long time but it was way too expensive. I wasn’t sure what to expect to when ordered this one considering the price, but must admit that I’m very positively surprised!
It has a very pleasant sound and even though it’s fairly small, it’s very loud. I also really like the fact that it comes in a bag, making it easier to carry around.

This is easy to assemble ..as there isn't any assembly other that take it out of the nice quality bag. It's ready to go and great fun to use!
Simply get comfortable and start banging away with your hands on it .. you can really get some cool tunes out of it with a bit of practice.
It's a solid wooden box and can be tuned
with the Allen key in side .. clever and we'll thought out idea.
Great fun for anyone from a small child to an adult or even a professional. .. it's so therapeutic I can't stop banging away!
Then when finished put it into its protective case!

Bless her, she got engaged and sold her drum kit to get a deposit on their appartment.
I know she loves these box drums, I remember mildly a very drunken night where she managed to get a band to let her use theirs.
Although theirs was full size and probably better quality, I'll never forget how excited she was.
I got the compact one, because the flat is small, it comes with a rucksack which she absolutely loves because it means she can take it with her when she goes to festivals and house parties (normality permitting)
She's absolutely over the moon, she said it needs tuning, but you can see she was excited to get straight on it and give it a whirl.

My 3 boys play a mix of the drums and guitar, however, it's well known that drums aren't exactly the most mobile of equipment, so i wanted something they could leave and use alongside the rest of their instruments, but also something they could pick up and take with them when going to friends or family so they can show off their skills.
This is a great addition that does all the above for my boys, it sits nicely in with everything else (we actually leave it out of it's included bag usually) then we throw it in the bag to take over to family to play, when sitting along it's a really solid looking piece of equipment, which when played has a real variety of sounds available for someone who wants to be a bit experimental with their play, it's also a lot of fun to do as it's that bit more unusual.
As a comparison to others, i don't really have one as this is our first, but i can say that it's well made and looks really stylish in place.

This Cajon is the best sounding wood drum that I've heard in a long time! Very easy to set up and ready to use as soon as you open the box. My feelings is this competes very well with all the more expensive cajon's.
J. George
Fantastic cajon. The snare sound quality is really good and the feel of the wood is very smooth. Feels sturdy.

Ever find yourself drumming a beat on your leg, desk or table top? I do, especially when listening to Santana. Well, you can do it instead on a Donner DCD-1T Compact Size Cajon Box Drum. Are you a musician, singer, or songwriter who wants to try a new or different beat or tempo? Are you a parent of a child who shows inclination towards becoming a drummer and want to be spared the prospect of an aspiring Phil Collins practicing on a drum set all day? All kidding aside, the Donner Compact Cajon drum can teach your child music beats associated with playing a percussion instrument. The cajon drum is also a favorite of the street performer who doesn’t want to drag along a complete drum set. Then there are those of us who appreciate and recognize the cajon drum as a beautiful instrument in and of itself.
The Donner DCD-1T Compact Size Cajon Box Drum for Kids or Travel is a portable, beautifully handcrafted birchwood percussion box with internal guitar strings that serve as snares. It has a refined finish and tight joints and rounded edges. I have only had the cajon for a couple of days so I have a long ways to go in learning the proper strike of the palm for the base sound and the finger joints for the snare. There are ample videos on the web that are great to follow in learning. You can get creative with the cajon, for example using a drum brush in the upper right corner for a high hat effect or sliding your foot up or down the front of the box while playing for a tom effect. I look forward to becoming proficient and the funtime getting there!
The Donner Compact Cajon has two adjustment methods, An Allen wrench is provided to for the adjustment screws at the bottom of the box for adjusting the front plate, and two velcro strips to adjust the guitar strings for the snare effect. The box is light-weight and very portable, making it easy to carry to any room in the house or out on the deck to play. Also included is a nice waterproof vinyl case with ample padding to protect the box and a strap so you can sling it over your shoulder for easy transport. The Donner DCD-1T Compact Size Cajon Box Drum is a top quality instrument for a child or those on the go at a great price!

This is a great cajon! Both for beginners or intermediate. I’m definitely a beginner, but really like this drum - the size is a good one, especially for traveling around with (more on that in a second).
Really really nice packaging/carrying bag for the drum. The carrying bag has backpack straps if you want to carry in that way, but also as a good handle on top for carrying with hand. Material seems like it will hold up.
The drum itself is pretty light, so it definitely doesn’t feel super heavy duty. But, the lightness is really nice for the carrying consideration.
Really nice sound, and handy to have the adjustable snare strings on the inside (and comes with the hex you need to adjust!
