Do I need a tumba?
Posted: Wed Mar 04, 2015 5:55 pm
Here's my question,
I have a set of two LP original congas and a quinto. Currently I play them tuned approximately G Bb C, lowest to highest. I've been toying with the idea of finding a tumba, but to be honest the set sounds pretty good to me as is.
Would I get enough of a deeper sound with a larger (12.5") drum to justify purchasing one? Would it open up the possibility of tuning the low drum lower? what do you all think? I mostly play in church, so I'm mostly drumming along to rock/pop style music. Thanks. Four drums would probably be overkill for me (to be honest three is most of the time), so I'd probably be swapping out the tumba for one of the congas.
