Great conga sound that’s compact and portable. Not quite as deep and resonant as a full sized conga, but a nice addition to a trap set. A little pricey for what it is compared to a full sized conga.

I bought this for practicing as I am new to this instrument, since it is much smaller than a full size conga. Here is what I can say. For the extra $35 the 11.75" version is worth it. You can tune the 11" version lower to sound the same, but for a beginner, the main advantage of this size is not in the tone, but in the larger drum area to work with for heel and tip motion practicing, as well as practicing slaps. The sound is surprisingly realistic considering there is no actual conga. The slap and open tones sound very good and it is very easy to tell if you are hitting it correctly from the sound. The bass tone is non existent on this unit because there is no chamber to resonate. All the other above sounds really come from the head, so it sounds almost identical to a full size conga. The build quality on this is very high, the entire frame is built from heavy polished aluminum, and lots of hardware holding tension. This feels solid no matter how it is mounted. I would hazard a guess to say it is built much better than the cheap $149 starter congas. I use this mostly on my lap (no stand) while sitting on the couch and it is heavy enough that it does not move around at all (this was one of my biggest worries about this). My favorite things about this are #1 It allows me to practice anywhere, #2 It does not annoy the neighbors, #3 it fits in my laptop bag, #4 it sounds great. I probably would not recommend it for live performance, but for practice it is awesome.

The product itself is a fantastic innovation that allows congueros to practice without the bulk of real congas, and even play in gigs! Yes, I've used this on a live gig and it works. Only that I wish the price could be brought down. After all, it's not made in the U.S.A and is outsourced to Thailand. Bringing the price down would allow more to buy this product, and profit can be had by volume of sales.

It's good, confortable, very nice, several musicians that I know have very good impressions, but I think the souds it's not as good as a "regular" congas; I know, It'l depend on model I compare. A warning, I'm not a professional, I'm a rockie.

Su ventaja es que ocupa el espacio mÃnimo. Sin embargo, como no tiene vaso, no se puede hacer sonido de Bass y el slap suena con menos brillo que en una conga completa, porque no hay resonancia. Algo habÃa que sacrificar a cambio del volumen y el peso de una conga completa. Nada es perfecto en el mundo. Excelente para viajar más ligero y el sonido abierto suena bonito. Considera que necesitas un atril resistente. Al principio usé un atril alto de tarola, pero le reventé la rosca a la tuerca con la que se aprietan "los brazos del atril", como es tuerca de plástico, no aguantó la presión constante.
