It all would depend on what kind of music it is played,for example is somebody is going to bang the basic 'tumbao' in and R&B band,or a just a basic 'Tumbao' in a Salsa Band,there is not need for anything else(like when I'm playing with DJ's I only use two congas and the timbales),but if you trying to put together a multi-Guaguanco,Mozambique,or multi-Yoruba's riff, then you are talking about a different dimension,also I need to point out that the quinto was incorporated to the Tumba and Conga some time ago,to facilitate the slap with one hand,or double slap.Gerry Zaragemca.
