Custom HR Conga Set ...

Postby Jaisen Torres » Wed Jun 20, 2012 6:37 pm

I ordered these a while back , I just got them last Thursday .
This is my custum HR Trio. This set is unique & one of a kind.
This set consist of an 11" quinto , 11 3/4 tres golpe & last an
13 " salidor .
The set was fashioned out of triple a grade cedar / cedro ...
The hardware is all chrome , with a mirror finish ...
The hardware is superior in every sense of the word .
The 5 bands are all inlayed .
They sound as beautifull as they look ....
Every drum is true to its definitive sound , each tambor compliments
the next gracefully...

I feel very lucky & blessed .... I will take better pics in time, but
here's a few off my phone .

Anyone interested in buying any HR products please feel free to
get at me , thanks ...
Yeye* Obamoro.

The wood grain is really nice! I like the way these drums look with the inlaid bands and you can see from the picture that the craftsmanship is excellent. Nice set of drums and refreshing to see something other than the usual Oak, Mahogany, Ash, etc. The HR logo looks to be branded on, like the way they brand Cattle. Very appropriate since part of these drums ( the heads ) come from a cow. I am jealous! Very nice set Jaisen.

I got to play these drums a few days ago and they sound as good as they look. Man, what a great set of drums.

Thanks Bongo Billy, Now as for the pics on genes page
I'm not sure cause I realy don't get on Facebook .
But it could be cause he has played them at my house &
He played them at my rumba on the 16.
Matter of fact Gene has lots of pics of some of my drums ...


Anyway Billy, I wanted to ask you if you still have your Juniors ?

Jaisen...the wood grain on those drums is something else! I just had to save that group picture for my photo album. Altogether like that they look like a bunch of Barrels from the Winery. Don't you go wheeling and dealing away your set of these man. They are keepers!!
