Latin Percussion LP637 Rubber Conga Feet,Black

I originally wrote this right after purchase. See end of my review.Que bueno, al fin! Man I’ve been thinking about something like these Conga Feet for a long time! When I gig I’m always super space limited and always have to play with my three tumbas sitting directly on the floor in order to keep them close together (not enough space for traditional stands). Automatically it sends my tuning way up and deadens the resonant / rich sound of the shells. I got these in, flipped my tumbas over and easily slipped them over the base ring as per instructions, grouped them back into my array and was loving the sound in no time! Excellent product, simple solution. Gotta love it. I’ll probably never use my many conga stands, rings again. They just take up too much space and spread the tumbas apart.For full disclosure: My tumbas do wobble a tiny bit and my shells are traditional wood. The little wobble there is does not affect my playing style.***4 years later*** with a slight mod ( see pics) for enhanced stability and still going strong after many live gigs in different venues in public. These conga/tumba feet are battle tested.

So I was looking for a simple solution to get my Luis conte series congas off the ground without spending an arm and a leg on a metal stand. I also did not want to drill into my congas to mount them.After reading some of the reviews on this product I was somewhat hesitant because people were having trouble setting them up. Anyway, $16.00 a set from a "semi-local" music store that I've been buying from since I was a kid...so I bought 2 sets.Got them 3 days later unwrapped them went to my congas thought and stared for a second, LOOKED AT THE PICTURE ON THE PAPER THAT COMES WITH IT, flipped my congas onto the heads, placed the rubber feet accordingly, played for 30min no problems at all. They work great, the tones coming out of the congas are completly full and all accents can be heard.Definitely buy them if you're a sitting down player better than playing on your basic conga stand, cascio interstate is also a great business with great prices.

These are great for lifting your hand drums, congas and djembes off the floor for sound….but they are so soft and they cause the drums to shift. They need a better way to attach, a way of adjusting to the size of the bottoms to prevent the move,ent. I am using fun tak to keep them holding on tighter….

Definitely worth the money

Does what it’s supposed to do Good stuff.

I am really surprised because I thought they were less heavy, like normal rubber is or foamy, but I found that are so strong and heavy!! When you take them in your hand, then you realize the good quality and stiffness of the rubber!! Once you put them in place, you can play very comfortable and steady! Even if you hit the congas accidentally, they remain steady!The material effectively absorbs the preassure (extremely low frequencies) and allows the drumhead to vibrate freely at the selected armonic!Oct 23/2013Well, not forever!!I play my congas with the quinto grabbed with my legs and slightly forward tilted, the conga at my left side and the tumba at my right! I play all sort of movements, muffles, slaps, basses, grabs, elbows etc, and depending on what I'm playing, I can hit with different pressures! Well, one foot of the quinto couldn't withstand the pressure while tilted and got broken. I put it some strong glue and then it came back to the party! It doesn't mean that now I feel regretted, this is just a tip for those that haven't experienced this yet! Still a very good product!

The concept is a good one but since they are raw rubber they smell and they put marks on the end of my drum. I would suggest they use another material for the product...

I'm not sure what acoustical benefit these are supposed to give, but I know it isn't worth the hassle of keeping these in position on the conga. They slide around, making the instrument unstable, and fall off easily if conga is lifted off floor. The retainer cord is a good idea and genuinely helpful, but so is a cast for a broken bone. I think I'd rather not break any bones in the first place. And I'd rather have a legit, rigid stand for my conga than this clever but imperfect workaround.

Levanta las congas tres centímetros y se queda enganchado por si las mueves. Fantástico

Excelente!!

Solid product. Easy to install. Makes the conga bass tones rounder!

Used on a Meinl Marathon and fits perfectly. Strong, sturdy and steady. As, someone else has accurately pointed out, do not purchase these for fibreglass congas. I also have LP Patato congas and they simply fall off these risers. Shame - they really need to address this obvious need.

まず、装着が大変です。そして、安定しません。そしてすぐに二つに割れてしまいました。高価なのに、とても残念です。
