The Meinl Percussion Compact Jam Cajon is a portable, hand-played percussion instrument, made from 100% Baltic birch for full bass and crisp slap tones. Baltic birch delivers naturally balanced sound with punchy lows and clear highs (it’s used in high-end drum sets for serious players). Two sets of fixed steel snares add crisp tone, while a rear sound port enhances bass and serves as a mic spot. Non-slip silicone feet ensure stability and maximum resonance on any surface. Compact and travel-friendly, it's perfect for jam sessions and easy for anyone to play, regardless of age—no experience required. 10.25" W x 15" H x 10.25" D, 6 lbs. (holds adults). Made in Europe.

    • Great Sound & Quality
Color: Light Brown/Natural
This instrument produces a great sound. The quality of the build is excellent. Even the leg pads are screwed into the wood ensuring it's long-term use. Other models only have stick ons. Great product for the value!

    • Toddler Friendly
Color: Light Brown/Natural
This box drum is compact, crisp, and well-made. The craftsmanship is minimalist and beautiful. I can play it during the day without worrying about disturbing the neighbors, which is a plus. It is perfectly useful for small settings: at home, performance venue, or church worship service. Most importantly for us, it is toddler friendly! My toddler enjoys slapping this drum and hearing sounds. It is light and easily transportable, with rounded edges on all sides. I can sit on this drum 2 ways (with the drum placed vertically or horizontally on the floor) and jam away. While I am reading with my toddler on her desk, I can adjust the height of my seat (the box drum) by either placing it vertically or horizontally on the floor, making it incredibly versatile for me to accommodate my toddler's growing height. It is a fabulous little drum and I am glad that I took the plunge! ... show more

    • Does what is designed to do!
Color: Light Brown/Natural
Picked this up as a birthday present for my 12yo son. I did not check the size because I did not realized they made different sizes ones oops... But that ended up working out for us. He loves to take it to music jams or play from time to time at home. Seems to be well built and has a decent sound.

    • A basic, decent quality Cajon

One of my favorite places to play drums is on the dash of our car with the music blasting. I was a drummer in high school and have a decent drum kit at home, but I thought it would be good to get something more portable and easier to play. Something that would reproduce the pleasure of playing on the car dash. A while back, I played a quality Cajon - not sure what brand or model - that was part of an interactive museum exhibit and thought, aha, this is what I want! I finally got this Meinl JC50LBNT Cajon after doing a fair amount of research online, and a bit at our local drum shop. Meinl is a German manufacturer, mentioned often (along with Schlagwerk) as a quality European Cajon manufacturer in the reviews I've seen. I tried a few American made Cajons and wasn't really overwhelmed with the sound or feel of the budget models I was looking at, so I took a risk and ordered this Meinl "Jam" Cajon. The Meinl JC50LBNT is a bit smaller (10.25x10.25x15 inches) than the usual Cajons (for e.g. the BC1NTWR which is 15x15x23 inches), so it's more portable - though you are more hunched over while sitting on it to play. It is a non-adjustable "snare" type of Cajon (see photo of the inside) as opposed to "wire" models that use two coiled wires instead of snares to achieve the crisp snare sound. The snare separation between striking the top vs the center of the Cajon is decent, but not as good as some "wire" models I tried. It's decently loud, but not excessively so. Made in Europe with Baltic wood, it certainly feels like a nice, well-made instrument. Generally, I'm quite pleased with how this Cajon sounds: it plays as well or better than the American Cajons I tried in the drum shop, and is cheaper, so it's definitely a recommended value option. I do have to underline, though, that this model, while good quality and value, is still one of Meinl's basic entry-level Cajons, and it doesn't quite reproduce the quality feel and crispness of the Cajon I played in the museum. ... show more

    • Great!
Color: Light Brown/Natural
Works very well and I'm a drummer and this is my first cajon. Great price for the quality. Light weight, sounds good. Color and finish are nice. might want to find a taller size to adjust for height and im short. Give the back a bit of an ache after about an hour of playing.

    • 1 hour into use and I’m in love. (Cover song, quality)
Color: Light Brown/Natural
The media could not be loaded. This product is intuitive and high quality. Very easy to learn and a very versatile instrument. For the price I was expecting a lot less but this is more than I paid for. I’ve been playing acoustic covers of songs and just playing along to learn the ins and outs of this drum and after about 2 hours I feel confident enough to get through just about any song by feel without messing up. ... show more

    • Smaller than you could imagine
Color: Light Brown/Natural
Of you’re looking this cajon as the drums replacement, this size won’t do it. Maybe for kids to learn or so
