    Playing a regular drumset for 50 years now (and some 50+ common and exotic instruments) I decided to expand my possibilities further, so as an older guy I could do some advanced looping and recording and maybe use the instruments in an acoustic band. So I got a cajon, djembe, tabla, congas, and bongos. Well. 😁 Now I could write a series of books or do a 100 videos… 😝 My previous drumming experiences helped a little, but honestly not much. I finally managed to get something recordable out of the tablas, but that didn‘t help much with the congas. When I finally got a decent slap on the congas (the slap sound takes up the most practicing time), there was nothing I could have transferred to the bongos, even though they look very similar and I even use them together in a set today. To make a long story short: From what I experienced with the hand drums, it always pays to not try to transfer prior knowledge from other instruments to new instruments all by yourself or just KZread counseling. Get a good teacher, like Kalani, and learn the basics for that individual instrument from him or her, even if you think that you already have enough experience. You don‘t, believe me. 😁 Once you‘ve established a more or less flawless and solid basis on an instrument, you need to define a reachable goal. With that you will see how miraculously the real fun part of playing that new instrument sets in. 🙂

    Cajon for kick and snare sounds + Djembe for everything else. You can actually stick a bass drum pedal onto cajons which I don't think you mentioned. Djembe and Cajon combo ftw (I also got to rehead my bongos for tom sounds).

    I've just bought 2nd hand Meinl bongos, waiting for them to arrive. I have never owned bongos before. I bought 2nd hand so then I could buy good quality brand for less money. I assumed they would also sound "worn in". Is that a thing? Like wearing in a pair of shoes? I don't know, I guessed.
