A pair of small drums (one slightly larger than the other) normally associated with
beatniks.
Bongos however, are commonly used in Latin and Afro-Cuban music. If you decide to invest in
bongos, be aware that people around you think that they are good at playing them.. this can be fixed by taking your bongos back and hammering a sexy beat with different methods (e.g. slap, muted slap,
rim shot, thumb, fingers, etc.)
Bob: Dude, can I see your bongos?
Charles: sure...
(Bob plays a beat with no rhythm,
tempo,
repetition, etc.)
Bob: Man, I own at this!
Charles:
yeah, right...
