Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2007 5:33 pmI know that drumset players often prefer suspension mounts on their drums, so as to allow the shells to "ring". Apparently the solid-mounts can dampen some of the drum shell's ability to sound out.
Well, I got to thinking about congas and other types of drums. I prefer to play my congas standing up, and I really like the heavy LP conga stands that have the casters on the bottom. But these require small mounting brackets to be mounted on the drum shells, and, also bolt holes drilled in the shells.
I know that congas and other drums have thicker shells than drumset srums do. But do these brackets and bolt holes affect the sound on a conga or similar drum at all?
