I've read mention of kpanlogos a couple of times in these forums, but haven't seen a thread devoted to them.
I'm considering buying a kpanlogo, and probably two. I'll take a trip in the next two weeks to two distant music stores to check out what they've got. I'm pretty well versed in many world drums, from Asia to South America, but have little experience with kpanlogos.
Do any of you have much experience with them? Do you have any advice? I'm looking for something somewhat conga-like: warm, woody, but with some quinto-like brightness when tuned up. I've considered various ashikos, bougarabous, etc., but I want to be able to play more than one (i.e. play them on the ground). From what I've seen and heard, kpanlogos seem to fit my needs.
They are available with antelope, cow, and goat hide heads. Any preference? I'm considering cow. I know little about antelope, other than a few descriptions.
Thanks for any advice or info you can give.
