About me

Hello, My name is Vinnie Lopez and I am a native of Brooklyn New York!
My first exposure to congas was in the parks of NY as a small child i would hear the rumberos playing and it always caught my attention. Now as an adult I began studying and playing conga and bongos. I am devoted to continuing to learn and have met some great people because of the drum!

One person I must mention Is Charlie Verdejo. This man has become a brother in music to me. I must also thank JC Johnny Conga who also teaches me so much. I am incredibly grateful to both these men for all that they have done for me. I play LP classic congas and love them I hope to upgrade the skins to mule in the near future.

I also play bongos and hope to devote more time to this beatiful instrument as I would like to improve my riffing and overall sound on bongos. I have just added a set of Pearl Marc Quinones timbales to my growing list of percussion instruments.
