In Mario's own words, this bata "sounds incredible!" Mario did indicate that he would fill out the set in cherry wood for whoever has this one-off drum. That is good news.
I am going to keep this cherry wood okonkolo around until I can figure out if I can use it in any of the music that I play. If I later determine that it is better suited for someone else, then I will offer it up here on congaplace first.
