Hear the beat of the drums. Bongo drums. I wonder if it is a bongo drum or because there are two it should be plural? I think its a Bongo drum because the male and female (That\u2019s what they are called) drums are joined as one and sometimes just called Bongos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I made two sets, then I would have Bongo drums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have an adult son, Steven. He is a professional class percussionist and started playing about 45 years ago. He presently has a huge drum collection. I bet he doesn\u2019t have a set of baby Bongos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So I designed this set in my CAD system and made this 3D printed version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The male has a 60mm head and the female has an 80mm head. Both sections stand about 70mm high. It is not very big. The reason I call it a \u201cbaby\u201d bongo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heads are PLA plastic and the tops are 0.5mm thick. It is actually not a bad drum head. The body is printed with ASA plastic, a Styrene. It is very tough and durable. Yes, the side tension rods are printed in place and not really functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mostly for decoration and I am sure Steve will be able to create a rhythm with this set of Bongos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
