I purchased conga and tumba a bit in darkness, not seeing instruments earlier and not hearing live. So far I used Marathon Classic instruments of the Meinl company. After a dozen or so hours of playing, where skins aren't still played, I will admit frankly that instruments sound warmly and of course, Getting the bass, slap and ton doesn't constitute the tone of effort. I am very pleased with the instrument. Using of the stand or authentic imprints the LP for getting is absolutely performing sounds.
