LP Compact Conga review

A lack of drum shell does equal a lack of bass tone but these compact congas and bongos still manage to sound great.

MusicRadar Verdict

These additions reveal a dedication to innovation and the level of quality that LP have become known for, while keeping the finished article reasonably affordable to most serious players. So now there's no excuse for not practising - slip one into your rucksack and set off to the park. Genius.

Great sounding and highly durable. Extremely easy to transport and easy to incorporate into your set-up.

The absence of a drum shell means the conga and quinto have virtually no bass tone.

MusicRadar's got your back Our team of expert musicians and producers spends hours testing products to help you choose the best music-making gear for you. Find out more about how we test.

Giovanni Hidalgo has taken the art of playing congas to new heights with his unique technique and highly melodic approach. Born into a musical family in Puerto Rico, he has played with a stellar list of artists, including Tito Puente, Dizzy Gillespie, Carlos Santana and even Paul Simon and Mickey Hart.

He has taught at the Berklee College of Music and, with a couple of teaching videos out, seems keen to share his wealth of percussive knowledge with the world.

With this in mind, LP have been keen to be associated with Giovanni, and the marriage has created a staggering array of hand drum lines that bear Hidalgo's name. There are already two sets of full-size signature congas, a set of bongos and a djembe on the market, and now, a line of compact congas and bongos.

The Giovanni Compact Conga was introduced first and featured an 11" head providing the diameter and feel of a quinto. This was a big success for LP; so much so that they have added an 11¾" conga and, more recently, a set of Compact Bongos too.

Talking heads

To look at these drums you think, 'Fine'. There's full-size conga, quinto and bongo heads that sit high and proud of a comfort-curve style full-size rim and then... gulp! Nothing else! What on earth are you going to hope to hear from a conga with nothing even resembling a drum to be seen? The answer is that you get considerably more than you expect...

We were astonished with the sound of these drums, and we're sure this is to do with the lightweight but full mass of the special aluminium alloy rims, coupled with the replaceable synthetic heads, which are made by Evans. The rims have a removable bearing edge that the head rests on and is independent from the rim - this is one of the integral factors in getting such an impressive sound from such an unassuming instrument.

The rims can be disassembled via Allen key-operated lug holes on the underside of the rims. The drums are also tuned from underneath the rims via conventional size tuning lugs with a standard drum key.

The 11" quinto has nine tuning lugs and the 11¾" conga has 12, which results in a surprisingly wide tuning range. When tuning, we mounted them on LP's Compact Conga Mounting System which enables you to securely mount one or two congas from any cymbal stand and even tilt the stand to allow you to position two congas anywhere around your drum kit or percussion rig.

We positioned them above a set of Natal fibreglass congas in order to make a direct comparison; if you do the same, just make sure that you tighten all the bolts sufficiently. Their collapsible design means you will get an unpleasant squeak when you strike them if they are at all loose.

So, how do they sound? Surprisingly authentic in fact. The conga and quinto blend beautifully with superb slap sounds and resonant, warm open tones. When comparing them with a full-size set, we were amazed by how similar they sound, not just in tone, but in volume too, which is what was really impressive. They almost matched the volume achieved by their full-size cousins.

Their only slight shortfall is bass tone. With full-size congas, you get deep and resonant bass tones, played with the palm of the hands, thanks to their cigar shape and 28"-32" height. With the Compact series this is simply not possible, but that shouldn't prevent you from using these fine-sounding instruments for practice or even studio use.

We used one on a session and the producer, engineer and studio owner (not to mention a well-known drummer) all loved its sound. The Compact Congas are mutable for quieter practice and I found they sounded and felt best when mounted on a conventional snare stand, the heavier the better to stop the drum moving about too much.

Eastern and exotic

The newest addition to Giovanni's Compact series is a rather fine set of bongos, constructed from the same aluminium alloy as the congas. They consist of a full-size 7¼" macho and an 8 5/8" hembra (both with six tuning lugs) and feature synthetic heads both in one lightweight unit. They can be played with hands or sticks, and sound wonderful with either.

The macho cuts beautifully when played by hand, while with sticks it sounds exotic and somewhat Middle Eastern in flavour.

The hembra contrasts really well with its deeper tuning range and goes low enough to be really effective. The Compact Bongos can be mounted on most bongo stand bases with an included mounting post and this is best, as playing them on your lap is tricky when you start to really lay into them - and when you hear them you will surely want to do just that.

Giovanni's association with LP over recent years, and the many signature hand drums already devoted to him, is testament enough to how highly he is regarded in the percussion industry.

Pearl Travel

I bought the Pearl Travel Bongos and 11-3/4" Travel Conga and the build-quality exceeded my expectations. They sound fantastic, easy to fine-tune to your taste, and they're heavier than they look. They look fabulous. Very happy with this purchase.

Date Posted:

Great sound, perfect portability.

This drum sounds great and in my opinion is very underrated. I have the 11in quinto and it feels great. I was initially worried that the tuning bolts would get in the way, but they are placed in the perfect zones to not be an issue. Although it is only 1/4 the size of a real quinto, the bass is surprisingly present, especially on the new travel conga stand, but not limited to it either. It sounds great in a snare basket or on your lap too! All in all, I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a great drum with big sound, but also a professional quality drum that you can put in your backpack and take anywhere. I'm definitely going to get every model they offer of these congas.

Pearl Travel Congas Superior in Sound.

I own both Pearl Travel Congas and LP Compact Congas. I find that the Pearl Travel Congas provide the best sound hands down. The sound is warm, great Tone, Slaps and Bass. LP has a great innovative idea for sleek, thin and cosmetically beautiful but the head they sell with it, has a horrible ringing, tinging sound. The slaps and tones are ok but bass completely absent. To get a great sound for the LP you would have to replace the head completely.

For me this travel conga is better sounding and more comfortable than an LP compact conga. Theis drum can be placed on your lap , unlike the lp. Also the small shell that it does have gives it much more sound than the lp. Fits in a backpack. Have used it for dance classes and trio gigs.

Not as versatile as the LP compact conga

I bought the large size Pearl travel conga hoping that it would complement the LP compact congas, of which there are currently only two sizes. Unfortunately the Pearl travel conga is really just a practice tool: it does not have a sound which is pleasing or usable in its own right. The LP compact congas, which have a ringing, pitchy, frame drum like sound are versatile (as practice tools, but also in multi-percussion setups, or in a drum set) in a way that the Pearl travel conga is not.

The Power (Live in Moscow)

I've been thinkin' all night, I've seen the world

More things than you know that could ever be

My girl, you're best that I've ever seen

So I've been thinkin' alright, this is it

This is what we got, what it's gonna be

My girl, I'll say a prophecy

I could dream in a sea from the garden of Eden, yeah

Coiled snake on my way but I won't believe it, yeah

I gave you forever

My secrets, my soul, undone

I gave you the great unknown

I'll always remember

The moment you let me go

And when I'm alone I'll know

I gave you the power

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Baby then you'll know

I've been in my hindsight, it was rough

So cruel just to be that tough

The world turns, I guess you better learn

Like a knife at a gun fight, still argue

But still the same old thrill

My girl, I bet you'll have a whirl

My secrets, my soul undone

I've been there, I just got home
