We prefer LP® congas above all other brands. That's why we play and sell them. We believe LP® makes the highest quality and most beautiful sounding wood and fiberglass congas.
Wood conga shells are generally warmer sounding than fiberglass shells; and fiberglass are generally more resonant. Palladium wood and Galaxy wood congas are the exception to this rule. Their premium ash wood shells are as resonant as most any fiberglass shell.
LP Congas - Advanced congas with the highest quality parts and aesthetics. We believe the sound and looks of LP congas are the best in the industry. That's why we specialize in LP congas. Why should we sell drums not as good?
Matador Congas - Matador are the best intermediate congas in the industry. They use 5/16" lugs, which is the same size as most LP congas, except the Palladium and Galaxy congas. Matadors have bold, round shells and are solid. They are outstanding drums for the cost.
Aspire Congas - Aspire conga heads are smaller than Matador and LP series conga heads. The smaller heads make the drum easier to control. It also makes the drums higher in pitch. They are great beginner drums. Adults and children 10 years and older can learn and grow on them.
World Beat Mini Conga - These World Beat congas are great for children to learn on, but any advanced player can enjoy them too. Their small size offers a great range of high tones and they are solid enough for any adult. They are 21" tall, wood and have soft strike, black rims. They are a high quality mini conga.
LP Hardware & Accessories - LP designs its own accessories. Since they are conga experts they make stands, bags and parts to perfectly fit and enhance all their drums.

LP Conga Models
LP® has over 20 conga models which are organized into four main "Series": World Beat®; Aspire®; Matador®; and LP®.
Each LP conga series is designed for a particular playing level.
World Beat and Aspire congas are designed for beginners - ages 7 and UP.
Matador congas are designed for intermediate and advanced drummers. They use 5/16" lugs, which is the same size as most LP congas, yet they are much less expensive. For instance, Matador wood congas & Matador Puerto Rican wood congas are 24 - 40% less expensive than all the LP series congas; and the Matador Custom wood congas are 47 - 54% less than LP series congas.
LP congas are designed for advanced players. You get what you pay for. LP congas have all the best tones, parts and designs.
