Listen to sound samples and compare the Patato fiberglass congas with the Galaxy fiberglass congas
I think the Patatos are the perfect Rock 'n Rock congas: Bright, rich (at every volume), and resonant - they can be very loud. I absolutely love the bright timbre on these congas. They can work will all styles of music, but I love them most with rock and in drum circles.

LP Patato congas are the choice
for professional congaueros all over the
world.
Carlos "Patato" Valdes played and central part
in the development of fiberglass conga drums, in 1978, in collaboration with LP
Music's founder, Martin Cohen. It was through a recording session
with the legendary "Patato"
at Martin Cohen's home studio that the fiberglass congas took root. The
design Patato liked most included tall drums with a wide belly and small bottom.
So, today LP makes the Patato Series Congas with that as the blueprint.
