    I think I may have answered my own question...... I believe it is a bracket that attached to the lugs on the drum.

    Anything else?

    I can't find that same video, but this one shows something attached to the bongos. It's hard to see, just figured it must have been attached to the lugs.

    Could be an LP arm bracket.

    I have several that serve different purposes. Mostly I use them for rim mounted mic holders.

    Some times a bongocero will add a wood block, bell or microphone via of a clamping hardware to the bongos, but it is an awkward set up that is off balance & very hard to hold between the legs for long durations. I prefer my tripod set up ( home made ) that braces the bongos in normal seated position & mounting hard wares for mics & any other percussion can be mounted w/ attachments to the stand using a variety of hard wares. I try not to attach these kinds of attachments to my bongo hard wares which can damage the drums. Another option : use a separate perc. rack that you can play easily, set up close to the bongos, but not attached to them. Traditional bongoceros would simply lay a bell on a case or a pedestal of some type, next to the bongos ( unmounted ) and grab the bell to play by hand w/ a stick, on sections of music appropriate for hand bell.
