Position - 3 congas position for a right hand playe

[Slapo]

If any of you raw hide lovers (or synthetic too) can tell me the best way to set up (position) for 3 congas (quinto,conga and tumbadora)

[Kino]

I like to set up my "tumbadoras" in the following manner:




Lowest
Medium
Highest

The idea is to have the lowest pitch "tumbadora" in front of the higest pitch one as close as possible.

Hope this helps.

Mine is similar, but yet a little different.


Conga.
Conga. Tumba.
Quinto.

Hi guys the way Ray B sets up is the more typical way of setting up if you want to play on both sides-Left-right in your playing. Unlike Poncho who plays with 3 to his right. Which is the way I started out back in 66. But band leaders back then wouldn't allow drummers to play with 3 congas they said it was too much back then. I was playing three across before a lot of cats were in NYC,back in the sixties. I can now play up to 6-7 congas if I want to 3 to my left 3 to my right and one in the middle kinda in a V form... At your Service..JC JOHNNY CONGA...I prefer 4 congas, for melodic purposes,somtimes 5.
