I have decided that I do not have conga DNA :)

Took these out of the studio yesterday and let them in the garden where my two daughters got hold of them. Wow, they are f*****g loud and powerful things; I guess given the history of similar drums, that shouldn't be surprising, but I was still really surprised by just how much viscera-modifying bass comes out of these things even twenty or thirty feet away. Odd that the classic recorded conga - thinking lots of 70's funk tracks, and recalling seeing Curtis Mayfield on TV in the 70's - is nothing like this, much more the percussive slap of the hand on the skin as opposed to what comes out of the other end. Probably explains why they're so bloody difficult to record in a small room also :)

In my experience, daughters are often f***ing loud ...

Daughters and congas is perhaps a combination to be avoided :)

We were given a free set of bongos by a neighbour. We have them to my 2 year old and life (and my ears) haven’t been the same since.
