-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These are great looking and sounding LP Classic Congas. Included with the congas is the LP double conga stand. I am the original owner and have owned them a little over a year. The congas are in near mint condition. I replaced the original water buffalo heads with some mule skin heads I bought from Isaac. I still have the original heads and will include them with these congas. There is only one small nick on one of the drums. I am asking $600 for everything. I can't ship these, so they must be picked up in Houston. Pics are available at http://photos.yahoo.com/heyitsrob. Please mail me at heyitsrob@yahoo.com or call me at 832-867-8580 with any questions.

ok look I have made up my mind what Im going to do here, Im going to steer clear of the elcheapo's for sure this time, But I still have a tight budget to follow so what I plan to do is this. I will get one drum at a time, sinse I already play meinl set to me they sound pretty darn good esspecially for a low line set, I will go with a step up from that which is the Meinl Louis Conte Artist Series Congas I like the looks and the reviews I read from these and like I said I already play meinl congas so anything above that to me is a step in a higher direction and thats where Im headed. I cant afford to go any higher then these, even LP classics are out of my reach so im going to go for these. Thanks for all the tips and helps guys.
