Key differences that come to mind: Goat skin is used instead of Cow. Barriles are typically 24” height instead of 28-32” for a conga height. This barril has a standard tuning wrench method BUT traditionally they used either “cunyas”, where you have to hammer down wedges in the barril to bring up the pitch or “torniquetes”, which you have to hand turn to tune. These are 2 older tuning methods that some artisans still use to make barriles today.
@@RomanPercussion i knew it! The design is so clean, especially the hardware and leather pouch for tuning wrench. My second guess was Jay Bareck...how long ago did he make it? Peace.
Dope video my friend, I’m looking to buy a conga but don’t know what is the right one to start to play with bomba o rumba, can you tell me any link to buy it Thanks 🙌🏾
Any drum will work, just need to get one and start practicing. But if you’re going to be playing Bomba, get a barril. If you’re playing Rumba, get a conga. All depends what you trying to do. Each one has its purpose. Sure, you could use a conga to play bomba but it’s not the same thing. Different tonality, different feel, just not the same thing or proper use. For Barriles, there are very few options that are mass produced, most of the time, you have to purchase one from an artisan. But the mass produced ones will do the job.
Primo! Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos. I did a video of the Plena rhythm on Congas but I do plan on doing a video on Panderos in the future as well. Bendiciones!
