I would suggest looking for a local drum circle to get your feet wet. Look
for any drum clinics being held and get some real time lessons. Ask around
your GC drum section and check for any fliers...

The other links I have posted in this thread are no longer working. I took
those videos down. Here is a working link of our band doing "Reggae Style"
at our studio. We just wanted to get something...

Sup BB. Dont matter what you start up, or how you do it bro. The circle
will grow. The drum circle is where I got hooked man. Somethin got into
my soul and never let go some 20 years ago....

I only tune my congas down when its really humid/hot. In fact I have been intentionally stretching them further to lower the ring to a more comfortable
position. I play current issue LP performers...

songs and a bunch of new pics. Take a look. I play congas...

Drummer i was totally oblivious to DrumBum before you commented
to this thread. I did come up with the idea myself, also totally
oblivious to the fact they are already available. I apologize for...

Thats for sure, Just like every good idea someone else has already thought

I didn't want to start a new thread for my question, i will apologize for
butting in here but it does seem to fit. What is the best set up for
mic'ing congas and other hand drums for a live show?

Hey funky, we were using a 5x8 for a while and it was a bit like playing
Tetris loading that thing. We sold it for $600 and bought a 6'x6'x12' and
have room to spare. I think it was $1,200 used...
