This Pyle cajon has a nice, rich tone on the deeper side. I previously purchased the Meinl Jam Cajon which was also nice but I did not like the sound of its snares - they were too tight, so I returned it. What I like about this Pyle is the strings can be adjusted, and thus the crispness or tightness of the snare sound can be made to suit ones taste. The adjustment is made by using an Allen wrench that is included, and turning a couple of screws on the bottom. The craftsmanship looks fine and I would say this is an excellent value for the price.

I received my PYLE PCJD18 cajon three days ago. The box arrived sooner than expected and the cajon was even better than what I expected. I have played several in the 200 to 300 dollar range that do not sound or look near as good as this one. Excellent full bass drum sound with crisp snare effect once tuned. The cajon comes tuned right for shipping on both the face upper as well as the strings. A quarter to half turn on the outside screws on top plate and and a half turn on the strings woke the cajon up. I am very pleased with this purchase.In summary:It is built well with a nice finish.It has a deep bass sound and the snare is very crisp.It is easily tuneable for the sound or effect you need for your particular taste.

I've been a drummer for decades. I have multiple drum sets and did it for a living in my younger days. Now I play for my enjoyment and playing out gives me spare toy money.Recently we started playing some different music in the band I'm in, which lead me to cajon's and other hand drums. The Pearl Compact Conga is another cool drum by the way. And way easier to transport than a full size one when your already lugging around a drum set. But that's a different sound, harder to learn to play, and way more money.So I looked around and tried many different ones. The sounds I get from this one are really nice and the price just can't be beat. I like the adjustable guitar string type snare features so I can adjust it to the sound I want. And it has a deep bass sound as well. It's very light, but seems to be well constructed as I'm 6'1" and 250 lbs and it's holding me up just fine.The box is finished well and not rough corners and edges as you might expect. Overall i think it's a great deal and I couldn't find another that could beat it for sound and price.

I am new to Cajons and purchased this after borrowing a friends LP Aspire which is a snare style Cajon. This one is a Flamenco with wires that make this sizzle sound instead of actual drum snares I purchased this Cajon for home use to accompany guitar playing during jam sessions with friends. I narrowed my decision to this unit mostly due to the positive reviews on Amazon, though I couldn't find any videos showing people playing it which was a bit troubling. I don't have a lot of experience with Cajons but in my opinion this sounds better than the LP with a distinct deep base sounds with a nice sizzle snare sounds from the strings. The snare effect is adjustable with a set of screws on the bottom of the drum. The fit and finish is good. Nice rounded edges and nice wood grain. Also seems sturdy. I am 6'2 and while I wish it was a bit taller it seems okay for my height. This is my first experience with Pyle who seems to be a new player in this market. Hopefully the drum will last a long time and continue to please. Its really a blast to play.

I bought this Cajon for my kids and grandkids to play and it has lived up to my expectations and the many positive reviews I have read online. For the price and compared to other more expensive cajon, it seems to be an excellent deal.The sound of the snare is bright and snappy and my PCJD18 is also capable of creating a solid bass tone right out of the box. Playing this cajon feels good and is easy on the ears, there's no dullness or difficulty producing the snapping percussive sound expected from this type of string cajon.I haven't even adjusted the internal strings or the front plate yet but learned how to do that by watching the "Pyle PCJD18 Overview Video" online. I have little doubt that a wide variety of sounds and tones can be produced by this instrument. I'm aware that not all cajon instruments can even be adjusted like this.I'm not worried about it supporting my weight or the weight of anyone I know. I would not expect it to be made from the finest wood or materials but it feels solid and put together well enough for me. The feet are stable and the cajon doesn't slip around.I can recommend this cajon to beginners and children and, possibly, to more experienced cajon players as well!
