This drum (can it really be called a conga at this size? let’s just stick to drum…)

is a real instrument. The construction of the shell and the quality of the head,

hoop and tensioners all indicate that this is not a toy — it’s meant to be played.

But you should know that this a very small drum — the head diameter is about

3 1/2″. So it can’t really be played like a conga, especially in terms of getting

any kind of a bass note with the palm of your hand (the palm of your hand

practically covers the entire head). But for what it is, it sounds great. As a finger

drum, it sounds more like something from South Asia than from South or Central

America. Very nice ring tone. I like this drum a lot, but mostly just to fool around

with. I can’t imagine it being very useful as an accompaniment to anything other

than maybe a single acoustic guitar, and I can’t really imagine it being part of a

larger percussion ensemble. But as a “apartment drum”, it’s great!

hard to get an audible noise out of this little rig without hurting the fingers, but its fun for the kids and wont hurt your ears.

It’s really small but made same as great quality of master size.
Sound is really clear and good also if you tune up abit even sound much better.
