I use this as part of my regular conga setup for live and recording. All the Meinl Professional wooden drums have a great earthy, woody tone, good for traditional and folkloric styles but able to cut it in other styles too - jazz, funk, reggae, pop etc.
Great tones, very comfortable to play, rapidly becoming my go to drum.
The finish on this drum is beautiful and the hardware is very high quality. Even the factory heads are pretty good!
This is as good as a factory made conga gets in my opinion.
Overall:
Great sound, great quality, highly recommended.
