Re: How do you set up your congas?
I've shown the pic in several places, including the av you see above, AND in the "SHOW US YOUR BEST CONGA PICTURE" thread, but I use a flying-V formation on the congas; the conga is the point of the V, with the quinto on my left and the tumba on my left. My bongos, on stands, are between the conga and the tumba so I can switch from congas to bongos on the fly (and vice versa). And Gretschhead, if I get a requinto or supertumba, I'll try your diamond setup...make that when, man!
Like a true conguero, I play seated; the quinto and conga are on little rubber feet that lift them up about 1 1/2" (and in line with my Pancho Sanchez tumba, which I don't tilt or lift off the floor).
Works for me, bro's!
