We brought our daughter to the local music store and bought Meinl's headliner series 6 3/4" macho 8" hembra "vintage wine barrel bongos! We're complete noobs and I'm glad we found your video! Subscribed! Wish us luck on her journey lol!
Very nice gesture by a very classy company . The build quality and finish is as good if not better than that other company . Well deserved . You are now UA-cam's percussion ambassador . Congrats !!
Another great video Eric! Man I gotta tell ya, I've always wanted congas for years and never bought a pair. Some how I came across your channel ( 2000 subs ago ). A couple weeks ago musicians friend had a great deal on meinl congas with bongos for $369. Man I jumped on it! Can't wait to start playing. Ps. Don't listen to the negative comments, your channel is your channel. Your subs like what you do.
Thanks man! And I'm so happy you got bit by the percussion bug and got your own set... I hope this journey benefits you greatly! Appreciate those kind words man!
Bro.... Great vid. Ya got some cool stuff!! Def do the bongo vids and or maybe some random solo vids . I've been playing bongs since the age of 7 and I still love to hear other people play. I believe all of us that sub to your channel agree that you are a great percussionist . Show of your stuff a little bruddah. Just for kicks. Stay blessed Eric. Much love bruddah.
Wow Bro "Navidad" came early! Really nice bongo drums, love the look of the wood. The bells look good, seem to have a good sound and the Guiro looks really good. Nice and enjoy!
Sweet brother! I have the amber flame marathon series bongos from meinl. I need to buy some new heads for them 😆 I would definitely enjoy and practice with some of your bongo videos!! Nice set up by the way! Stay blessed 👍🥁🎸🎶
wow! it's Christmas in October! those woodcraft bongos are awesome... I just came from the music store also, but didn't get anything for me, instead I got one of those yamaha Venova for my middle kid who's starting to learn winds, I'm amazed of how nice this little piece is... I'll be waiting to hear that 9" hembra, you must do some changüí con un vaso de ese tamaño 😮
I absolutely LOVE those bongo. I am dying to get a pair of those bongo. I don't know if it is the lighting but the color looks darker than on Meinl's website. Are those the Natural color or did they give you a darker tinted stain for yours??? I have some things pending, but when I'm done, I'm gonna get me a set of those. I love Meinl's cowbells. I have the Hand Cowbells - 7.85 and 8.15, and they sound great.
@@APercussionLife thanks brother, I personnaly like the e604 or e904 but a good old 57 is for shure a workhorse. You have an amazing sound by the way! Thanks for Sharing!
Eric...you had a chance to compare Meinl's Pro conga bag to LP's Ultra Tek bag? I have hard cases and a number of conga bags and am looking to upgrade to a bag with more padding. Wheels if possible, however padding and construction are more important. Am in Hawaii and shops here have very limited options to look at. Would appreciate any thoughts on bags...Mahalo!
Ahora vas a tener que estudiar los bongocero y hacer videos sobre sus interpretaciones ....¿quería hacer videos en youtube ? ahí está A GRABAR jajaja un abrazó distinguido..

7" and 9", Awesome!
@@APercussionLife how can those 3 cowbells be low pitch. Any high pitch.
HP!!!!!!! Those are the Shiiiiiznitzzzzzz....DAMNNNNNNNN
Nice absolutely wish you the best keep walking
Those are nice bongos! I am getting a free bonus gift of some meinl free ride 200 series are they good? Hope not junk!
Also, what type of mics do you prefer on your congas for a live performance?
I personally enjoy the good old Shure SM57... It's a workhorse, and went EQ'd properly, you can get some really good juice out of those mics.
