DRUMMER CAFE

These look like a very nice set of congas and Djembe.  Real cheap price makes me wonder, any info?

It's Siam Oak, not sure if that means anything good or bad.
(the blue fade matches my set though.. )

In the meantime, I found this on Harmony Central:

I have had a set of three for over three years now.  Bongos too.  They sound better with age.  The only thing I don't like is the 10 inch is a little small (not a huge deal though)..there are no tone issues.  All tones are available with proper technique.  The finish is perfect and the hardware is plenty heavy.  These drums are probably the best kept secret in the conga world.  The quality is very high, even at a higher price.  I was going to put muleskins on, but I really don't see the point.  They sound great as is.  I also have three sonor champion congas..another well kept secret.  They sound a little more full due to the full size drums they are...and the heads are thicker.  I have gigged with both and recorded with both...like I said, you can make all the required tones with proper technique.  I have played giovanni galaxies, and LP classics...I do know what a good conga sounds like.  Technique is far more important than price.

God bless!
