Newbie questions / LP Classic vs Patato vs Lp Salsa
Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2020 12:36 am
I took up congas about 10 years ago and really enjoyed it but my work did not allow for enough time to put serious practice into it. I'm now retired and have a desire along with the time. I want to buy Quality Equipment.
Questions :
#1. I see many choices on YouTube for instruction but is it absolutely necessary for me to have an instructor? I don't really see any in the local area where I live.
#2 is it too much to also take up Bongos while I'm learning to play conga?
#3 LP Classic vs Patato vs LP Salsa (used pair)? I know the fiberglass drums will be louder which I don't need but they seem to be very popular . The used drums in my area are typically within a few hundred dollars of brand new.
#4 if I buy a new would it help the sound of a new player to have upgraded skins such as Manito?
Thank you for any suggestions
