Product Description

The African Conga Our Goumbe drums are built from scratch in our USA workshop, using select Ghana hardwood and African cow skins. After the shells sit in our warehouse for several months to cure, we bring them into our workshop and build them into fine drums. As with our other African drums, we start by sanding and oiling the shells, shaping a perfect bearing edge, then we prepare the rings and add the cradles. Next, we select the right African cow skin and mount it on the shell using our top quality 2-part US rope. After all the assembly is complete, we tune the drum in two stages to achieve an excellent tone. This drum comes with our LIFETIME HEAD REPLACEMENT WARRANTY. (10.5" x 24" tall)

5.0 out of 5 stars great conga style drum!, August 2, 2004

This review is from: Overseas Connection goumbe drum with calf skin

This drum combines the best features of an African drum and a Conga. It's carved from a solid log by hand and mounted in a traditional rope-tuning style using a great African cow skin, but the shape of it is a lot like a conga drum--you get the best of both worlds. And it comes with a lifetime head warranty from The Overseas Connection. Great sound!
