I have really been wanting a set of(3 or 4) red Patatos for some time now and have posted numerous comments about them. Today after I got home from "deep in the heart of Texas" (11 hour drive), I set my three Meinls, quinto, conga, and tumba up with my CP conga to make a 4pc. set. I was really impressed with the sound of the Meinls, which was way better than I remembered and was ok with the CP, but it did not sound anything like the others, but I did like having a fourth drum. Now I'm really thinking about buying another Meinl Tumba and forgetting about the LPs. I know that this is no big deal, but I wish I could find a Meinl tumba with an old style badge instead of the new style. I do not need or am good enough for two drums, let alone four, but I just want another one. I only play here at home so what difference does it make. Thanks for reading and commenting. TT
