Adding a Quinto?

[mydogsowner]

I haven't posted for awhile here, but still check in from time to time to read up and learn.

So, I am thinking of adding a New Gon Bops Mariano Series Quinto to my already existing Gon Bops Tumbao Pro Conga and Tumba Set.

I know the hardware is different, etc. But I am wondering if it's an acceptable practice to mix drum models in a set? Or, will the tone, volume, etc. sound too "off" together?

I can get the Quinto at a good price, and may do so anyhow just to have the drum for something different to play.

Nothing wrong with mixing and matching at all.

Thanks again BnB for replying.

Amazon has the series at a STEAL. There is also an additional 10% right now too with FREE Shipping. I just had to get me an early XMas Gift.

If anyone else has thought about this set, I would get them now at their price. Cheaper than used.

Mixing is part all part of the tradition in conga drumming I didnt see any cubans playing matched sets of drums when i was there , all totally bashed up and different heights , different makes and different heads etc . Sounded amazing though .

I wish they offered the tumba in the same color as the conga.

CAN YOU PLEASE POST PICTURES OF YOUR QUINTOS FOR SALE, SPECIALLY THE ISLA REQUINTO?

Actually, I think the pic may be generic? You may want to call and inquire as I have only seen these in one color on-line? Maybe they look darker/lighter in different lighting?
