LP Fiberglass congas - what's the different?

Postby Victorius » Mon Jul 14, 2008 8:36 pm

Hello!
I've just wondering about LP fiberglass congas and I noticed that
Galaxy Fiberglass
Patato
Armando Perraza
have the same shell (?)
So what's the difference between them? Color? Signature and that's all?
In price diference is noticable so what I pay for? Which one is the best? Patato (lowest price)?

They have different shapes and/or construction.

Patato's are the only ones I have played on that list in fiberglass
They have a narrower bottom, definitely different shell shape.
Sound pretty good in my opinion, only played them outdoors though.

I think the Peraza's only come in that funky color scheme of his?

"Shaped identical to the Galaxy Fiberglass Congas, these drums are perfect for any style of music and are great for live playing "

They are shaped the same. The Galaxy congas have heavy duty hardware and they are heavy. They sound the same to me.
All the Best!

Yeah actually I think you guys are right, I was probably confusing
the Galaxies with Classics for some reason.

I've played the Giovanni ones in wood, just yesterday.

Isn't there an older model Galaxy with a more Classic style shape?
