I know you are right, but it feels good to have some small accomplishment! I've been straining for 2 weeks to get these things tuned so that they sound good.. Remo heads, stock heads, back to Remos, back to stock... now back to Remos. I got ONE thing working right now for me. Slaps on two drums!! Thing is, I had no idea if I was even close to getting it right and now I found the sweat spot to hit and the way to hit it. I told JC yesterday that if I knew more about this I would write a paper on the proper way to tune congas and publish it on the forums. You guys have been doing it a long time and know what to do. Couple my newness to congas and my seniority in life and it's like an up hill battle. I'm back to the ole G, C, E, and they sound ok. I'm working it this way for a while!!!
