Meinl Headliner Series congas represent the best of both worlds: uncompromising sound and outstanding value. Both congas measure in at 28 inches tall and are equipped with dependable hardware, comfortably rounded rims, and 8mm tuning lugs. Each full-sized conga features a Siam oak shell for a warm fundamental and marvelous projection. The rawhide heads lend a snappy attack and a traditional feel. If you're planning on taking your congas to a drum circle ? like many percussionists at Sweetwater ? there's no need to buy extra hardware! Meinl includes two height-adjustable basket stands that are easy to set up and protect your shells from getting scuffed up on the ground. Whether these are your first or fifth set of congas, you can't go wrong with Headliner Series congas from Meinl.

High-quality heads and hardware





For discerning percussionists, a conga is only as good as it plays ? and Meinl Headliner congas deliver on all fronts. They're equipped with rawhide heads for a responsive, snappy attack. The rounded rims are gentle on the hands and provide impressively uniform tension across the entire head. As a bonus, the 8mm tuning lugs promote tuning stability. All the hardware is decked out in a handsome powder-coated finish that looks striking in any lighting condition.





Play anytime, anywhere





Playing with other musicians is one of the best ways to enjoy your Meinl Headliner conga set. To make jamming out easy, Meinl ships each conga with a basket stand. The patented 3-legged design is super simple to set up and features independent height adjustment on each leg. The rubber pads hold your conga securely so that you can play with confidence anywhere ? take it to the beach, your local drum circle, and everywhere in between.
