The drums sounded different to me , Could it have anything to do with the room I played them in? Also all Heads are not the same thickness.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Therefore, specifically re: congas, the woods (either Rubber Wood or White Ash) and the skins (water buffalo) should be the same. There might be some minor design difference(s) as far as how high or low the belly of the drums are.
Thus, my conclusion that both Tycoons and LPs, wood and skin being equal, should sound generally the same.
