A friend of mine demonstrated the Ktak on Darbuka Planet’s website and I was hooked. It is a pricier than other similar mini cajons BUT the others had mixed reviews- the most common complaint was poor craftsmanship. Many complained of split or gaping seams. The Ktak is very well-made. All the seams are tight and clean thereby having good projection via the sound hole.Sound: it’s not very loud but it does play well and is perfect for those of you who also play the doumbek, it has almost identical playability and would be a great practice drum that won’t bother the neighbors. I think it would probably sound good mic’d up - I will soon get an idea of how it will sound through a sound system and will update accordingly.Playability: it has a lot of character and subtle nuanced tones.Strap: I had to change the strap. I am a portly dood and the stretch strap included just was too small - so I easily unscrewed the strap holders and mounted a standard guitar strap, now it works perfectly.Side note: I also teach inner city kids drumming and bucket drumming in my city’s parks. I am seriously considering starting a GoFundMe page to purchase more of these to start a hand drum class for my kids - given the Ktak’s small size - they would be perfect for traveling from park to park

I friggin' love this little body cajon!!!! I can't stop running my hands over its lovely finish, so smooth and pretty! I love that it has the snarish sound on one side, and when you flip it over it has a more woodish, bongo sound. And I love that flipping it from front to back does not tangle the strap because the fasteners on the drum swivel! When I opened it I thought the straps looked really small, but when I put it on I found that the straps are elasticized, not too tight, just right. And it's adjustable for sharing with your friends who aren't quite so generously proportioned! I am looking forward to driving my husband crazy with this fun, beautiful, very professional looking, high quality little travel cajon!

This is a fun little percussion instrument. I like the fact that it’s reversible. One side has a snare sound the other more like a bongo. I’m having fun with it.

I actually played it around town for a couple hours and made $40. 🤯I am disabled and can not carry a heavy drum. Its light weight, very portable, attention grabbing, sounds great and is made very well. I have both the Ktak and Mashbox and play them together.

Great little instrument for those who can't leave the house without one. Always carried by regular Cajon in my van now I don't have to. Take this wherever I go. Always jamming with friends. Especially at camp. Definitely a must have.

It's a nice little drum. I wanted something lightweight I could take out in the yard and play. I was actually looking for a smaller djembe and this popped up. It has a nice crisp snare sound. The bass tone is not as deep as I like but it is a small drum. I like the strap that you can put around your waist. I read a review where someone straps the drum around their thigh when sitting.

This drum is so fun and easy to play. It is so well made and has a great finish. It may be more expensive than similar drums but the workmanship is outstanding. I would highly recommend this drum. Along with this Ktak drum, I have also own their cajonga and cabonga drums which are equally excellent. The drum fits easily into a messenger bag. It is lots of fun!
