Re: Minimum equipment a.k.a. Most versatile
Welcome aboard, SnareTan!
Good start ya got there--but I would add a pair of bongos and another conga to play off. They don't take up much more space than what you got, and you can get a few more sounds out of them. And, if you're into adding an African or world-beat sound on some of your tunes, you might consider a djembe (either in addition to or in place of the bongos or the second conga)...
Are you adding this to your existing drum kit or are you getting started as a hand drummer? Either way, that pretty well covers the basics.
Good luck, bro'!
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
