Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2007 8:38 pmSo I came across a trade this weekend that I just couldn't pass up. I traded my 3 LP classics for a vintage Gretsch USA drumset. So now I am unfortunately without a conga for a little bit 
. After much debate and extensive thought over the offer, I decided that the value of the Gretsch kit was just far greater than that of the LPs, my percussion teacher agreed and told me to jump on it immediately. Nonetheless I am extremely happy with my new drumset, but am already missing my babbies :'(. I plan to replace the LPs with a 2 set of vintage congas, probably Gon Bops, to match my vintage drumset. Already have my eye on a nice 11" single for $150 that I will hopefully pick up on wed.
Just thought I'd share. If anyone sees a nice deal on a set of congas, or singles please let me know. Also if anyone has some extras laying aroung and is interested in a trade I have a nice custom built auxhilliary 16" kick drum, perfect for a conga/percussion setup. PM me for more info and pics.
