Tycoon congas - Anyone tried?

[Borny]

Hi!
This is my first time here. I have one question:
Anyone tried the Tycoon congas?

[JohnnyConga]

Hello Borny and WELCOME TO OUR FAMILY OF DRUMMERS...tell us a bit about you and your playing history. Tycoon congas are a new brand of congas from Thailand. They look good from what I have seen, but I haven't heard what they sound like. 99.9% of congas are being made in Thailand so they must be ok...siam oak wood....water buffalo heads...just like Pearl congas...."JC" Johnny Conga...

As JC said, welcome to our drumming family.

Hey JC, them drums strike an incredible likeness to the new wooden LP Raul Rekow signature series tumbadoras.




Hope you enjoy your stay Borny.

Thank you! I have played drums and congas/percussion for about 26 years, but just as an amateur. A friend of mine just bought a Yamaha Stage custom drumset black with gold lugs, and tycoon has one type of congas similar to those colors. I think that will look great on the stage....

hey drum bros,
I just touched come tycoon congas in the Drum Shop in Perth yesterday and I was impressed with the look and construction but... the skins mmmm they did not make them sound too good. They were the platinum series. I am sure with good skins they will make a decent addition to the brand of congas that are out there!
Happy Drumming,
Steady Freddy
