For the uninitiated thinking, “Wait, what is a cajon?”… the cajon is a drum box that you sit on.

It’s constructed from hardwood or plywood. The type of wood used will usually reflect what it sounds like.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the 4 hardwoods commonly used for Cajons:

Beech: High density hardwood, good all-round choice with good lows, mids & highs.
Birch: Very similar to Beech with slightly reduced mids and boosted highs – it’s a great choice for a well rounded cajon although usually more expensive.
Mahogany: Known for it’s deep low-ends, this will provide a lot of boomy bass with a muted high range.
Oak: Renowned for volume, this is your choice if you’re going to be incorporating cajons into live rock/pop gigs.
A cajon can also be made from lots of other types of woods or a fusion of the ones I just mentioned, so any research done in terms of sounds will be time well spent.

Just like standard drums, manufacturers of these drums will vary in quality, whether it’s joints, reinforcement, aesthetics – the whole shabang. What’s more is that a cajon should be played with a cushion, since most players spend a good amount of time sitting on it.
