Pearl Travel Conga Drum Set Review

Travel Conga Drum Set was launched by the Pearl Corporation Ltd. , a highly reputed organization for the wholesale distribution of percussion musical instruments, drums and flutes. This conga is a miniature version of Pearl’s standard sized congas and can be easily carried everywhere!

Basic construction, attractive features, how does it fare, value for money.

The basic dimension of the Conga is as follows:

• Length – 30 inches
• Breadth – 30 inches
• Height – 6 inches
• Weight – 499 grams

It is available in two other sizes as well for your convenience, as – 11.75 inches and 12.5 inches, each with a 3.5 inches deep drum.

The striking features of  Pearl Travel Conga Drum Set are:

• This product has the ability to deliver the original Conga sound from the compact deep drum of 3.5 inches, that can even be carried in a backpack.
• The synthetic head made up of Remo Fiberskyn3 yields excellent tone.
• For providing accurate and easy tuning, the five precision Allen bolts are present which via foam – handle Allen wrench, already included with the package.
• It can be used whenever you want – your lap, on a snare stand or can even be integrated into your percussion or drum set up.
• The travel conga bag is also available for all three sizes so as to carry them with you even while travelling, that too conveniently without any harm or damage to your conga.
• One of the most interesting feature is that the conga stands and bridge can allow the use of multiple conga sets altogether, for a complete full-sized set up.
• The shell is made up of the strong and sturdy Thai Oak, thus, making it durable.
• The rim of the conga is a polished steel and the complete finishing is a real fine touch, adding to its adorable innovative design.

This product has won hearts all over by being the top rated and reviewed musical product from the users. The critical acclaim has rendered others in its class speechless. This musically sounding product with the innovative design and durability is a must to look out for. Moreover, the trusted brand it belongs to, adds more and more to its likeability.

It can be shipped anywhere and is also eligible for international shipping. It is a really good deal especially with the amazing combination of price and features it has.

I bought the Pearl Travel Bongos and 11-3/4" Travel Conga and the build-quality exceeded my expectations. They sound fantastic, easy to fine-tune to your taste, and they're heavier than they look. They look fabulous. Very happy with this purchase.

Great sound, perfect portability.

This drum sounds great and in my opinion is very underrated. I have the 11in quinto and it feels great. I was initially worried that the tuning bolts would get in the way, but they are placed in the perfect zones to not be an issue. Although it is only 1/4 the size of a real quinto, the bass is surprisingly present, especially on the new travel conga stand, but not limited to it either. It sounds great in a snare basket or on your lap too! All in all, I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a great drum with big sound, but also a professional quality drum that you can put in your backpack and take anywhere. I'm definitely going to get every model they offer of these congas.

Pearl Travel Congas Superior in Sound.

I own both Pearl Travel Congas and LP Compact Congas. I find that the Pearl Travel Congas provide the best sound hands down. The sound is warm, great Tone, Slaps and Bass. LP has a great innovative idea for sleek, thin and cosmetically beautiful but the head they sell with it, has a horrible ringing, tinging sound. The slaps and tones are ok but bass completely absent. To get a great sound for the LP you would have to replace the head completely.

For me this travel conga is better sounding and more comfortable than an LP compact conga. Theis drum can be placed on your lap , unlike the lp. Also the small shell that it does have gives it much more sound than the lp. Fits in a backpack. Have used it for dance classes and trio gigs.

Not as versatile as the LP compact conga

I bought the large size Pearl travel conga hoping that it would complement the LP compact congas, of which there are currently only two sizes. Unfortunately the Pearl travel conga is really just a practice tool: it does not have a sound which is pleasing or usable in its own right. The LP compact congas, which have a ringing, pitchy, frame drum like sound are versatile (as practice tools, but also in multi-percussion setups, or in a drum set) in a way that the Pearl travel conga is not.

Oddly awesome

Of course real congas are better, but these things are actually surprisingly awesome.

Pearl Travel Congas

Pearl Travel Congas deliver real conga sound from a compact 3-½” depth drum that can be carried literally in a backpack! The wood shell and stave construction is identical to their full-size congas and the Remo FiberSkyn 3 synthetic head yields outstanding tone while resisting fluctuations from changes in temperature or humidity. Five precision Allen bolts provide accurate and easy tuning via the included foam-handle Allen wrench. The Pearl Travel Conga can be played on your lap or mounted on the Pearl Travel Conga Stand with the Pearl Travel Conga Stand Bridge if needed. It can also be mounted on a snare stand and integrated into your drum set or percussion set-up. Snare stands are available for both seated or standing position.

The PEARL Travel Congas are available in three sizes : the large 12-1/2″ size, the medium-sized 11-3/4” size and the smaller 11″ model. These three sizes are equivalent to the standard tumba, conga and quinto sizes of full-size conga drums. The drums are Caramel Brown finish. Free shipping continental US.

• Wood Thai Oak Construction.
• Durable, natural-sounding and weather-impervious Remo Symmetry Head.
• Foam Handle Tuning Wrench Included.
• Three sizes replicate a full-size set of conga drums.
• Mounts easily on normal snare drum stands.
