Francis is a wonderful fellow. When I bought my Moperc Cubanos we talked on the phone a few times. He was easy to talk with and came through with exactly what I wanted. The ash Cubanos sound awesome. Thank you, Francis.
Brazilian Mahogany grain is absolutely gorgeous. Naturally colored light, medium or dark, it doesn't matter, they're all so very beautiful. The medium colored set featured in this episode are beautiful and beautifully crafted. Imagine that set with all Black Nickel plated hardware with LP Comfort Curve Hoops. That's what I'm ordering.
One of the characteristics that makes South American mahogany sound (resonate) like it does is the rode grain structure - you can see this rode grain in the video closeups. Rode grain is the pattern of alternating grain direction. As a guitar maker, this characteristic can make it hard to plane mahogany smooth i .e. grain tear-out is a constant problem. “Pero, vale la pena” as they say in Cuba (worth the pain), as mahogany’s resonant qualities outclass 95% of all timber species! I can also comment from experience on how these drums sound, as I now own drums #68, 69 and #70 of the Moperc Poncho Sanchez series. Balanced and powerful are the words that come to mind in describing their sound. Forever drums, to be sure.
Saludos Eric. Graciad por el video explicativo, Excelente. Una pregunta: ¿ En Moperc, Francis o algún otro contesta el telefono en español? ; quiero llamar para tener màs infornación. Exito Eric 😎👍🏻🇵🇷
My question to you Guys and even Poncho might way in on what are the pros and or cons to having two congas and tumba as opposed to having the traditional Q,C,T. I am in the process of possibly purchasing a Fourth Moperc drum to compliment my Brazilian Mahogany Custom Cubano Q,C,T. and thinking about a super tumba. However, now looking at Poncho’s signature series in which he uses two congas and tumba and l rarely play four drums at one time just due to the logistics, wonder if the second Moperc Conga is the way to go. The type of music or application the set up of two congas and a tumba would be in is, a contemporary christen music environment with a Caribbean Feel. The idea of using to two congas and tumba does appeal to me just for flexibility in range in tuning them as opposed to tuning a conga, tumba and a super-tumba which would cater more to the lower tuning scale. So Guys what ever input you can give me would be greatly appreciated as l feel you three Gentlemen have the experience and expertise to steer me in the right direction. YBIC.
Hey Dennis! It really depends on everyone's tastes. Poncho likes that set up, other ones prefer an 11 quinto as a main drum. Adding a 13'' tumba will definitely give you a wider range in tone. Talk soon!
Great question, I just recently back-lined Poncho with my personal congas. He wanted C,C,T . They sounded great and powerful. My opinion is its about tone and volume also, he's hands are like bear claws and so I wonder if he prefers the congas as his lead. One thing as well, is his tuning.. you can research that one line :) If I was to purchase new Moperc's today, I would get C,C,T
Many of our customers buy their drums one by one and pay slowly but surely.Some of the took more than a year to build their dream set and now they're all set for the rest of their life. No need to be rich to get quality drums.
@@franafrokan agree....but for the price of two of Morpec congas you can still built a great high quality set and still have some room to purchase some accessories to go with the set and still have money leftover for gas to get to ur gigs......

Simple, because Poncho is my favorite Conga Player in the galaxy!!!
