    Nice classic sound and very responsive skins. These are excellent quality. To me, Gon Bops bongos beat out the competitors on sound and quality for entry/ performance level.

  • Nice looking bongos

    I wanted a set of bongos for my 1 year old grandaughter for Christmas to play with as a toy. But I also wanted a set that she could use if she gets serious about percussion in the future. Gon Bops and LP were both in my price range; my drummer friend recommended Gon Bops. Nice looking set.

  • Excellent Bongo Drums!

    Purchased these drums for use in a concert band and am very pleased with the beautiful tone and echo, whether I am playing with hands or sticks. These are great looking drums that fit beautifully on the stand and produce a high quality sound with beautiful melody. I am delighted with them and was Haiti get them on sale, as well. Highly recommend this bingo drum!
