Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2013 8:23 amHey, sorry I'm just seeing this
Primo barriles are usually 12-14 inches
Buleadores 14-16 inches,
These are approximate as barriles are a bit more rudimentary than congas
(also barriles are converted from congas outside of PR, but those really aren't barriles are they)
starting a project up?

Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2013 8:31 amAverage height 22"to 24"
Southern style Barriles can be 28"-36" (Buleadors) as they are typically sat on.
The traditional southern style drums and style of playing have been slowly eroding however

Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2013 11:42 amTo me bomba barriles sound is closer to djembe than conga.
Perhaps due the thinner "goat head" normally used on barriles.
