Fat Congas String Cajon Drum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have played various Cajons (Flamenco and Peruano) and feel that the Fat Congas Cajon Flamenco is my favorite to play. Unlike many Cajons where their is only one tapa (playing/striking side), this Cajon is made of real wood and can be hit on all sides for various tones. One side has snares usually used for Flamenco, another has a deep wood sound usually used for Afro-Peruvian style and the other two sides have a higher sound that can be used for Caribbean (Son, Bachata, etc...). The downside for the Cajon, is that it is not the same dimensions as many mass produced Cajons on the market, so there are not many gig bags available and it is a little heavier (still really light) than others, but these things should be overlooked, due to the overall quality of the Cajon. I made two personal modifications, where I took off the sitting pad, so that I can move around the Cajon for quicker movement to use the various tapas and I added two nails on the side opposite of the snare to get a sound I was looking for. Overall, I highly recommend this Cajon.

Meinl African Talking Drum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this as a gift for a friend. Several other websites have the drum w/ the curved drumstick included, for the same price as this one, apparently Amazon does not include that.
Though my friend has no complaints with the drum thus far, it's annoying that he didn't get the stick and so can't really play it- and the only sticks i've been able to find are not specific to this drum, and cost a quarter again as much.
Good product likely, buy it somewhere else though and get the stick included.

Meinl Fiberglass Liquid Ibo Drum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This Meinl Liquid IBO drum is the most expensive for a very good reason, you can literally and fast or subtly change the pitch and tone of the drum by holding it at certain angles as the water moves into different parts of the metal base.
Doing this might take a bit of practice, especially if your not familiar with IBO or UDU drums but once you are, the different sounds you get are very rewarding, and the big bulbis shape of Meinl's drums are just effortless and so comfortable to hold and play, there are days where i have it in my lap for hours playing it or just holding it, sometimes forgetting it's even there, almost like a kid with a teddy bear, it's that comfortable.
Anyone who purchases this drum will not be sorry, their has not been a day that has gone by since i bought it, that i have not taken it out for a short or long period of time, it's getting to the point where i don't feel comfortable unless i'm holding this drum and tapping out a different rhythm every time.

Meinl Foot Cabasa Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good percussion option for drummers. It takes a bit of getting used to but it is great once you get the hang of it. I am glad I purchased it. You may need to mike it at a performance as it doesn't have a lot of volume plus it is coming from the floor rather than you hand as most Cabasas are played.
