Solid Drum - Solid sound

Percu Boy 19.06.2018

I use this drum for latin/funk/electronic styles. I like the classic lines, design and sound of it.
Pros;
Traditional rims make the drum less bulky. Skins are thick. It is a solid, well-made drum. It has a rubber ring on the bottom which stops it sliding around. The matte shine is nicely understated, not bling-bling at all. A well-rounded tone, no overtones.
Cons;
The drum is quite wide-bellied, making this a pretty large drum overall.

For the price you really cannot complain. This drum could be used by beginners all the way to pros. Most importantly it sounds good! Enjoy!

Nothing better for 2x as much...

I believe the Luis Conte congas are the best congas you can get for less than £300 per drum. I have owned all 3 for 5 years and they are still a delight. Look great too with the cuban styled wide belly. As long as you loosen the skins after playing they will last for many years. I give all nuts a full turn so it is easy to get back to my preferred tuning

Warum gibt's hier erst zwei Textbewertungen? Kaufen alle Fiberglas-Becher, oder kleinere Trommeln? Ober liegt es an einer Meinl-Allergie? Nun, alles was ich zu der Luis Conte Conga gesagt habe, trifft natürlich auch auf die Tumba zu. Absolutes Profi-Instrument zu einem sehr humanen Preis! Wer unbeding mehr ausgeben will, darf das natürlich gerne tun, aber man muss nicht. Mehr Qualität und mehr Klang für den Preis geht nicht! Man schaue sich nur mal die Preise für 12 1/2 Zöller an: was in aller Welt rechtfertigt Summen von 600 Euronen und mehr für eine Conga/Tumba? Mit der Luis Conte Serie hat Meinl ein paar Schätzchen auf den Markt gebracht, die preislich unschlagbar sind und von der Qualität, sowie vom Sound über jeden Zweifel erhaben!
Kaufen, Spaß haben!
Habe noch einen Satz Remo-Felle für die Trommeln geordnet, aber dazu später mehr.

Inzwischen sind die NUSKYN Felle von Remo eingetroffen. Wen's interessiert, der lese meine Rezension der Luis Conte Conga.
Beste Grüße vom Bodensee

Nachtrag:
inzwischen bietet Meinl für die Luis Conte Serie zwei (Remo) Kunststofffelle an:
Meinl 11,75" Black Skyndeep Head TTR
Meinl 11,75" Fiberskyn Head TTR
Meinl 12,5" Black Skyndeep Head TTR
Meinl 12,5" Fiberskyn Head TTR
Meinl 11" Black Skyndeep Head TTR
Meinl 11" Fiberskyn Head TTR
Die Bezeichnungen sind etwas irreführend. Mal steht im Text Nuskyn, mal Fiberskyn. Entscheidend ist aber die Endung TTR, was für Traditional Rim steht, mit welchen die Luis Conte Serie Bestückt ist.
