My Honest Review Of My Moperc Congas After 1 Month

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Nice job Bro - Appreciate the detail and perspective.

[@renev8223]

Eric. All I have to say. What a great! Choice.👍🏼 they sound incredible. Thanks

[@greglee50]

It’s good to see you and hear you again it’s been so long I haven’t heard you but now you’re here I’ll video doing your thing your clinic which Gurd loved it take care peace love and happiness love Greg

[@richatdgardner34]

I really appreciate your break down of each drum. You answered all my questions I had on these drums. I just play for the love but I’m going to buy some

[@mikepugliese5039]

Best way to find out how they feel and sound is to try them for yourself, trust me you will love they experience... They are absolutely amazing!!!

[@skaught64ee]

Hey Eric... another amazing video on these incredible drums... time to start saving... your attention to detail regarding your explanations mirrors Moperc's attention to detail in their products. An amazing partnership for sure. All the best, and thanks again for doing this. Cheers!!

[@gordonjones4531]

The white oak that I have are dry and precise with very little overtone. They are wonderfully heavy and solid. The most well made drum I have have played to date…… peace. If you get to Chicago in the summer we can jam on the lakefront. Happy holidays to you and your family.

[@-joserosajr]

Great review of your congas Eric. There are overtones and then there are OVERTONES. Great explanation on the reasons for that. 👍🏻

[@percussion_mike]

Thanks so much Eric, your content is the best!!!!!

[@grahamtracey4275]

Thanks Eric. I've had my eyes on these for a long time. Maybe when my ship comes in. Until then, it's LP Classics- Recently, I got tired of my 11" ringing like a beast, so I tuned it down, tuned my conga up, and they've switched places. They sound great now. You see any problem with this seemingly obvious fix? G

[@Ken-wp2fr]

Thanks for turning me on to Moperc I have met with Francis. Now I’m saving up for a set of 4 conga’s

[@Abiwrl]

These have an amazing color!🔥🙌🏼💪🏼🫡

[@dilmarjk]

You are lucky to have access and be able to purchase these congas. Here in Brazil there is nowhere to buy and there are no stores with this product on the internet... other than the price that would be absurd.

[@congatick]

Thank you Eric for your detailed review of Mopercs. It gave me more data and sound sample than any other source before - much appreaciate that! It made me to think again about upgrade but still a lot to concider regarding these days economics... Just one question. Based on your experience what head sizes of Mopercs would you recommend for me as I am using set of three: Tumba tuned low (E3 - G3) conga (B3 - D4) and quinto (F4 and higher). I was thinking about 13"-12"-11" setup but I was so surprised hearing your conga tuned as high as my quinto without any problems. Thanks for your help.

[@resedabear]

I'm focused on the 11.75" Conga because that is what I have right now. Its sounds great, even with the 2mm thick steer Manito heads. I like a versatile sound to explore a wider range of tones. My issue was with then traditional rims, but you did answer my concern about where to place the lower palm on the rim by re-evaluating my technique and hand position. I know that I will cut my hand on those rims, as they appear to be very beefy compared to other traditional rims. I'm also wondering how much that Conga weighs - I'm assuming well over 35 lbs. The shape its perfect - a full belly body vs. LP's Classic tapered shape and/or Gon Bops' narrowish body on Mariano/California series. Thanks for going through all of these drums, Eric!

[@vedantapaulo]

Hi! I enjoy your vídeos! Thank you! I have a question that may be you can answer - in your opinion what are the best congas, the Giovanny galaxy or the Moperc? May be you can make a comparative vídeo of both, that would be very nice!

[@1DayAsADog]

I ended up using thinner heads on mine. I had thicker ones as well. The dry sound is something getting use to. I personally don’t think that they’re worth the money. They’re beautiful but the sound is not 1200 worth. Get galaxy palladiums or older galaxies from GH.

[@rodrigodiazdevivar1734]

What is your experience in the shipping of these instruments? This went without any problems?

[@APercussionLife]

No problems at all!

[@spunkito3]

I purchased a Moperc conga after watching your video!

[@Geekeric]

Hey Eric, are these drums totally custom models or are they mass-produced drums anyone can buy? What makes me nuts about my congas is that the maker doesn't mark anywhere exactly what model they are so I can't be sure I'm buying the right replacement heads. I think if a maker loves their drums, they should give them a name!

[@APercussionLife]

These are completely handmade drums by Moperc… Not mass produced. this particular model is called Custom Cubano… and you can pick and choose how you want your drums made… you can check their website to see what they offer and ask for a quote www.moperc.com

[@ricardocrispinjimenez4028]

Moperc congas , super

[@Nestorcpa]

Which bags do you recommend for the congas?

[@michaelduran1680]

Great drums,have you ever seen Patato play on 2 tumbas ? I’ve seen a video and yea, not much overtones. Ya just have to Love it!!!

[@lardtamps]

Ok suenas bien. pero que serie en esa marca seria y la medidas la ideal para tocar diferentes generos como por ejemplo CUMBIAS,SALSA ,basicamente algo que se use cuando estas en un grupo vesatil gracias de antemano por la respuesta

[@JohnFKelly-jx2tk]

Mannnnnnnm! Good & sweet review! Can't wait to hear Patato's groove on your new congas! I hope you were able to watch the Patato video i forwarded to you. Let me know!

[@CajonMaster]

WOW! 😉

[@miqueassanchez6835]

Hey Eric Perez, What is the best wood for congas? #Moperc #Congas #APercussionLife

[@lardtamps]

Estoy pensando seriamente comprar un set pero vi su pagina y tiene como 3 seris salsa,tropical y no recuerdo la otra de echo cual seri son esas tuyas.

[@mr.5545]

Hello Eric . So moperc uses manito skins ? Or do they make the skins too . If they do can you show us how they sound with the moperc skins ?

[@APercussionLife]

They provide skins from the sources they use and they’re premium skins Ike Manito… Below is a link to a video where I’m using as my main drum a drum with the skin they provide and it sounds awesome

[@mr.5545]

Great thanks Eric

[@nathantijerina9681]

I am about to buy some Moperc congas. I have followed them for years. Why did you not get the 5th drum and why did you choose the quinto as the one you didn’t get? I am trying to see is I should go for four or 5. Thanks

[@rodrigodiazdevivar1734]

Hola compadre. Do you know which type of wood are your custom Cubano congas? I saw that Moperc has different types of wood available from American White Ash to Brazilian Mahogany.

[@APercussionLife]

These are North American White Ash

[@rodrigodiazdevivar1734]

@@APercussionLife Thanks for the info! I'm a percusionist from the Netherlands. I want to buy the Custom Cubano congas but I am not sure if it makes a big difference for the sound if I choose Ash wood or Brazilian Mahogany or maybe other type of wood they have available.

[@APercussionLife]

Great!! There’s most definitely a sound difference between ash and Mahogany… I haven’t played Moperc Mahogany drums yet but have played mahogany congas before and there’s a noticeable difference in tone.

[@rodrigodiazdevivar1734]

@@APercussionLife Thanks for the fast response. Your videos are very usefull, thumbs up for you! Cuídate mucho y un abrazo desde Holanda.

Question; who do you play with and who have you recorded with? Also, have you composed some original tunes?

[@manolosalasfirepercussion5436]

Maestro, tenía un tutorial de un solo de Giovanni Hidalgo ¿lo eliminó?

[@rodrigodiazdevivar1734]

Hello Eric. I have another question for you. Several days ago I contacted Moperc via their webpage asking for a quote. But I still haven't got an answer from de Moperc Sales Team. What's your experience with the communication? Does it take some time to get an answer? Are they very busy with their work?

[@APercussionLife]

Yeaaaa well I know they’ve been backed up a bit… partly my fault haha but they do eventually get back to you… just something to keep in mind, they are a very small company with very few employees… but they eventually get back to you with what you need and then work on your drums in a timely manner.

[@APercussionLife]

But when did you send in your quote request?

[@rodrigodiazdevivar1734]

@@APercussionLife It was about the friday before. But how funny I just got an answer now from the sales team! Maybe they have read my question to you hahahaha! But thanks for the information. They have send me a Paypal link. I have to pay a minimum deposit of 10% of the total price. Next I have to make installment payments while the drums are being constructed.

[@APercussionLife]

@@rodrigodiazdevivar1734 great!!! Yea you can either pay the full amount or by installments, but they do require 10% down so they can start the building process. Which drums are you trying to get???

[@rodrigodiazdevivar1734]

Bingba review coming soon!

[@franafrokan]

Eric is getting his Bingba drum soon! Get ready!

[@thestravaiger8102]

Did you say it's a 1mm skin on the 10"?.

[@nookzter]

Hey Eric what did you meant with the drum thats gonna break in alot faster at 28:20?

[@APercussionLife]

Because of its use… since it’s the drum I’m using more (11.75”), which then causes me to change its tuning range more and it’s the one most frequently hit…. Drums require time to “break in”… the more you use it, the faster the drum settles in to get an even better sound… so after a month it’s the drums thats broken in more since it’s been the most used drum out of the 4

[@josecorrea1504]

Eric, why did you decide to stay with Manito Percussion skins and not the Moperc ones? I got my quote for the ones I want from Moperc, but should I consider getting the Manito Percussion skins? I have Meinl congas now, should I just buy the heads from Manito Percussion?

[@APercussionLife]

Hey Jose! It was just a personal choice for me, but the skins Moperc has to offer are high quality as well… they wouldn’t put bad skins on their drums. I will have the skins Moperc offers on some other stuff I’m getting soooo yea haha

[@APercussionLife]

And for your other question…. Upgrading your skins on your Meinl’s will make a change in the sound of your drums for the better… but I’m letting you know… as amazing my Meinls sounded with Manito skins on them…. It doesn’t compare to the Mopercs sound… and that’s not on the Manito skins… that’s just on the build of the drum and Mopercs build is 🔥🔥🔥

[@josecorrea1504]

@@APercussionLife Thank you Eric for the input. I will be going forward with the Mopercs soon. You have yourself a great day! Keep on doing your thing!

[@andsorexsorex5907]

Amazing drums !! I guess with nuskyn by remo these congas would sound great too ! It would be nice if you give it a try

[@eriksvensson2433]

Awesome!

[@percussionindependence8147]

super sound!! I drool just looking at the skin of these drums!!

[@solomongrundy6806]

Those are manito percussion skins. You can get them there. Based on Eric's recommendation in another video I ended up buying some skins and put them on really cheap CP congas. The experiment was a total success. The help from manito percussion was great and made the process of putting the heads great. The result of the experiment: I get people telling me how great the CPs sound. Now, these are not old school CPs, these are the LP lowest line. I just recently got Meinl congas and with h20 Buffalo skins (booo!). I will be getting some new skins from manito. I recommend it. :-)

[@greglee50]

Brilliant

[@condeboricua]

Eric, Hermano... let us know when you're able to come to visit the Moperc shop in Quebec. Soy Boricua living in the capital (Ottawa, Ontario) and won't mind to meet you there. Maybe to help me pick my set. Esto está puro encendio 😁

Eric no disrespect to you but I feel you are in title to give a great review on those congas...considering Moperc is endorsing you and your channel....its hard for me to make a choice on purchasing my next congas brother....on one of ur past video you did say why buy an expensive drum...(lp)...keep in mind your drums are expensive...🤔

[@fredericquemades3054]

J ai reçu un de leur tambour dernièrement et effectivement le son est tres bon et la construction de tres bonne facture mais pas exceptionnel pour le prix donc vous pouvez avoir un son équivalent pour bien moins chère. Si vous voulez acheter une conga artisanale, foncez mais sachez que le rapport qualité/ prix n y est pas. (Attention au coût au passage aux douanes, à votre charge)
