Good overall
These congas have a fantastic clear tone for their price. Once the stock heads are swapped out for some better ones, the sound becomes perfect for studio work. Nice and dry.
The build quality of both the congas and their stands is good overall and moderately sturdy; however 2 flaws are very evident at least for me:
-The rubber rings glued to the bottom of the congas for protection will come off very easily, the glue used wasn't that great. I glued them back on using hardware-store wood glue and haven't had another problem since. That's a very minor problem though.
-More importantly, the tuning nuts will not stay put and keep their tuning. I'm not sure how they're so unreliable, but after any significant time playing or time left alone, these congas will become detuned. This carries on happening even after you break in the new heads. It's simple to tune these things anyway, and who really cares about perfect tuning with congas, but still a bit annoying when you need consistency, especially when I've never before encountered a drum that so readily detunes.
Other than that, this is a cracking percussion set for the beginner or intermediate and straightforward to set up and use straight out of the box.

I used it for more than 50 gigs and still great
Im using it for playing chill out music play along so i traveled more than 50 times and i never treat them like expensive stuff with lot of care and still they sound like new! They have hundreds of scratches so i would recommend to buy and bag for them, you will save they lack polish, don't be cheap like me for few euros :)
Sound is great, also i played on few big gigs with professional PA and they really sound great.

Great congas
Excellent build quality, good sound and really good stands. Was very pleasantly surprised at the quality/sound of this set given that they were probably the cheapest on the market at the time. No regrets - as good as anything we've played anywhere.
