good job bro

beautiful work

Good morning, thank you for sharing the process, congratulations on your work. Could you share with us the grades used to cut?

Beautiful instrument I think a 14”-16” depth on the bass drum would make it even better.

Very impressive and precise work and craftsmanship. Most congas are built using the cooperage technique with steam-bent wood staves or sections. Now there are craftsmen cutting the curve into each stave to avoid having to steam-bend which probably makes the drum stronger. Your approach is something totally new to constructing congas. What made you decide on this technique? Thank you for posting!

Nice natural shape of the wood, not steam bent. And, Check out Moperc drums, less pieces less glue.

I never realized how many tasks were needed to hnd make a conga drum. I enjoyed watching the process. I am the owner of two hand made drums by Jay Bereck of Skin on Skin, formerly in Brooklyn. I bought these drums in 2001. They have been a joy to play these last twenty two years. He signed his name in English, and then he also signe his Hebrew name.

Really cool looking drums. I'm a professional furniture maker and semi pro percussionist.....always wanted to make some congas. Love the unique design and approach, great use of small pieces of timber. Inspired me!!

Oh man , a harmony is of chemistry resonating completely with your style!! I mean, if you live anywhere around Ohio USA .... well I really would love playing around that ... I'd hit that 🤣... 😐 , for real though....

Very nice congas! Congrats!

so impressive! just congrats on your crafting

I would love to be the proud owner of a set of these drums. They look amazing amazing. However after seeing the quality of the craftsmanship that goes into making them, I'm sure they are beyond my means. I just took it for granted that everything was made in a huge factory.

New sub here! Quite a different approach to building congas and they sound sweet! After visiting your site, I gotta say these are some bad azz mamma jamma's!!!!

Wow, great-looking conga drums, and they sound excellent! Awesome craftsmanship, God bless!

Very creative. Do not waste your time - Promo'SM !!!

Hey Brother, love what you doin over there. I been banging on conga drums for about 45 years and it never gets old. Check out my latest conga jam: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jam5apSceLJ3hac Actually I checked out your video with audio at 5:40 while listening to the audio from my conga video above and it totally jived. check it out! How much you charge to make me a Super Tumba about 14 inch head? Then I can get the skin from the LP Galaxy model :) NICE CHOPS!

I was blessed to order and have ownership of these beauties....the sound is awesome and I can't wait to play them on stage. Kevin Brown of Rhythym House Drums is one of the true craftsmen practicing the drum making craft....especially on the East Coast....I'm blessed.....

Very cool and unique

Que bellezas! Magnífico trabajo amigo.

Good content! Keep the content coming! Do you know of Promosm?!? You should use it to help your videos rank better in the search.

Thank you for sharing! I wish I knew how to play a djembe only because I saw your incredible drums years ago

Excellent informative video. Beautiful drumset.

Is this the 13" or 14"? Great sound

That thing is absolutely beautiful. Amazing craftsmanship.

It's cool

You rock brother !

Nice, i suggest to add less reverb next time. The djembe is perfect in open air, and has to be dry in my opinion. Thank you

i have one of these and at my last workshop, in between presentations we play in a drum circle; and of the 30 drums i brought in for people to play, this was the favorite that everyone wanted to play

I'm pleasantly surprised! I like your humbleness.

WHITE BOYS CAN'T PLAY

fuck this guy is awesome holy shit!!!!

U sound like a natural - nice work

nice job my friend, sounds very good and we can se you love to do this, congrats!

Very nice drum and great playing!

@bassai2010 Thanks for the compliment. I build these drums here in the US from local woods and also build custom. My playing is anything but great. Check out Adama Drame - he's my favorite solo artist. If you haven't heard of Famoudou Konate, check him out as well... One of the best!

Nice solo. One of the best I've heard on KZbin. I also have a synthetic head djembe; am vegetarian, but not vegan (yet). thanks for sharing

bad slap :D

bravo !

He looks like he is really enjoying himself and it actually looks like fun!

He is amazing at playing the Balafon. This music is so nice and relaxing, it kind of reminds me of a nursery rhyme song or something or a childhood song.

@Infiengham I can get them for you, They come pre-molded for 13, 14, and 15inch djembe heads. The fit and heading is very important to be correct in order to make them sound as natural as possible. Let me know if you are interested in a vegan drum! :)

Hello! Where can we buy nuskyns? What the diameters?
