The Gon Bops Difference
All Gon Bops Conga Drums feature a compact, low-profile design, making them comfortable to hold and a pleasure to play. Using the same solid-stave construction as California Series Bongos, these traditional Cuban drums sing with world-class tone!

MORE CHOICE
Gon Bops offers more choice than any other manufacturer.

Gon Bops offers more choice than any other manufacturer. More choice of Wood – air-dried Appalachian Red Oak, North American Ash, Durian and Parawood – and more choice of Heads – Cowhide, Water Buffalo, Fiberskyn®, Nuskyn® or Skyndeep®.

BEARING EDGES
Gon Bops attention to detail is evident even on the bearing edges of our drums, eliminating dead spots and allowing for perfect tuning, and warm, full sound.

TRADITIONAL AFRO-CUBAN SHAPE
Gon Bops conga shells are shaped in the traditional Afro-Cuban style for increased volume and resonance. These instruments are legendary in every way: sound, design, and performance.

TIGHT PROFILE HARDWARE
Combined with the traditional Cuban shape of our drums, this Gon Bops exclusive design means less pressure on wood and hardware, and less effort required to tune heads and drums.

GON BOPS BACKING PLATE
Smart Gon Bops design protects wood and hardware by extending the backing plate to strengthen areas naturally under stress, but typically left unprotected.

SMART DESIGN SIDE PLATES
Gon Bops Side Plates eliminate need for cup washers, allowing for extended tuning range and longer hardware life.
