Latin Percussion LPM1400 Udu Drum Museum Series Ltd Review

Latin Percussion LPM1400 Udu Drum Museum Series Ltd
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I happen to order a Meinl ID8-RB IBO drum the same time i ordered this drum and they both arrived on the same day within an hour of each other the Meinl arrived first, so i unpacked it and played it for about an hour and it had alot of various tones between the ceramic, and the fiberglass bottom, as well as a very deep base sound, but it was a huge drum and very awkward and uncomfortable to play on my lap.
Then the LPM 1400 museum series arrived an hour later, now keep in mind the LP is a mere $50.00 to the Meinl's $120.00 and yet the LP was packaged much better and also included a booklet telling you about the drum and showing the other models available, not to mention a very cool tightly wrapped round tweed rope stand and this drum was incredibly comfortable in my lap and had very bright and deep bass sounds, and i must admit so much more smooth playing than the Meinl.
It's just a great drum and has immediately become my favorite out of the 3 i have, the other 2 being the Meinl Liquid IBO drum $160.00 and of course the ID8-RB Ceramic/Fiberglass bottom newer addition, LP really makes a quality product and it will probably get the most play out of the 3 because of it's great sound and comfort and ease of playing....buy this drum.

Meinl Cajon Review

Meinl Cajon
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product is advertised as a Meinl Cajon; in actuality, it is the Meinl "Nino" series Cajon, which (as the name implies) is intended for children. This would be comparable to purchasing a full drum set online and receiving a playskool plastic Fun 'N Drum set, or some such nonsense. Very disappointed.

Schalloch Cajon Brown Review

Schalloch Cajon Brown
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a great instrument for small crowds, mostly acoustic playing. The whole instrument itself is very sturdy, so you have no worries about it break. It comes with four strings, which can easily be tightend or losend with a tool that comes with the Cajon. The noise is very clear and sounds great.
The bass is louder than I expected which is a plus. Also the wood, is hard, but not hard enough where it is going to hurt your hands while your playing. I use this for worship time doing bible studies, and it works great and can keep an excellent beat. It has a grooved surface at the top of the cajon, so when you sit on it, your not going to slip off. So if your looking for a cajon just to use for fun, or small groups, this is one to choose.

Fat Congas String Cajon Drum Review

Fat Congas String Cajon Drum
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

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

Meinl Fiberglass Liquid Ibo Drum
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

Meinl Foot Cabasa
Average 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.

The real thing looks very beautiful and nicely made. The sounds are gorgeous. It feels really solid. I also like its smell... it's similar to a freshly printed book.

Fat Congas Cuban Bajo Cajon Review

Fat Congas Cuban Bajo Cajon
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really love this drum. I brought this to the rumba in the park, and it really has a nice bottom sound. I like to use both hands on the 2 different pitched sides and use bass and open tones on both sides. Sometimes, I will turn it so one side is facing front and use 2 hands on one side. You can sit on it and play the cajon plus congas. . . this is the best Bajo Cajon you can buy; only better cajon than this one is probably hand-made.

Tycoon Percussion 29 Series Acrylic Cajon Review

Tycoon Percussion 29 Series Acrylic Cajon
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The first cajon we received was seriously broken -- the back panel was completely smashed in. However, the packaging was intact, suggesting that the instrument was broken at the factory. Assuming this was a one-off problem we returned it and ordered another. The second one arrived, also with intact packaging, but with the back panel partially unglued and loose. At that point we concluded that this acrylic cajon is fundamentally defective and we will not get another.

This is a great drum for kids who truly love music ... The quality is so much better than "toy" drums, but is still reasonably priced. The sound is good and it's well made. My 7 year old loves that the strap allows him to move around while drumming with two hands ... we've had a lot of jam sessions around here since Christmas.
