Blango,

Sorry, but I'm kinda slow at moment. Which master are you talking about?

Just curious,

Matthew Smith...

Johnny, my apologies-- I misunderstood your comments the first time, and guess I wasn't in the best of moods when I read it.

If you'll look carefully at the Bubinga Conga , you'll
notice in the details that it's actually a Matthew Smith (Ritmo) creation.
Frederico is likely just reselling his conga.
Below is from his listing in a Music Trade Magazine:

FREDRICO PERCUSSION : The company offers Wah-Wah shakers, Zango shakers, large cowbells, frottoirs (Zydeco rub-boards), skin maracas, dumbeks, bubinga bongos, Ritmo congas, and singing quartz crystal bowls."

Ahhh... I wondered about the visual similarity between the two....


Anyone know Matthew's pricing on the bubinga stuff?

[Omelenko]

Hey guys,

I'll put my neck on the line and bet anything that the congas shown were made by Matthew Smith. Matthew made a bubinga snare drum that Mario and I sold for him on Ebay. I'll bet my left nut (cojon izquierdo). Just look at the details,hardware,sideplates, crown. If that's not a Matthew Smith conga,then Santa Claus is for real !
You can't show new tricks to an old dog like me.
Suenalo mulato ! Dario

Yes,

..it reads clearly on hs promotional material that he sells Ritmo drums.

He's not trying to hide it.
