Congas

The conga drum is a musical instrument from the percussion family. It is a single head drum that originated in Africa but became famous after they were included in Cuban music. In the 1930s the conga drum gained much attention when Latin music became popular across the USA. A conga drum is tall and narrow, played with the fingers and palms, often in pairs, but sometimes in other combinations, or just singly. They are available in a range of sizes – the smallest can be just 9 inches across and are worn from a shoulder strap, while the largest "supertumbas" are up to 14 inches across. The size of drum obviously affects the sound and pitch of the instrument, with the largest drums being used to play the lower rhythms, and the smaller acting as the "singer" of the band, playing the melody. In addition, the pitch of the drum will vary according to the model and manufacturer. Conga drums are traditionally made from wood, but nowadays, fiberglass models are also popular among buyers due to their durability – not to mention that they are relatively inexpensive. The other factor to take into account when considering your preferred type of conga drum material are the drumheads themselves. In years past, hide drumskins were normally made from cowhides, which provide a warm and melodic tone. The modern equivalent is typically made from water buffalo, which makes for a thinner, crisper sound.
