The Latin Percussion Giovanni Series Compact Conga is perfect when space is an issue.
As the laptop is to the desktop, the Giovanni Series Compact Conga is to Giovanni Hidalgo¹s signature full-size drum. The slender counterpart sits comfortably atop a standard snare drum stand, offering a new definition of conga portability. In addition, it will fit where others dare not go: small apartments, practice cubicles, or even the space between the hi-hat and the crash cymbal in a drumset. The sound is surprisingly full and delivers traditional slaps, muted sounds, and bass. Equally important, the Giovanni Compact Conga features a rugged aluminum alloy rim that is easy on the hands.
With its 11 in. head, the Giovanni Compact Conga is the perfect solution to space and volume problems and can be muted for quiet practice. When a regular conga - begging the question - is too large, yet you need authentic conga sound and feel, this is your instrument.
