JConga wrote:These are "handcrafted" drums all made from one tree of Hawaiian Mango a hardwood but light and the sound is second to none. The skins are Texas Bull hide and these drums are MADE IN AMERICA by Tom Alexander who lives in Hawaii...now mind u I recorded this on a 49 dollar webcam so imagine if i had better quality equipment the sound would be even that much better....I have been playing congas for 45 years and these ARE THE BEST! I have ever played on, and thats for real...lord knows I've had my share of drums and played on all kinds from around the world..these ARE "one of a kind" Conga drums...oh yea there are "no" glue seams to be seen either he uses a resin instead with a special way of joining the slats ...he also uses "acrylic" instead of polyurethane..which is what is used on cars...So it will not chip peel or turn yellow, like polyurethane so the "look" will remain for the life of the drums and they can actually be "buffed" as well, just like u would buff your car...the hardware is REMO hardware with REMO permission, chrome plated stainless steel...also rubber around the bottem of the drums...I am proud to have my name associated with VOLCANO PERCUSSION and Mr. Tom Alexander



I thought it looked like Remo hardware.
