Meinl Percussion MCR-BK Rubber Conga Risers - Set of 4

Nice design for the most part and they do the trick as far as getting the drums off of the floor to better project sound. If they were a more rigid feeling product I think I would like them to the point of 5 stars - my congas dance a bit when I'm playing, but not terribly. I've only recently started sitting for gigs now instead of standing, and my LP metal stands were so solid, maybe I'm spoiled by that feel. Bottom line, these work pretty good, and the price is very good compared to alternative products. I might buy another set to add 2 extras to my existing 2 congas, maybe that'll help.Update: I've started using these laid down on their sides with pretty cool results. The side profile is slightly wedge shaped so I can use them more as shims, and the stability has greatly increased. I only use 3 per conga in a triangular pattern, but I'm getting much more surface area on both the floor and bottom conga rim. Basically the thickest part of the stands are where the congas sit. Much more stable now and still helps the sound as expected. Happy...

These feet even fit my other brand conga! They are the perfect combination of hard enough to stand up- yet flexible enough to fit a variety! Love them!

This is the perfect solution for players that want to play on the floor sitting down as opposed to standing with a conga stand. The congas are raised about 2" from the floor which is enough space to get the full tone of the instrument. I'm really pleased with this product and fully recommend it.

I had to use several hundred rubber bands to keep this from slipping and sliding around my congo. So for me this product wasn't the greatest until I made some alterations to it. They are well made, very sturdy. In my case I wish the slots were smaller on these rubber stands. If you have similar issues this is a cheap fix to the problem. Must be snug, or your congo will fall on you. I hooked my congo up to my chair by it's hook and a strap, before making the alterations so it wouldn't slip or fall down. Easy to bring along with you on the road rather than a carrying around a circular stand.

Depending on your dejembe, and your skills, these feet work well. Worth buying, trying. Provides a level cushioned set up that's easier on the back vs using straps, hands, a foot, your nice shoes or legs to hold your particular drum. Obviously it's made as their logo which some will get a laugh about. These are not light, adds to a bags weight; but they lay flat. This is also a good sign they are quality built, and can be used in many creative ways. No need to use all 4. Esp if you are using a microphone, you may need to find a new smaller profile, or slim one. Happy Bongos fellow Skin Bangers.

Decided to try the meinl feet.Solid.

Like high water pants with short legs these risers do just that: rise your drum off the floor just enough so it won't drown in its own sound. However, these little dudes are not perfect; they seem to fall off when I move the drum around. They become skewed when tork is put on them from a sideways force like puling the drum over, and they will come off. So all-in-all I would say for the price and service I give it a 3 1/2 star rating but since there is no half star I rounded up on this one.

I needed a stand for my djembe, but the metal adjustable ones are all a bit pricey for my current budget. Saw these and thought they were worth a try. Very basic simple design, no adjustment, but they give enough space above the floor to get full sound. Especially if you happen to be playing on a hardwood floor.Excellent for my needs. I still move the drum around a bit with my bare feet, on angles, which is just how I always do, but my bandmate, percussionist says they are perfect for her playing style, just needs a riser off the floor. Well worth the price. They went on a little hard, but they stay on well. Good product if they fit tightly.

Chunky and solid. Too loose on remo key tuned djembe 14". Have wedged them on the inside with wooden lolly sticks. Good product probably great on a conga as designed. You need this for the djembe: Meinl Chrome Plated Steely II Djembe Stand

I have a small studio and having my congas on there stands takes up a lot of room,but with these you can play them (and sound great) and it does'nt seem like the rooms full.they allow the sound to flow.

Used them this weekend on my Toca Congas. Very unstable, I personally wouldn't recommend them.

It's black, and smells like tire. Probably made from recycled tire rubber. Anyway it does the job, make sure the lip of the drum have to be thin for it to FIT into the gap on the item. It's good for keeping the drum upright, but I will not use to play the drum, for that you are better off buying a Congo stand!

Great idea that works for a djembe. 1/10 the price of a real djembe stand and smaller footprint. Not as stable but fully functional
