I'm no conguero, but I've always wanted a conga to mess around with the tumbao I learned a dozen years ago in college, and to play along with Eddie Palmieri records for fun. My 2 year old daughter also likes drums so I thought this would fit the bill for my small apartment and casual intent. It's pretty spot on, being small, easy to store and not very loud. The sound is pretty much what you hear in online review and demonstration videos. One thing to note is that it seems to replicate the open tones of a conga well, but other aspects like slaps and bass tones sound very flat and lifeless - like you're slapping a piece of wood instead of a drum head, which is exactly what is happening. The LP videos tend to focus on open tones, but there are some other videos on YouTube showing more varied strokes. Nevertheless, it sounds pretty much like a conga to me so I'm happy. The rectangular shape is weird, since an actual conga is round. If you place your arms in the same position as you would for an actual conga, you will strike this drum with a different portion of the hand/fingers. So far, I have "solved" this by turning the rectangle counter-clockwise by about 30 degrees so that the corner is facing me and each hand is striking on a different, adjacent side. This partially restricts my access to the "second conga," but I don't even know what to do with a second conga so that's fine with me. Again, I'm no conguero and know nearly nothing about technique, but it seems to sound much better when I turn it and it's easier to play - particularly the slaps. I considered other alternatives like the Compact Congas or a tiny requinto, but I figure if I'm going to compromise I might as well compromise all the way. This is pretty much perfect for my situation, it's fun to play, and I can play a conga tumbao on it, so I'm sold. Review: Love love love this Cool little cajon drum. - Certainly it doesn't have the rich tones that a regular conga with a skin head would have,... or even a synth head, but it sounds really good. It has nice resonance and you can easily get several different sounds out of it - more so, I think, than with a regular conga. But then, I'm used to drumming on odd things more than real skin drums (If you can make a deck of cards sound musical....I'm probably better at making music with cards than congas or bongos, haha). Reviews state that it is more a cajon than a conga. Well, yeah, the head IS made of wood. If you've ever hand drummed on tables, furniture, the window ledge of your car door... or just about anything you can get your hands on, then you are going to love this. The tone/pitch difference in the two drum sides is perfect. It's just a bit larger than I thought it would be ( I didn't really look at the dimensions, not that it would matter anyway, but it is 19.5 x 11.5 x 3"), but this is totally portable and can satisfy that need to drum on everything and is a great little portable drum to practice on. It sounds enough like a conga that you can play it with a band - you'd need to mic it for sure. It is loud enough that it can be heard in different rooms in my house, but certainly not as loud as a regular conga would be. The issues I have with this (and I didn't downgrade because of it, because I've just solved them myself) are 1) Does not come with a bag. 2)There are two screws on the side edge for placement of the strap. But they are only on one "side", the front or the back, depending on how you play. I prefer playing with the low drum on the right, so the strap works well for me. Turn the drum around and the strap is attached to the bottom side of the drum - can't see that working out too well for those that prefer the low drum on the left, which I also do sometimes. 3) The strap itself is useless. It is advertised at being a lap strap or shoulder strap, but even with adjustments, it is too short and useless as a shoulder strap. As a lap strap it is useless for me as the drum isn't sliding off my lap without it. It isn't even useful for carrying the drum on your back. Toss. I bought myself a drum strap and I use that for playing while standing. I would often play bongos like that and used a guitar strap. This drum strap I got is actually very useful with the bongos as well. ## Features - Conga Sounds from an innovative Laptop Cajon Design - Complimentary high and low pitches emulate the traditional Conga and Quinto set up - Para Wood and Birch Construction - H-3" W-11 1/2" D-19 1/2" - Includes a strap ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004UA91FQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #25,578 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #5 in Congas | | Body Material | Birch Wood | | Brand | Latin Percussion | | Brand Name | Latin Percussion | | Color | Natural | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 273 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00731201265584 | | Included Components | not included | | Item Dimensions | 11.5 x 3 x 19.5 inches | | Item Type Name | Cajons | | Item Weight | 5 pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 11.5 x 3 x 19.5 inches | | Manufacturer | KMC Music Inc | | Material | Birch Wood, Wood | | Model Name | LP1436 | | Model Number | LP1436 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | LP1436 | | UPC | 731201265584 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Https://www.

If you place something on your legs to reflect the sound it is great.I use it as a box cajon to practice in a chair."between the legs" lap, or between my legs. to reflect the sound, I found AN 18 X 18 FLEXIBLE FLOOR TILE, CUT IT IN HALF, the back was sticky so I put them together, sticky side to sticky side,Place on your legs , put the cajon on top of it and play. ## Frequently Bought Together - LP Laptop Conga LP1436 - Latin Percussion White Wood Clave - Latin Percussion LP Twist Shaker - Medium, Blue --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/4261948-lp-laptop-conga-lp1436](https://www.desertcart.no/products/4261948-lp-laptop-conga-lp1436) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
