Thats one of the best pictures I have seen of Isla congas..
Mario should place it on his web page..

His web page definately does not do his drums any justice.
This photo clearly shows the colors sizes and models of his drums..

Thanks for posting it.

That is a good pciture, thanks for posting Congalero.
Hope Mario is not too wipped out, and continues nicely on my set.
I noticed the Corona cerveza :D actually thats a good idea. I'll take some cold ones when I pick up my set.
