Gon Bops

collapse expand iconDescription

Today Gon Bops is proud to offer a modern version of their classic instrument of legend. A lot of time and effort was devoted to finding a wood that was similar in both physical properties and sound to the original Gon Bops Mariano Series Congas. After intensive research and experimentation, durian wood was selected. Lighter in weight than the other woods Gon Bops uses for its drums, Durian wood is harvested from old, non-productive fruit trees that are then replanted making it a sustainable resource.

To round out the vintage sound of this series, the drums feature traditional counter hoops and authentic Latin American cowhide heads. Gon Bops makes the Mariano Series in the traditional Cuban shape. These drums feature Gon Bops compact hardware which is engineered to decrease the stress on the shell and hardware making it more durable and easier to tune.
Gon Bops Mariano Series Conga Conga, 11.5 in.

    Very good and reliable sound. Well made drum, I hope they keep producing this model. I play these drums in small and big venues, no problems at all.

    Only the conga voicing is listed for sale, but all three major sizes/voicings are pictured. My conga arrived this week and I want to buy a tumbadora next. Is it available? The price should be different (higher) if so, as the price is graduated ever so slightly between the four sizes (quinto, conga, tumbadora, super-tumbadora). You are now listing quinto and super-tumbadora as coming soon, for chrome hardware, but I want a matched set with the black hardware, and the super-tumbadora is too large for a second drum (maybe OK for a third though).,
