I have almost exactly the same situation as you. 3 congas, bongos, djembe, toy table, tamb, shakers, chimes etc.. I mic each conga like you (Audix i5's). Becase the drums are behind me and we have...

I play it at church and it's sound really cool. I usually roll it somehwta like where a HH slur would go. I can get an nice roll for about a second. Kalani has a nice vid on it, but you just have...

Thanks, Guys. Well since I use it live at church.. usually Wednesday evenings with a guitar player, I set it up for that. I taped a mic (SM 57), inside, I bought a snare (for a snare drum) and put...

Never turn down the opportunity .. just play within your ability, or less if you are nervous.

Check it out .. quick and dirty video, but gives you an idea of the sound.. I did a few mods, though.

YouTube- Cajon - My New Fat Congas Cajon

I just played the Fat Congas Cajon with Nylon brushes ...Wow.. does it sound SWEET!!

Can't wait till I play them at Church next Wednesday. Got a lot of good coments about the Cajon I played last...

I bought the Meinl Burl String Cagon and the Fat Congas Sring Cajon and compared them side by side at home and at church(with Mic and withiout).

To me (and my band mates and sound guy).... The Fat...

I just bought a Meinl Burl String cajon and have ordered a Fat Congas String Cajon to compare them. I'm not real impressed with the Meinl, so I hope the Fat Conas will be better .. we will see.

Ok.. I'll work on somehting .. it would be good for me to hear back on a recording as well.

Well, I 'm still trying different things out on Wednesday nights when I play at church. Very mellow music and the guitar player really likes the bass beat and back beat.. so Congas aren't always the...

I have the FiberSkyns and really like them. Hear is a video.. these sound just like mine.. I really like the feel as well and they are very, very tough. The more you use them, the better they...

I have the same challenge ; especially because sometimes I play with and without a drummer.

In general, I am finding the Tumbao to be rally good with variations. So for instance on one measure...

Maybe I should try the 4 beer warm up at Church tonight ???

uuhhmm.. well.. maybe not :)

I have a Tumba Conga and Quinto. I was thinking of using the conga tuned as the quinto and the quinto tuned down to the conga. The reason is just to give me more room with my hands on the skin.

The gain is up pretty high on the mic, and that is picking up the "attack"sound too much. I will try turning it down and maybe moving the mic farther away. Also .. hitting with just he fat part of...

Gretsch - yes, I have them on stands.. the mic underneath is a good idea. Basically I am trying to get almost a cajon bass sound .. only for certain songs though... I could use the cajon, just don't...

Ok.. I don't wan to sound like some of the crazies on Expert Village on You Tube, but..

Last night I was playing congas with just a guitarist and he wanted a lot of deep bass. When I strike the...

Cool. Thanks for the review

After playing with a few different guitarists, I found the easier ones to play with were the ones who (on rythm guitar) emphasised the down "beat" and back "beat" ... so when I hear them play on...

Thanks!!

Anyone know how much the a no-name band earns per night at one of the good hotels in Vegas?

That's a good idea ..go inexpensice.. them maybe you could modify it to make it sound better.... thats what I am going to do Please let us know how it works out for you.

I hear you.. me too. The Meinl Bass pedal cajon is the other one I was looking at. The Bass sounds really good. Not sure about the "snare" though. No cajon sounds good to me unless its micd'...

I heard Fat Congas cajon ..live at Downtown Disney last night. The best I have ever heard. I asked him about it and he said it was one of their first ones out, but they are basically still the same....
