Schlagwerk CP404BLK Cajon Black Edition

I bought this cajon 3 months ago in June as I was gigging in Spain for 3 weeks with the band and wanted something compact and easy to transport. I was very happy having gigged for 3 years with the larger schlagwerk 2inOne bass cajon. I wasn't sure if this smaller cajon would pack the same punch but to my pleasant surprise it has very distinct bass and a nice crack from the snare(I am a hard hitter too which helps). When mic'd correctly this cajon does the job perfectly.

Pro's: Compact, great sounding cajon that has a very attractive finish.

Con's: As I am quite a heavy hitter, the snare tends to move and dislodge from it's grooves on the inside of the cajon after long gigs.. It has even fallen out completely on one occasion(After a gig NEVER DURING), however it takes only a few seconds to adjust the snares back in place and you are good as new.

In conclusion, I fully recommend this cajon to both novice drummers looking for something to jam with and to the professional drummer looking for a compact percussion solution for a gig or recording session. Great instrument for the price!
