Whats Your Dream Conga - If you could only choose 1

[pcastag]

I would love to have some of the older sonocs made of caoba ( mahogany). I've got a friend who bought a quinto from a touring cuban group in canada, man it is one of the nicest sounding drums I've ever heard!

If I could take only one of the congas I own to a desert island it would have to be my LP Palladium tumba... oops, no I couldn't, I would need someone to help me carry it.

Sorry, I know I left off some makers, but the poll only allows for 10 choices.

Here is a picture of my Cuban Cahoba SONOCS,awesome sound but they tend to split. Very melodic conga but heavy. I only have 2 left.

For me my Dream drums would be made by "Pan con Queso" who I met in Venezuela..the Best made congas EVER.....but unfortunatly, they dont exist anymore since he passed all those years ago...... "JC" Johnny Conga...

They are beautiful congas, they look almost like cuban cigars! Even the name is similar to cuban cigars.

Its not listed but I would pick Isla congas,
they just look awesome, and the carved staves
seems like such a good idea!

I'll sail off with my Del Cielo's

Even though, for price reasons, I have LP Classics and LP Patato Fiberglasses...I haven't seen a set that beats a JCR Custom-made conga.

JCR congas and bongos have a sound-volume-projection that I haven't seen any other company match.

I'd ask Cali to build me a JCR conga :angry:

Let's see, I'm on a Island, I think I'll build my own! I 've got plenty of time to figure
out how. I'd probably start with bongos.

Another super nice vintage conga is the " TIMBA ISMAEL".
They are very very nice. One of the best I've seen.

I can't select from the list, because I have little experience with any brands but the LPs and Bauers. I've read people rave about half the drums on the list. My dream is to have a nice-sounding low-maintenance (i.e. no cracking) Cuban style segundo.

I like the classic shape and metal bands. I want it to stay between my legs when I play. Because my Bauers (which I usually use on a stand) are so polished and slick, they slip a lot. In fact, I would rather the drum was a little old and rough, which also means I don't care if it gets scratches and dings.

I'm sure it wouldn't sound as good as my Bauers, but the coolness factor would make up for it.

I need a Volcano Percussion button to add my vote

Mmmm….I should take a conga with me which is big enough, that’s for sure. The LP Palladium super tumba is for this purpose a good choice, I think. After I have enough of listening to myself playing, I can always flip over the big tube, climb aboard and sail back home to the mainland. :laugh:
