Promissing idea, execution could be better
jimmar 05.11.2026
I am a big fan of multi-functional items, so I was very eager to try this instrument. After one year of usage, I have the following remarks:
1) The name of the product is clever, but a bit misleading. Do not expect a 'djembe' sound. You get a cajon sound on the wooden surface, where you can add or remove the snares. And you get a darbuka sound on the other side.
2) The sound: The cajon sound is fine. The darbuka sound is heavily lacking bass, no matter how you tune it with the allen screws. The 'doum' sound is thus disappointing, although the 'tek' sound is very bright and strong. Do expect some occasional snare rattling, even when you turn it off, on both sides of the instrument.
3) The production seems very rushed. All holes are not cut clearly, something that you would expect from a rushed CNC milling process, without any sanding. You can also spot wood putty all over the external surface, on the perimeter. When I placed the order, the product was out of stock and I waited a few months. Since you take the time, please make it right.
4) The instrument is relatively small (~30cm x 30cm) and weighs about 2 kg, so it is easy to take it around with you.
5) It is a bit tricky to find a comfortable way to place the instrument. That is to be expected, since it has a unique shape. I find that the best place is between my calves.
6) I really appreciate that a padded bag that came with the instrument. The product page also mentions a strap, but I didn't receive one.
7) Overall, I think that it is a good instrument for practice, or relaxed jamming. I would most probably not use it in more formal situations.

Bonus: It does have a wow effect when people see it from afar and makes them interested. When they try it though, they are similarly not that excited. At least, you can spark some conversations.

Fantasic, versatile drum
LizL 10.10.2026
An exccellent piece of kit to anyone that uses rhythm as part of their art or sound based practices. Both sides and different areas of the drum produce crisp, varied and exciting sounds. I would go so far as to offer my opinion that this is a far superior instrument to the Cajon in that it offers so much more.

Schönes kleines Instrument!
Shashanka_S 18.02.2026
Ich wollte ein Percussion-Instrument für meinen Musikraum, das nicht so laut ist, sodass ich beim Spielen niemanden störe. Dieses Instrument ist dafür perfekt! Natürlich ist der Bass nicht so laut wie bei einer normalen Cajón, was angesichts der Größe aber nicht überraschend ist. Den Klang finde ich jedoch sehr gut! Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist super, weil es drei Klänge in einem Instrument gibt! Der Transport ist auch viel leichter im Vergleich zu einer normalen Cajón.

Ich bin auch sehr zufrieden mit dem Kundenservice von Thomann. Die Tragegurte fehlte in der Lieferung, aber sie wurde schnell nachgeliefert.

Très pratique
unam 16.08.2025
Je recherchais quelque chose de transportable pour mes représentations de méditation sonore. Un petit micro overhead pour le sonoriser sur la sono avec une légère reverb pour aller avec le style de musique que l on fait.
Pour mon utilisation c est parfait.
Les + :
- housse de transport très pratique
- la sangle pour jouer debout, très pratique pour passer au milieu des participants pour les méditations ou soirées ecstatique danse
- le tout en un, le côté bois sans le timbre ressemble à des bongos, avec le timbre ça devient un cajon et de l autre côté je dirai qu on est plus proche d un doumbek (darbouka) que d un djembé mais c est parfait pour mon utilisation.

Les - :
- pour une personne qui recherche vraiment un son de djembé, il faut régler la tension de la peau mais ça manquera un peu de basse, mais vu la taille réduite de l appareil c est normal.
- purement personnel : le côté esthétique "trop" neuf , j ai mis un coup de ponceuse et colorant à bois pour un aspect plus "Roots" mais c est vraiment que pour mon goût.

Voilà c est pratique, ça sonne, c est léger et le prix est vraiment abordable.
Ah oui en live je l utilise sur un pied de caisse claire de batterie. Ça tient très bien.
