Re: bongobro, please help me! thx a lot!
Hey hurila, that's what I get for not checkin' in as much as I normally do!
Seriously, I like the Remos because they are light enough to play between your knees yet can be used on a stand if you prefer. And if you're starting out, the prices of the Remos are a bit lower than the comparable LP or Meinl models. In fact, just tonight I posted in another of your threads of my experiences with my LP Professional Series II bongos my Meinls.
I've been slappin' skins for nearly 25 years, and I like the sound quality and durability of both these models. They may be a little heavy for you if you're playin' them without stands, but I'd say go for a used set of either if the price is right and if the skins are in good shape...
From one skin-slapper to another, , bro'!
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
