This line of congas feature a traditional look with modern innovation that only Pearl can deliver. Each 28” tall Oak conga is designed for the “seated” player, but is predrilled for stand mounts if necessary. Thicker South American-style natural skins make the drums warm-sounding, but a fiberglass gel coat on the interior seals the shell and add the projection and volume desired by today’s players. Four Polished Steel Reinforcing Bands are inset on the shell for a smooth touch, and the traditional hoops complete these stunning instruments in a Matte Crimson Sunrise finish.
