I can understand that, and I gathered that as long as yu tune them an octive apart bassiclly yur good to go.
So my pastor just emails me earlier and told me he got the congas, they are at church waitning for me to try them on for size ... So I hop in the car and drive over they are really nice set of Blue sunburst Meinl Headliner congas!
Sound is great as far as I can tell. Granted this is my first ride on the conga trian. The seemed to be tuned well as an octive apart, match with key board the bigger conga was in key of A.
So we played a few songs slow and fast, sounded ok but I will say I was used to the thin skinned 15 inch djembe which outa one drum seemed easier to atain various sounds out of. So looks like I will have to get the feel of playing these think skinned congas, its a different animal in a way.
It was a wierd experience I will say that, this music isnt latin, jazz, salsa, cuban. It was gospel and I played according to rythm time not really ambiently, in other words I played them like a bass and snare drum with a few rolls and hits in between, is this cool do to playing congas?
