Good and loud sound, crispy slaps and not that heavy. The Timba is 9" and 7". A conga head on the hembra and another Remo Skyndeep on the macho. The hembra has a very lound, big and profound sound but it's too heavy! I used it last Friday with Balajú playing at Puerto del Rey in Fajardo, PR and everybody loves the sound. My Gon Bops are from 1974, the Pro series, and they feel like a toy bongo: very light, smaller and excellent to play alive! Nice crispy sound with Evans heads. The one that I use for recording is the 3 A from Colombia with real thick heads! One piece drums, but the heads kill your hands and that's why I only use it in the studio. The sound is something else, BUT, for live jigs I rather use the LP or Gon Bops.
Cheers!
