Hi Cuco,
I understand. I have the Gon Bops Walnut model that has a 9" hembra and 7" macho. I think the macho is smaller and the hembra bigger than the LPs. To be honest: Back then I just wanted to have something different from LP; Gon Bops were available, and I liked their product (-image). Also, I had seen Rumbavana's Tino Alonso playing similar sizes, and I liked his playing, I was into the Cuban way (as opposed to Salsa), and I also felt that the sharper contrast between the drums corresponded more to my sound idea. I'm still happy with them.
