A great cajon pedal for the price
I wanted to use my cajon as both seat and bass drum while I play the acoustic guitar.
PROS:
The pedal is great and comes with a handy tool to adjust anything on it, and can be set up for playing with either the right or left foot.
The sound is really nice and easily controllable by rotating the rubber head, which can be set to hit the cajon flat against the surface or with the edge.
CONS:
However I had to change the setup of the pedal a bit before feeling comfortable with it, the main issue for me was that the head had to travelled to much for my taste before hitting the cajon.
And while the solid angled shaft is convenient, it does limit the position of the pedal compared to the cajon, because the shaft can only turn for a given range of angles ... With my long legs I couldn't find a very comfortable position by sitting aligned with the cajon, I have to turn myself a bit which isn't a big deal since I'm not playing the cajon with my hands anyway.
To sum up:
I'm more than pleased with the pedal now that I found how to use it comfortably, and only wish that the initial setup wasn't the way it was because it forced my to hit the pedal harder than necessary on my first trials.

I bought this item to use on my cajon for acoustic sets with my band. I've used it for quite a while now and it is a very good pedal. I would recommend it to anyone, especially if you play heel up as it is very robust and can take hard beating. The only issue is that I have to turn the cajon to acommodate everything as the pedal positioning is a bit limited, but can be easily fixed by moving the cajon

Works as promised.
I bought this cajon pedal since I couldn't afford the Schlagwerk one and needed one for an upcoming performance. I was not expecting much as I've used Millenium hardware before and it has, to be fair, not really been up to par with what I normally use.
This pedal, however, surprised me. It worked just as I had hoped and I had no problems with assembly. I'm not really sure how sturdy it is and it might not last forever, but it did the job and I'm happy with its performance the one time I've used it so far.
I'd buy if you want a cheap cajon pedal that works, and not much more. Otherwise I'd probably go for the Schlagwerk one which I've heard lots of good things about.

Great sound
Make a great sound ..... only learning to play but the direct drive as opposed to the cable connection limits placement but give greater control and good sturdy design for a solid session, teenagers and little kids alike

Good cheap pedal
This pedal is really nice and sturdy. It can deliver a powerful hit but also a softer one. It can be a little tricky with setting it up in a comfortable position but all in all it is a good pedal.

Good for the price
Use it in an acoustic setup and the only two disadvantages I found were that the angle is weird and that the base slips too much, forcing me to carry around a rug "just in case".

Very good Cajon Pedal
All in all very impressed with this kick pedal, on the positive side the build and quality are very good, and the pedal action is responsive without any delays, the only negatives is that there was absolutely no instruction about how to set it up, and I’m not sure how long the rubber drive belt will last, or if replacements are available.

Decent cajon pedal
Have been using this for a few years - is a solid pedal - just had a little problem with the retaining bar which flexes as it clamps to the cajon. Great value pedal for the money!

The affortable cajon pedal
This is quite a good one, but please be prepared to do some tuning and adjustments on it. It also takes some room and time to set it up. Our band cjon drummer uses this now regularly, after some hassle with configuration.

Cajon Pedal
It works ok, and I like the sound it produces on the cajon... a lot bassier than I thought. However in order for it to work you have to use it quite far back which is uncomfortable. If I had to make the decision again I would buy the more expensive metal wire one as you can place it anywhere.
