These are my two Valje vintage 1972 congas. They were recently restored and after a few months returned to me (packaged incredibly well) by "Resolution Drums" Ralph Flores, Tom Flores son. Just in case you are new here or don't know,Tom was the original Valje owner/maker in L.A. California. I am very happy about the job he did restoring my drums. I must say they came back better then expected! I was shocked!
This is a video of the Pillon rhythm using my 2 Valjes.

They are 2mm cowskins (brown). I am looking for the before photos and video.
