Very lite weight, great sounding and very comfortable to play, especially for me that I'm 6'1". The red are my favorite but I got a nice deal on these blue which are a rare color.
These are no doubt keepers for me.

The Fiberskin heads are awesome! I love them. I get very little overtones from the Conga, not nearly enough to make me get rid of it, and none from the Tumba. In my opinion, the benefit of the sound far out weighs the little overtones from the Conga. I get lots of compliments on the sound and they are nice and loud which makes them perfect for an outdoors event. I have owned REMO synthetic heads for years and have always been happy with them.
Here are my REMO Congas & bongos with Synthetics.

Look a little closer, all four of those drums have the comfort curve 2 crowns. LP original series are the first model of congas that LP started making around 1968 or 1969, the PATATO series came out in 1978. The blue ones that I own are early to mid 80's, I love them!!! keepers for sure!
REMOS are in fact heavy as tanks, especially the ones made after 2006 which is when they changed the shell design, but they do sound sweet.
