- 18. CONGA DRUM There are five basic strokes: • Open tone :played with the four fingers near the rim of the head, producing a clear resonant tone with a distinct pitch. • Muffled or mute tone :like the open tone, is made by striking the drum with the four fingers, but holding the fingers against the head to muffle the tone. • Bass tone: played with the full palm on the head. It produces a low muted sound. • Slap tone : the most difficult technique producing a loud clear "popping" sound (when played at fast and short intervals is called floreo, played to instill emotion in the dancer). • Touch tone: as implied by the name, this tone is produced by just touching the fingers or heel of the palm to the drum head. It is possible to alternate a touch of the palm with a touch of the fingers in a maneuver called heel-toe (manoteo), which can be used to produce the conga equivalent of drumrolls.
