Summary: Shocking quality in miniature size
Comment: This drum (can it really be called a conga at this size? let's just stick to drum...)
is a real instrument. The construction of the shell and the quality of the head,
hoop and tensioners all indicate that this is not a toy -- it's meant to be played.
But you should know that this a very small drum -- the head diameter is about
3 1/2". So it can't really be played like a conga, especially in terms of getting
any kind of a bass note with the palm of your hand (the palm of your hand
practically covers the entire head). But for what it is, it sounds great. As a finger
drum, it sounds more like something from South Asia than from South or Central
America. Very nice ring tone. I like this drum a lot, but mostly just to fool around
with. I can't imagine it being very useful as an accompaniment to anything other
than maybe a single acoustic guitar, and I can't really imagine it being part of a
larger percussion ensemble. But as a "apartment drum", it's great!
