Congas

Experience the deep bass pulse and resonant Latin rhythms of Congas. These tall, narrow, single-headed drums are the heartbeat of Afro-Cuban, Salsa, and Latin Jazz, offering a versatile range of sounds including rich bass tones, rounded open notes, and sharp, cutting slaps essential for energetic and expressive dance rhythms.

This category features a wide selection of congas, typically sold individually or in sets of two or three. Options include wood congas (Siam Oak, Mahogany, Ash) for traditional warmth and fiberglass congas for extreme durability and projection. They are available in various head sizes, such as the Quinto (high-pitch), Conga/Segunda (mid-range), and Tumba/Tumbao (bass), suitable for Latin ensembles, jazz performances, studio sessions, and world music.

Congas are foundational to Salsa, Rumba, Afro-Cuban, Funk, Pop, and world music. Their wide tonal range and ability to produce loud, clear sounds allow players to drive an entire performance with complex, multi-layered rhythmic patterns. Modern congas are engineered for professional sound quality and stage durability. Key features include expertly shaped shells for optimum resonance, natural rawhide or synthetic heads (for weather consistency), comfort rims (EZ Curve or Rounded) to protect the player's hands, and heavy-duty cast steel tuning hardware for stable and precise tuning.
Congas are commonly played while standing with the aid of height-adjustable, double-braced conga stands, or seated depending on the performance style. 

They coordinate perfectly with bongos, cowbells, shakers, and cajons to create a complete Latin percussion section.
From durable beginner sets for percussion classes to concert-grade instruments with stunning lacquer finishes and premium hardware, congas provide the depth, power, and authenticity that percussionists rely on for truly impactful rhythms.
