Schlagwerk DC300 Cajonito review

A little while back I was all about cajons.  They're basically wooden boxes that you sit on and beat with your hands.  Here's some videos: here and here; they sound pretty cool, right?  So I decided to buy one, because I love banging on desks and tapping rhythms on computer keyboards.  Except, since I wasn't sure how much I'd get into it, I held back and bought a little mini cajon: a Cajonito by Schlagwerk, who I hear makes pretty good cajons.  Well I ordered one from shopercussion.ca (who I would recommend, they even sent me complimentary almonds), and I started using it, and I gotta say: I was a little disappointed.  Read on to find out why!
