The Tambourine is becoming popular again, as many rap artists and others are using tambourines in their music. Cheap plastic tambourines don't sound good, however the Tambourines sold at BeachConga are made at the legendary Suantuario Conga factory in Baja California, and they sound great. They're made of real wood with a Chivo-leather head. The big conga in the video is also made by Suantuario. Mine is beat up, but there are plenty of new Conga drums in stock at BeachConga.com
