Buying a conga

Some of my perspective on what to look for and how to decide what you might want to buy for your first conga.

Thanks!

I just subscribed great explanation of how to look for the right Conga I am a newbie even Dow I love salsa so the recommendation is Palisades LP? With Water Buffalo skin to start techniques even Dow I have good ears on differential of sounds but your explanations of what to look for to know that you’re not making a mistake thinking you’re buying the perfect drum and you’re not checking for details depending of what you want to play a drum for, I love music and at my 67 yrs is something will entertain me we family gather in the house and yard thank you

[@pcastag1]

Cool cool! Yeah a pallisades will sound fine! For those always goo d to see in person. Enjoy!

[@armandotorres-iy1cw]

Awesome video...natural skin has a warmer sound in my opinion but they're hard on the hands. I heard that you can urinate on your hands and of course clean them after....its good for the skin.

A GOOD VIDEO AS PLASTIC SKINS WILL NEVER COME CLOSE TO THE REAL SOUNDS OF GONGAS. I STUPIDLY LEFT MY KIT IN A GARAGE DURING WINTER AND FORGOT TO LOOSEN THOSE SKINS. MY REQUINTO CRACKED IN 3 PLACES AND I BOUGHT ALL EVANS SKINS. ODDLY THE CONGA ONE HAS NEVER SEATED PROPERLY INTO THE RIM AND IT MAKES ME FURIOUS!!!

[@gadymarcus2362]

Magnifico.

[@Joe-yi8xj]

Palisades park joints were $75 1 Year ago?!

[@donyorchs6906]

And opinión about the roy galvan congas ?!

[@agprules3775]

Is it ok to just buy a quinto as your first “conga”??

[@pcastag1]

An 11" quinto? Yeah for sure. Anything smaller won't really give you the space to practice tumbao.

[@agprules3775]

@@pcastag1 Oh ok cool, thank you for your response🙏🏽

[@canoPR]

Las de madera definitivament suenan mas profundas, Salllllllllllsaaaaaaaaa

Prefiero un djembe, lo puedo tener en mi casa flotante , llevarlo a la playa y viajar con el con toda la comodidad. En todo caso unos bongos ..la conga es demasiado grande para mi caso en concreto 😅
