my assesment of the moperc congas hardware built better than any other custom congas is basesd on its structure and durability. while all or most custom conga makers build their hardware with steel and a coat(s) of chrome, mopercs is solid stainless steel. harder, will not pit, chip, stain or rust. ever. 3/8 lugs 3/16 side plates and crown, and wider than most. unlike most drum makers, the moperc side plates are designed to contour the body of the drum. with the smaller top and wider bottom it off sets the side plate screws vertically, no one screw is on top of each other on the same vertical line, the same cant be said for others, especially with the square and rectangular shape side plates. the hole the lug goes through is almost the same size of the lug, which keeps the lug centered, as oppossed to it being loose. the bumperc system although it may not look like much works perfectly. and oh by the way did i mention that matts, sos, islas and most custom drum makers dont even have lug protectors. plus michel gurantees the hardware for life. i will admit they are not as nice looking as ritmos, but they sure are solid.
when i was doing my due dillegence and research i subjected all makers to the same scrutiny, open minded, all the way.
when i compared everything with all the others, moperc was the overall best deal, of course that was 3 years ago.
