"OK let's establish from the start that yes, these are cheap, but do not fall into the trap of dismissing them for that reason. Actually, for the money, these are in fact very worthy instruments."
"I found I could elicit all the necessary tones from muffled tone to slap, and the resultant sounds were very acceptable."
"...they are perfectly usable instruments, and absolutely fantastic value for money."
"Solid drum shells, classy finish, and excellent value for money."
Lee Gillett, Drummer magazine June 2006
Popular history in Cuba claims that the name “conga” first came to light during the processions cabildos held dancing and chanting on the streets during orishas celebrations. The popular commentaries referred to them as the congos, and from there the name conga.
