Pearl Primero Jingle Cajon Gypsy Brown

When I first saw this cajon I thought the front facing jingles would be in the way, some gimmicky, and not be able to be turned totally off. I was dead wrong. The jingle don't sound until you loosen them, then they add a really wonderful texture to your sound. The tambourine zils (jangles) add a nice high end bell like ring to your sound, and the pandeiro style aren't as noisy, but add a nice texture to your low end. Loosen both sets and you've got a really full sound that compliments the internal snares very nicely. The bass and slap tones on this are also spectacular. It had the best definition between a nice resonant bass tone and a dry pop of all the cajons in the store. This is the second cajon I've used from pearl and I would not hesitate to recommend one to my friends or even buy another one down the road.

Bought as a gift for my son and his personal at home use
