30th Anniversary - Drum #59 - 11'' - Ready to ship

What better way is there to celebrate 30 years of making ultra high quality hand drums than to create a collection of congas shaped like some of the early MOPERCs? The 30th Anniversary Series, in Brazilian Mahogany and with a straighter shape, will be instant classics, likely to improve in value over time because only 100 will be made.

Each conga is numbered on its unique name plate in the back

In a word: Traditional. In other words, they sound like MOPERCs! Pure, but with significant differences from other MOPERC models. With a straighter shape resulting in a smaller internal volume, the 30th Anniversary Series drums provide a more focused sound that is warmed by the Brazilian mahogany they are made of. When compared to the larger belly shape of other MOPERC drums, which produce brighter mid-to-high frequencies combined with a lower undertone, this model produce more mid frequencies from the open tones, creating a mellow sound. Because the fundamental note is higher, less skin tension is required to attain a given note, providing a greater tuning range with less ring and overtone.
