Conga - timbale type drums
Sun Mar 21 2010 06:12 AM (70.54.50.65)

I'm looking for small drums to attach to my percussion tree:
1. a small conga
- ideally this would still sound conga-like even when hit with sticks, and would of course have to be tunable
2. a small timbale
- pretty sure LP makes something like this

So my question is, has anyone come across anything like this.. and is it possible to get a conga sound using sticks instead of hands?

The other alternative is of course small electronic pads (I have an octapad) - but that adds a whole other level of hassle; untangling cords, sound modules, lugging an amp, or relying on the sound guy to keep your stage sound level right (if he isn't at the bar!). Then again I prefer real sound to canned samples..
