I currently have a set of Spirit In The Wood Figured Ash solid shell congas. They are around the same price or more then the Manito solid shell drums. I also have Matthew Smith, Fats, LP's and so on and so fourth. I take all my drums out to play. I use protective bumpers on the lugs. I travel with my solid shell congas. Currrently they are with me in Thailand. I pack them in and out of taxis regularly for gigs. My point being , drums are meant to be played and I do not let the price of the instruments effect where I take them. This is my philosophy, to take them and play them.
