I think that a well balanced rhythm section sound when all are playing in unison (together) and one not standing out from the others. I consider it to be making noise and not music would even call it showboating. Give your opinion

esi Arnez used a conga with a strap around drum to hold it on his shoulder if we were to categorize it would be a re quinto. But for business terms the named it the Ricardo for Ricky Ricardo of the Lucy show. http://youtu.be/rAV3bOJaQuY This I think was a disgrace to the drum it's just noise he his making , but it brought him a lot of money.

A conical shaped, wooden shell hand drum played in carnival music (Conga) from Santiago (eastern province of Cuba)

So there is a positive effect of showboating after all

What he did was copy a well know singer and drummer Named Miguelito Valdez style and worst of all got the credit for it . Miguelito died miserable, poor and got no credit for this tune Babalu yet Dezi gained all the fame for this tune.
