Hi bsharp! Happy Holidays. I would not add a Tumbadora to that Quinto. I would go the Conga route. Unless you want that big of a tone difference between drums. Being that the Tumbadora is deep bass. Going in between is probably the safest ways to go.
Also, you can get a sweet pair (Conga and Tumbadora) from EBay, Craigslist and FB Market Place for around your top budget ($400). Matador is a great choice for the price and quality. Their great sounding Drums. I’ve passed up on some amazing deals on drums on the sites mentioned due to finances, but you’ll be surprised what you can find for the price. Tycoon, Meinl are good choices as well.
Usually the things to look for I’d say are the following,
- If Wood or Fiberglass Drums? Are there any cracks or splits on the shells. Is the Hardware in good Shape? Are there any blemishes on the finish etc.
I currently own a pair of LP Classics Congas (Conga and Tumba). I’ve had these babies for over almost 30yrs and they sound and look as good as they did when I first bought them. I just recently changed the skins to some Dark Steer from Manito Percussion. They sound even better now!
Good luck to you with your conga endeavors. Conga playing can be very addicting Lol!
Regards, Juaort
