I must admit I have more drums than I would ever play out with. I don't want to lug all of them. I only use Conga / Tumba for gigs but have tons of fun with more at home and for recording. I Just ordered a set of Volcano Percussion congas (My Dream Set) . MaSSivedrums your drums look fantastic!

I played an old-skool Cosmic Percussion quinto that had a goat or deer skin on it last Sunday.
It was a full size quinto, red in color with traditional hardware.
It looked just like an LP classic except slightly smaller.
It was one of the best quintos I've ever played.
Here are a few pics I found on the web, there are a few of these still left out there.

Hi Vinnie,

Don't you or didn't you have Islas? I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that you were inquiring about them sometime last year and you (according to my recollection) ended up buying them. If so, may I ask what happened to them?

Thanks,

From memory, I believe Vinnie sold his Islas.
