thought I would post a picture of my congas. I have 2 congas a tumba and a quinto. All LP Classics. I will be upgrading to high quality skins as soon as I can which should bring new life to the sound of these congas.

I also love to play my LPs, even if it is a colourful bunch... I know.. :roll:
Purchased one after the other over the last 8 years.
The skins are: Mule on the Gio quinto,
thick cow on Classic conga and still the original skins on Matador
and the Afro Elite tumbadora.

For me, I can only say this set really rocks.. :D
Amazingly, you do not notice much tonal difference in the drums,
they sound one of a kind - well, it´s an LP family of 3 + 1 Afro brother :lol:
Peace & drum
