    Cool How many hand drums do you own?

    Inspired by the Off Topic thread about the number of drumkits we DrumChatters have (thanks Andy_TAMA!), you know what I'm asking:

    How many hand drums do you own? For our purposes, we'll count congas, bongos (one pair of bongos counts as one drum), doumbeks, djembes, bodhrans, cajons, ashikos, etc. If I've left out any other hand drums, please feel free to let me know. (Maracas, claves, guiros, cowbells, etc. aren't counted.) Add your count to the total below, as per my example...

    Okay...two sets of bongos, five congas, a djembe, a doumbek... total: 9

    (9 drums so far)

    Okay, hand-slammers...you're on!
    keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!

    Cool How many hand drums...?

    So you're not exactly a "one-drum bum" nowadays, bro'?

    We could have a pretty large circle with our drums alone!

    I have a vibra-slap, maracas, and a coupla shakers - lame huh? Oh, and a cowbell and stand mount tambourine on my set, does that count?

    I'll tell you what, though. 2 things I want to own and learn to play before I die - the Bodhran and the hammered dulcimer. Someday...
    I play Sonor Signature Series drums, Zildijian & Sabian cymbals.

    Dude, we'd be fightin' over that! We're definitely cut from the same batch of porcelain on that (ok, bad tile joke! )

    Man, I want to jump into that picture and jam with you on those congas...sweet setup, bro'!

    (okay, if I count each drum on my bongos, the total is now 43...thanks, Riff!)

    Lets see, I have 1 conga, 1 tumba, a set of bongos, a djembe, a bougarbou. Non-drum percussion includes all manner of shakres, rattles, and my favorite a jam block mounted on a bracket and played with a foot pedal.

    Cool Re: How many hand drums do you own?

    Hey, midgard, no problem at all, man...except one question?

    What's a bougarbou? (and I thought I knew all the hand drums out there!)

    Welcome, brother hand-slammer! Latest count, BTW: 49!

    The bougarbou is kind of an african conga. It has a cow skin head and a ashiko/djembe style body. Here is a links: http://www.rhythmweb.com/bougarabou/

    and a picture

    OK, I can finally add to this thread. 1 conga, 1 quinto, and a set of bongos. I believe that's 4. Then if you count the fact that the tamborine on the kick can also be played by hand (one of the girls in the youth group did that 2 weeks ago, with great rhythm), that's actually 5, although I don't think of it as a hand drum without a head on it - your call.
