I never realized how many tasks were needed to hnd make a conga drum. I enjoyed watching the process. I am the owner of two hand made drums by Jay Bereck of Skin on Skin, formerly in Brooklyn. I bought these drums in 2001. They have been a joy to play these last twenty two years. He signed his name in English, and then he also signe his Hebrew name.
I was blessed to order and have ownership of these beauties....the sound is awesome and I can't wait to play them on stage. Kevin Brown of Rhythym House Drums is one of the true craftsmen practicing the drum making craft....especially on the East Coast....I'm blessed.....
Really cool looking drums. I'm a professional furniture maker and semi pro percussionist.....always wanted to make some congas. Love the unique design and approach, great use of small pieces of timber. Inspired me!!
I would love to be the proud owner of a set of these drums. They look amazing amazing. However after seeing the quality of the craftsmanship that goes into making them, I'm sure they are beyond my means. I just took it for granted that everything was made in a huge factory.
New sub here! Quite a different approach to building congas and they sound sweet! After visiting your site, I gotta say these are some bad azz mamma jamma's!!!!
Very impressive and precise work and craftsmanship. Most congas are built using the cooperage technique with steam-bent wood staves or sections. Now there are craftsmen cutting the curve into each stave to avoid having to steam-bend which probably makes the drum stronger. Your approach is something totally new to constructing congas. What made you decide on this technique? Thank you for posting!
Boa tarde! Gostei muito do jeito que foi construído o instrumento,eu achei mais bonito e funcional, embora seja muito trabalhosos, mais ficou muito bom. EXCELENTE!!!!!!!!

Good morning, thank you for sharing the process, congratulations on your work. Could you share with us the grades used to cut?
Very cool and unique
Thanks Michael!
Nice natural shape of the wood, not steam bent. And, Check out Moperc drums, less pieces less glue.
