  • Meinl Woodcraft Congas

    American white oak shells

    Hand percussion

    Woodcraft congas use American white oak staves and Meinl's tuning hardware, and sit at the professional end of a catalogue that runs a very long way down in price.

  • LP Classic Conga

    The Siam oak conga that set the standard

    Hand percussion

    The Classic is the conga most people picture: Siam oak staves, LP's Comfort Curve rim, and hardware that survives being tuned hard and often. It is the drum against which other production congas are described.

  • Tycoon Master Handcrafted Congas

    The top of the Thai catalogue

    Hand percussion

    Master Handcrafted congas are Tycoon's professional drums, with thicker Siam oak staves and hand-selected heads, at prices well below the American brands.

  • LP Classic Bongos

    Oak-shelled bongos with a traditional profile

    Hand percussion

    LP's Classic bongos pair Siam oak shells with rawhide heads and traditional bell-shaped hardware; they are the drums almost every recorded bongo part since the 1970s was played on.

  • Toca Elite Pro Congas

    Toca's professional wooden drums

    Hand percussion

    Elite Pro is the top of Toca's range: stave-built wooden shells, heavy hardware, and hand-selected hide heads.

  • Cooperman Rope Tension Field Drum

    Historically accurate military drums

    Hand percussion

    Cooperman builds rope-tension field drums to period specification for reenactment, early music, and fife and drum corps — the drum as it was before metal tension rods.

  • Gope Atabaque

    The tall hand drum of candomblé and capoeira

    Hand percussion · Brazil

    The atabaque is a tall, rope- or key-tuned hand drum used in Afro-Brazilian religious music and in capoeira rodas, built by Gope in the three traditional sizes.
