Interesting topic. I am not an expert, but I have a Dandy bongo, and it sounds great. It need some more fine-tuning, and I am still experimenting to get the best sound from it. Now the drum was made to Dandys specifications, and one should think he knows what he is doing. I think the shape of the bearing edges makes the Dandy very sensitive to how you hit the ones and threes of the Martillo. I use the classic one finger playing, and the smallest variation makes a lot of difference. Should be interesting to hear what people who knows more about these things than me have to say about it.
