Pearl Cajon Drum

As we downsize our home, I'm downsizing my drum kit to a Cajon - and loving the Roland EC-10 from B & H Phoro. My Cajon came just as advertised - but even sooner than promised.

This Pearl paper looks amazing.

I've tried dozens of brands and the Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl produce images similar to those black and white dark room days back when I was in school. The pearl has a nice luster and so far everyone who has seen the quality has praised it. Currently using it on a Canon Pixma IP4500. The only con is that there are no color profiles available for the smooth pearl and canon pixma ip4500 combo.

Small and great sound. I use for cajon and with desk top stand it fits great on cajon. Very reasonable price.

Mine came in perfect condition. The snare is far from weak. The amp/speaker is not weak either - it is at least as loud as the regular acoustic instrument, and mine is certainly louder, so that full volume is a bit too much. Besides, you can plug it into an amp or mic it if you need to - like any other cajon. The velocity sensitivity works great, and is completely adjustable. The only sounds that sound electronic are the few sounds that are supposed to sound electronic. The 20 settings that are acoustic sound great, and the 10 electronic sounds are so much fun to play with. You don't have to hit it so precisely. You certainly want the triggers localized, because you don't want to always hit the triggered sounds. That way, instead of the basically two sounds you normally get from a cajon, you can get many more varieties. I bought this for use in my professional band, and I'm glad I did. I would do it again. My drummer can now accompany me when I play what used to be solo gigs, when schlepping drums would not be appropriate. We can fit into more venues with this thing. That was the original reason for my purchase. Now - I am not saying that this is the best cajon on the market - that's a personal choice. I am saying that the instrument I received is of high quality, is very useful, and I have no regrets. I look forward to hearing what the future iterations of this great idea will sound like.

This mic stand is just right for my needs. I mic a cajon from about six inches away. The new stand sits on the floor and holds a big kick (percussion) mic. If is sturdy, and taken apart fits right in the pouch on the bag in which I carry the cajon. Solid, but not heavy (2 Lbs.) it is just right.

Winter snow looks great on the pearl

I use it to connect my drum to the amplifier.

Maybe the best all around drum machine available.
