Posted: Fri Feb 09, 2007 3:51 amHey folks-I just bought my first new set of congas. LP Classics-natural with chrome hardware. I've been playing an old matador wood quinto and a Fiberglass LP original conga for the past 15 years and thanks to my lovely wife was able to save up and get new tubs! :laugh:
So i've been trying to break em in. As you can probably guess my old tubs were super broken in and felt great to play. while these new drums sound and look good, they feel way to new and "foreign" to me. I've been playing about and hour every night for the past week and have been tuning em up pretty high to get the skins to set properly. does anyone use any other methods or techniques to break in new drums? Obviously I'm new at having new drums! :;):
