Anyone done this?
I mentioned in another thread earlier that I only play a three piece - I genuinely love playing a tiny kit, seeing what I can squeeze out of it, but I'd like to throw in something else to funk it up even more.
Now I know bongos can work on a kit, I've seen it done, but I was wondering what would be the best placement for a single conga. I was thinking on my far left, next to the hi-hat.
Bongos would go above the bass drum where the rack toms would normally be (although I doubt I'd be rolling down them onto the floor tom, wouldn't work), but what's the best way to fix them to the kit?
I think I'm leaning more towards the conga because unless I'm playing open handed (which I can do to a limited extent) I'd have to reach right underneath my right hand to hit the off-beats on the bongos if I wanted to keep ticking on the hi-hat.
Cheers.
