Product Description
Meinl
All of LuisÆ specifications have been achieved with the MEINL Artist Series Luis Conte Signature Congas. They combine the charm and sound of the old traditional Cuban drums with modern features and innovations. The congas are equipped with traditional rims and are mounted as close to the shell as possible, and when combined with MEINLÆs True Skin Buffalo Heads, enable an even more controlled sound and easier tuning. This is a complete set of 3 including Quinto, Conga & Tumba.

I've had these congas for three years already and they create a whole and wonderful sound. The skins are resonant, thick and made of buffalo hide. The slaps were hard to get in the beginning, but as the skins stretch evenly, it gives that very sharp "pak" when you hit the conga and the quinto. I guess it is an issue of tuning it properly. It is a joy to play them because they create a very resonant authentic sound. The tumba is excellent in producing that. When I play in a band, they position the congas away from resonant wooden walls because the vibrations reflected and created by the drums make this nice whole booming sound which, at times, overpowers the sound system in the church. I actually play the congas now behind a plexiglass cage. Montunos and Guaguancos are beautiful sounding with them. With good care they could sound very well for a long time. The price they have it now as a set is a steal. I wish I was able to purchase them at this price before. Conclusion, these are excellent congas.
