Has anyone played these 1/2 height congas? They're about 15" (40cm) tall, sold as a pair with 8" (20cm) and 9" (23cm) heads. THese are not the 'miniature tunable' congas they sell for $35 USD.
Ritchie Gajate-Garcia demonstrates one of these in a video, but he's only demonstrating the effect of covering or uncovering the bottom of a conga--not actually playing the drum.
Has anyone here played on these little fellas--they look like they'd be fun to add to the conga set, perhaps instead on the bongo?
ACTUALLY....I JUST FINISHED PLAYING THEM LAST NIGHT AT A PARTY..........NOT ON MY LIST OF THE NEXT THINGS TO BUY...............INCREDIBLE TONE FOR LITTLE DRUMS BUT NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR THE CONGUERO HANDS..........GOOD LUCK
