This new 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 pre-drilled for stands mounts if necessary. Thicker South American style natural skins makes the drums warm sounding, but a fiberglass gel coat on the interior seals the shell and adds 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.
