Hi - found this site by accident. Hope someone can help me. I've been playing congas for 20years on an old CP set. Got into so many bad habbits and, in all honesty, haven't really mastered anything. Starting to take more time to practice now but I need a better set of drums - ideally Quinto with Conga with Tumba. I want to spend approx £800 sterling ($1200??) and do not want to upgrade unless I come into some serious cash. I want drums with as much of a professional sound as possible but haven't a clue what ones ones to go for. I know LP are big but comments I have seen could suggest that there are better brands for less money.
Any suggestions will be hugely appreciated....Thanks...col
