what about congas? Have you played them in the same venue environment? Bongos which are higher pitched will cut through without mic-ing. But yes---unless it's an acoustic set-- with all of the electronically amped guitars, basses and bashing drummers-- you bet I use all the amping I can get : 5 mics into a mixer for a 1/4" out. But I guess you'll say it's "bad technique". And I won't argue.
