Pearl Boom Box Cajon Review by Sweetwater Sound

In this video I am demonstrating the Pearl Boom Box Cajon. This is a very cool Cajon due to its big low end sound. Pearl engineered this Cajon with a bass port rather then having the more normal sound hole. That bass port really gives the drum a boom that will definitely help project the sound in many live situations plus you get fixed snare wires in the box as well. You get a nice snap from the top of the drum and a nice kick drum style sound from the middle of the drum; furthermore, this is a road ready drum that will also do well for you in the studio.

The Pearl Boom Box Cajon features fiberglass construction with a very nice Artisan Red Mahogany finish. As long as you take care of this instrument it will last more then a lifetime.

If you’re in the Cajon market then take a look at this versatile Pearl Boom Box Cajon. You get many different sounds from one drum, big volume and low end, easy on the hands, and it is just big fun to play.

I have this cajon and love it! In addition to the cajon I got a Pearl case and a Pearl cajon cushion. I also bought Vater nylon brushes that lend a train sound to this. I am a guitar player, bass player and a singer. I figure this is as close to being a drummer as I care to get. I bought the Pearl Boom Box as a "one and done" purchase with this being about as good as the day I bought it. It is very well made, looks great, sounds great and is fun to play!!! 😎👍

I played one of these at guitar center. The port makes a real difference. The bass is fat and resonant, yet not too sustained like a Djembe. I thought the snares were pressed too hard against the "skin." I had to strike hard to get the snare sound. However, this helped in producing the bass tone without snare. I'm sure this can be adapted to. The snare wires can probably be relaxed a bit with light bending.

For $150, I say go with this sub cajon. The others have been a disappointment.

This is an impressive cajon, for sure.

This is the first time I heard of this. I can't see the purpose of it.
