M201 Bongos Matador : Rock Solid Bongos

I use these bongos in a variety of musical situations from latin to hip-hip hop and beyond. They really are a standard 'workhorse' in my opinion.

Pros;

- These are really well-made, heavy duty drums.

- For placing between the legs, these bongos allow you to rotate the hardware around to a more comfortable setting.

Cons;

- Like most pro bongos these are heavy and take getting used to.

- I didn't like the skins; thin with many overtones. I eventually replaced mine with thicker skins, and now these sound as good as top-of-the line drums

I think that if you can deal with the weight these really are a great deal if you are looking for a solid instrument that will last you a lifetime.
