LP L201A-JR Rodriguez Bongo Set

Great sounding authentic traditional bongos, perfect for latin music.

Pros: sound amazing. The macho (small drum) is very snappy and cuts beautifully while the extra large hembra (large drum) has lovely depth.
Very solid build quality and I love the look of them.

Cons: No comfort rim (but not a problem when playing) and with the bigger hembra they're a little heavier.

Very pleased with these - the sound is weighty, rounded and snappy, with great projection. They'd be a fine addition to any band playing cuban music but would also work well in son groups where the bongos are the only drum. The macho really sings and getting super slaps out of it is ridiculously easy. The price is good compared to the other top tier lp bongos - these are the only bongos I'll ever need !
