You need to listen to old Johnny Rodriguez recordings playing Tumbadoras.

His Tapa'o is sweet.
Here he is playing with Cheo Feliciano -

They're not videos, just music. But listen to his conga work.

I'd always wondered why Eddie Montalvo played with 2 fingers ... now I know.
What a great testament to this man, his determination to play even with 2 fingers and plays better and more solid than most!
