I used to have Supercussion bongó and also a Matador,
but sold them both.

Now I own "just" 3, but they are more than enough for my lifetime::

LP mahogany
LP zebra wood
Raúl

Love them!

1st ever bongo and the drum that got it all started for me over 20 years ago: Mexican type bongo, tacked heads, tuned by fire/heat. (still own it, will never sell it!)

2nd bongo: LP Fiberglass black bongo - sold

3rd bongo: Matador old school trad hardware wood bongo with upgraded heads. - long since sold

Including my first bongo, and the 3 below, I own 4 at the moment.

LP Generation III - current battle weapon for my bongo gigs

For keeping and collecting: Original 1970's vintage 5 key Gon Bops bongo & LP 45th Anniversary bongo.
