Try the "Tomas Cruz Conga Method", (book and DVD, Mel Bay Publishing) volumes II and III. It's based on a Cuban school of conga drumming,with an empahasis on Timba. There are some really interesting rhythms (and variations of standard rhythms) in these books, many of which I've never encountered before. I bought my copies from Isaac at Funky Tradition.com

Hi Trevor,
If you want to work on your soloing, some instructional material that comes to mind that might be helpful to you is:
LP Drum Solos Vol.1, Vol.2, Vol.3
LP Drum Solos Revisited
Hope this helps!
Best,
Jorge Ginorio
