I've heard different cajons that had cool snares or cymbals in them where you could play in different areas for different sounds

The snares are easy to adjust and it sounds great.

This cajon produces a nice rich bass sound and it's tunable so you can get a good snare sound and different slaps from it as well.

The snare can be a bit “moody,” if it’s not hit in the exact spot

I've been messing around with my new cajon for a while now, trying to tune it just right, but with the particular one I received I cannot seem to get it to give enough snare sound before you start to just hearing twanging from the guitar strings

The snare is kind of lacking, I ended up using some tape on a few spots to get a better snare sound which helps.

Very durable and great snare sound.

Cool cajon, it can support a pretty good amount of weight and has a really good sound to it, especially the snare

One remark was that it had an awful snare sound.

Deep bass, beautifully crisp snares, this Meinl Cajon is the first style I played, and I loved it so much I had to buy one, this was my replacement to another order of a CHEAPer Cajon.

Bass is nice and deep while the snare is crisp and sharp

It has the weird ring other reviewers mention, and the snare is horrible.

The adjustable snares make it very versatile.

The pearl with it's fixed snares (look like broom-shaped snare thingies) sounds so much better out of the box that it's just not even funny.

The snare is kind of lacking, I ended up using some tape on a few spots to get a better snare sound which helps.

I'm using a kick pedal with it for bass notes and a set of cajon brushes for a nice clean snare/slap sound.

It has an adjustable snare function, and they include an Allen wrench (and place to store it as well)

The bass sound was good but the snare needed work.

It has a solid sound and great snare snap

I personally like a tighter snare, and I think the cajon sounds good with the tighter snare

Great sounding bass and snare.

Good bass response & decent snare articulations.

Adjustable snare, supreme tone

Also, the fact that the snares are adjustable makes it that much more versatile of an instrument, as it can adjust to almost any acoustical setting

Good snare and bass

It gives great sound with crisp snares and a deep bass

The bass end is just the right low end and the snare isn't too strong of a sound

If you keep your snares loose, you will definitely hear a bit of snare rattle while hitting the bass, something I see as a minor downside

This cajon produces a nice rich bass sound and it's tunable so you can get a good snare sound and different slaps from it as well.

Then by loosening all the screws on the upper front panel a few turns, I was able to get a nice, crisp snare sound as well

Poor snare with decent base.

The snares are a bit bright, but or the room my son is playing in, it is a really great sound

has an adjustable snare to fit to your liking

After some mild adjustment to the top corners and the snares, it meets my expectations.

The snare works well.

The pearl has better bass response and the out-of-the-box fixed snare sounds great for $109.00.

Works great, terrific sound, both hand-held as well as on the foot

these are okay for casual use, but the wood seems a bit softer than what I had expected, meaning that the claves don't sound as sharp as they should, consistently.

The sound is really good for live, as it's louder, noisier than the Schlagwerk, and has a bigger...looser, low end that many will love.
