I have been working with Bram over the last week or two helping him to test and fine tune the new Bongo and Conga modes and he has done an amazing job. Drumtune Pro can now correctly detect the pitches of all sizes of conga and bongos and comes with a useful recommended tuning range guide. This is a real game-changer for me as a percussionist as I can now tune to specific notes and reproduce the same tunings each time. I imagine the best players in the world can do this by ear to a piano, but for the rest of us mortals this app opens the doors to congas and bongos that sound professionally tuned. every time... I tune my Congas and Bongos as follows: Tumba D3 Conga G3 Conga Bb3 Quinto C4 Quinto D4 Hembra D4 Macho F5 There is a brilliant guide to the tunings used by some professional players starting on page 31 of this research paper: The Conga drum : development, technique, styles, improvisations and the contribution of master drummer Ramon 'Mongo' Santamaria If you want any tips or suggestions on tuning your Congas and Bongos get in touch...😁

Eric Perez from a percussion life says you can use round serving trays to put your conga drums on & I was like wow this is awesome since I can't get wood peices that easy thanks to my friend Eric for that tip! I love my LP Giovanni galaxy congas have you ever thought of trying them for the sound is amazing! Even my LP Aspire congas blend nicely in with my LP Giovanni galaxy congas which that is a plus for me!

I'm a mechanic, I feel the threads and distance from the tuning nut to the end of the tuning lugs. Keep them equal and your head will always be perfectly straight and even. :)

As always, your videos are top notch, thanks for sharing. QUESTION: If you can answer this. I’m looking to find a synthetic head that feels as close to the EXACT kind of classic rawhide heads that you have on those drums(I believe it’s that fat content that gives the heads that whitish/beige tone and feel). I’ve played Evans tri-center, Remo nuskyn and fiberskin. However, I can’t get my hands on a drum mounted with the Newest Remo Skin deep heads in order to try them out. In your experience, what feels the closest to the real thing? I love synthetics being that I live in New England, but, they all feel a little to thin to me. However, the Skyndeep appear to have a thicker feel. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.

If you're going to store your drums or if the conditions are dry or hot, de-tuning is a good idea.

Detune them after playing. Particularly during cold or dry weather leaving them tuned up can cause rawhide heads to rip

Thanks for this very useful video, some great information, especially as regards interval tuning. just one thing I am unsure about - when learning to tune my drum kit I was taught to work my way around the lugs not in sequence but by tuning opposite pairs (so, instead of 123456 i go 142536, if you can picture what I mean). I've carried this over onto my congas and always found it to be a good system. Do you think it makes a difference or am I working too hard? :) thanks!

In my experience, it doesn't make much difference if you tune in linear or "snare drum" sequence. The most important thing, is to tune each the same amount to keep the rim even.

@morganization3 жыл бұрын
The reason that this is incorrect is because before using the wrench ,you have to strike the middle of the conga head , the reason for that is to take out the slack of the skin on the head, so that when you tune and then play you will not go out of tune playing , I learned this from Patato himself , the inventor of the tuning Lug for LP percussion !

what about a quinto and a conga? Is C for the quinto and G for the conga alright? It's driving me nuts. The quinto I really want in E but with two drums it forces me to tune the quinto in a C. Hope to get a tumbadora at some stage.

Umm, you hop across like you’re tuning any other drum head... or tightening the nuts on a tire. 🤣 ‘Here comes the bride... that’s not how you tune you lie.’ Why wouldn’t you tune them to a note? Hmmm 🤪
