Q: How should I care for the rawhide heads on my bongos?

To keep your rawhide heads in top condition, avoid extreme temperature changes and direct sunlight, which can cause them to dry out or stretch. If the heads become too dry, a very light application of a specialized drumhead conditioner can help. For any specific care questions, your Sweetwater Sales Engineer can provide personalized advice.

Thanks again to Sweetwater (and my rep Erik) for a great product at a great price and super fast shipping!

Recently purchased these to match their larger conga 'cousins' that a friend had gifted me several years ago. Like the congas, these LP Aspire bongos have a classic sound, feel solid while both playing and just holding, and look great! They have a great and responsive feel, and are louder than expected with a solid range for dynamics.

Also cannot overstate the outstanding Customer Experience with the Sweetwater folks. They definitely seem genuinely dedicated to providing great products and excellent service in every way imaginable!

Will be using Sweetwater for all my future musical needs, and highly recommend everyone else to do the same!

These sound amazing and at a great price. I want to thank Rogan for all his help . He is a great asset to Sweetwater
