What's the reputation of Toca Congas?

Postby mrhands » Sun Dec 12, 2010 7:28 pm

I found out that Toca made fiberglass congas that are 30'' tall. I have been looking at fiberglass congas for a while. What's their reputation? I was looking at the Custom Deluxe Fiberglass congas and was thinking about their Champagne Sparkle. Anyone play Toca's? How do they compare to Meinl, LP, Pearl?

I'd say that if you are comparing the above companies relevantly/relatively similar lines that they are pretty similar. Adding the caveat that I don't have that much experience with fiberglass congas.

My first set, picked up a drum at a time, is two LP Classics for tumba and segundo with a Toca LE quinto. They seem to fit together just fine in all respects.

I have lots of toca drums and have played lots over the years .Great sounding and very durable drums indeed . As has been said LP and toca are made in the same factory and are owned by the same company .
