Hello everyone,
New to the board and just wonder if anyone could tell me what brand these may be?

Unfortunately I don't have any background on these as I had these pictures sent via a friend from the U.S. that thought I may be interested in them.
Would they be worth persuing?

In a word, no. they're fairly cheaply made, lighter weight woods and the hardware is really thin.

Hey Randyc,

Welcome to the forum. Your post prompted me to show my own recently aquired mexican drum (heavily modified).

How do they sound? Worth getting new skins for? If so Moperc is the way to go for us Canadians.

Hi Darrell,
I haven't actually seen these 'live' so I can't comment on the sound. Just a deal a friend was cookin up for me in the U.S. (I think I'll take a pass). I did however just p/u a Conga on Friday that I'll post for comments.
Cheers, Randy.

I believe they are called "Zim-Gar" Mexican congas...these were similar to my first Mexican congas which were "Zim-Gar" made in Mexico...back in the 60's...

They are as Mexican as Pancho Villa and Guacamole. Maybe put new skins on them and always keep the lugs properly lubricated. When finances and time permits do an upgrade.
