Isla Percussion - Isla Okonkolo

[ralph]

Ok...I just took the plunge and laid down a deposit for an okonkolo w/ Mario....after seeing the posts, and talking to him a couple of times, i decided to see what the fuss is all about, i'll let everyone know in about a month....if all goes well, i will be completing the set in the near future, if anyone has any questions about his drum i encourage you to give him a call, he is usually available and easy to talk to...

finally got the okonkolo, from Mario @ Isla

I believe Mario outdid himself...honestly I was a little skeptical at first...but after talking w/ Mario a couple of times...he laid my fears to rest...not only is Mario a cool down to earth individual the drum speaks for itself...rest assured I am working on getting a whole set of bata from him, so this is the start...sorry i couldn't post bigger pics...Isla may be the new kid on the block...but they are making some noise!!!!
