(More customer reviews)With the lack of reviews out there, I felt it was my duty to give this particular product some much needed attention since I knew nothing about them until I played one. (Note: I actually purchased the darker-wood version from a local Guitar Center so my review is solely on the actual product and not on Amazon's service.)
Before considering cajons, I never heard about Latin Percussion boxes. I only read reviews about Meinl and Pearl cajons so I never took this brand into consideration. I walked into the drum section of Guitar Center with my eyes closed, sat on every cajon and started playing. I am no drummer or expert but this little thing was extremely responsive. The snare portion was clear yet the low-end picked up every one of my finger's inputs. I even tried out the Meinl's that cost twice as much, yet they sounded like unresponsive crates compared to this thing. In all fairness, the high-end cajons probably get better with time, but this LP was amazing on the show room floor and out of the box. You can manipulate it to sound really well at low input, yet it's capable of a serious beating. The Meinl's seemed like they needed some real hard input to get anywhere near the same output.
I ended up going home with the LP Aspire based solely on sound. Not that I mind the psuedo-authentic look of natural wood, but the accented dark wood discretely blends in with other things in my bedroom. This is a plus if you're limited on storage space. Now that I think about it, the other cajons would stick out like bond-fire crate-wood in my little apartment.
