I play a three drum (quinto, conga, tumba) setup plus a big 18" Remo djembe which I incorporate for accents and work into patterns, depending on the tempo and the feel of the music. The djembe seems to work within the conga context only if used very discriminately. At other times its sound is intrusive and dissonamt. I'm hoping forummers may have come across examples (or personal experience) of using a djembe within a conga setup.

Have to agree with you on the link. My research so far shows this combo as pretty much a dead end for most of us. Thanks guys for taking the moments to respond.
Percussionist had full complement: 3 conga set on stands, 2 different size Djembes on stands, every possible hand percussion piece you could imagine.
