Question what kinda flats on bongo

[photogdude]

Although i don't mind the super slinkys, i've always been flats type of player, so what type of flats do you use on your Bongo?

 

[bassmonkeee]

I've used all manner of flats on my Bongos--La Bella, Sadowsky, DR, Dean Markley, GHS, Rotosound, TI Jazz Flats, Chromes/EBs...

I always end up back with the Ernie Ball flats.

But, just because they work for me doesn't mean they will work for you. But, it's a good place to start for the cost/availability aspect.

I'm tempted to try flats on mine, but don't want to to sink the money into them if I don't like the result.

Group III flats are like $25. Best value flat out there

Not the 5 string set, i think they're $35. I know it's not a lot, but with 4 kids, if i don't like them, that's good money that could've been used elsewhere.
