Just checked out a set of the DW Gon Bops Tumbaos and an Alex Acuna conga DW Gon Bops at Haight St. Music.
The Tumbaos are not a bad drum, I would definately recommend these to people looking for a starter set, they are quite a bit better tha LP Aspires and the Meinl starter tubs.
The Alex Acuna was'nt bad either, pretty good tone and light. I like the finish, there is a good contrast of the darker grain to the lighter wood. Hardware on both seems up to snuff.
