Alright, one last one! Here is a shot of my Palladiums, two 14" on either end, and two 12.5" in the center formation. Heaviest drums I've ever had, and I mean pesao!

Alafia Jorge!
Espero que estes bien y en muchas bendiciones mi hermano!
Si cada ano me compraba (con el income tax), un set de congas nuevas. Hay gente que collectan varias cosas (stamps, statues, baseball cards), y para me son congas! Estoy esperando un set (3) de los nuevos GonBops California model. Estaban supuesto de llegar al fin del mez pasao, pero sigo esperando!

Cuando los recibo los enseno aqui!

La bendicion hermano!

Onile,

Gracias!!!!! I have owned them since 1996. They were made from Caribbean Mahogany (Caoba) by Natalio "Junior" Tirado out of New York City. Unfortunately, "Junior" have been in a state of coma for couple of years now. Ocassionally you see some of his drums show up on E-bay for auction, the last ones sold for about $1,600.00, two drums only.

Saludos,

Jorge Ginorio

Tamboricua,
Que pena las noticia del Junior, que Papa Dios lo acuñe en sus brazos!

Gracias por compartir el informacion!
Oh, by the way.....is that your baby girl on the "Rhythmweb site?"
If so, she is adorable! I have a six year old daughter who I'm teaching bongos to, she's picked up the martillo pattern so far. I taught her the "mommy/papi" technique a couple of years ago, it's so much fun to see them evolve!

La bendicion mi hermano!

Indeed, "Junior" situation is very sad!

Yeah, that's my little girl on the Rhythmweb site. She is 4 already. I also have a two year old son, check out attached picture. True blessings from above!

Maferefun Olodumare!
You are definitely blessed mi hermano! Que familia!
I actually have two adult children, 29 and 27 year olds, and Papa Dios provided me with a blessing six years ago, por esa razon la nombramos "Destiny!"

¡Los niños son un regalo de Papa Dios, no los entrega para que los cuidemos hasta llegar ser adultos!
Hopefully by then, they'll turn around and by us a house on the island for retirement! :laugh:

Suave!
Tony
