ok drummer peoples, I got some nice little bongos. So I assume that they need tuning. How the hell do you tell the key. I can't hear it. Somewhere I read that A was a good key. But I can't tell. I may be stupid. And also, they sound real nice on the outside edges, but kinda dead in the center.

Thanks from a non percussionist, for any info.

Most drummers really don't tune to a certain key. You might want to crank them up a bit, but other than that I wouldn't really bother with any key-identification. Just make sure they're not tuned to the same pitch.

thanks agent, cool.

you want the high bongo to make a "pock" sound, and the low bongo to make a "boop" sound.

How's that?

What've you been up to, man?

not nothing, jj. haven't worked since Thanksgiving. All I do is a little housework, watch some tv, drink, and record. And I'm really getting tired of that. Not. Hope you and yours had a great holiday season. have you checked out any of the 1.5 tunz in the clinic. That was fun. email me sometime.
