About this item

  • OUR MOST SOLID BONGOS: their hard-to-damage, thick synthetic shells can take a lot more abuse than traditional wood; plus, they won't expand or contract during changes in weather which can affect tuning
  • WHY IT MATTERS: you get to play more without hassle since the bongos require little to no maintenance; Journey Series Bongos are always ready to go from beaches to parks to open mic night
  • ONE TAKEAWAY: their sound doesn’t fall short of wood bongos by using buffalo heads; most higher-end bongos have the same heads, so you're getting consistent, authentic sound full of warmth, depth, and clarity
  • HOW TO ADJUST PITCH: includes a tuning wrench to make quick adjustments or head changes; tighten the steel tension rods for a higher pitch and loosen to drop pitch (bongos come pre-tuned but may require some adjustment)
  • SIZE: the heads measure 6 ½” and 7 ½” (an industry standard); the bongos are 7" tall and weigh 6.3 lbs with a standard size synthetic connection block that fits any stand (bongo stand sold separately)
  • ZOOM IN: our rounded rims sit below the heads so your hands don't make contact with the steel hardware while playing; you can fully engage without hurting your palms
  • THE BOTTOM LINE: they'll do the trick anywhere like acoustic shows, studios, in praise bands or campsite sing-alongs, and it doesn't matter what your skill level is; they're easy to play whether you're a drummer or singer with no percussion experience
  • THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality


The Meinl Journey Series Bongos—built to go anywhere, play any style. Durable synthetic shells withstand weather and travel while delivering resonance and projection. Natural buffalo skin heads (6 ½” & 7 ½”) provide dynamic, warm tone and a great feel. Fine-tune with four 8 mm lugs per drum—tuning wrench included for quick adjustments.

These bongos have a composite shell which looks very good. Buffalo hide heads are top quality. Decent hardware. The sound is on the high side but it has a very nice pop when the heads are tensioned. Very satisfied with these bongos. I am curious how a $500 pair would sound compared to these, but I can’t imagine they’d be that much better. A professional percussionist checked them out and said they were just fine and the higher pitch would complement his congas.

These bongos have solid construction and are a great set for beginners. They sound great. I wasn't sure about the ABS body instead of wood but it doesn't seem to effect the tone that much. I get a nice bright bong and a nice lower tone on the bigger one. The hide skin heads are the same high quality they put on their more expensive ones and the hardware is solid and won't break. For the price these are excellent quality bongos made by a major drum company.

I purchased these bongos for my son for Christmas - we are both very pleased. Although the shell is plastic it is quite sturdy. The bongos have a pleasing sound and are of good build quality. Overall the quality surpasses what I expected based on the reasonable price. I will buy more Meinl products in the future. I am very satisfied.

Granted, I am not a musician and far from being any kind of expert... I just like to drum on things... But I had a $100 gift card from my parents in law and thought why not have some fun with it. Not knowing anything about the company, I did a little research and it looked professional online. I got these in today and have been enjoying them! They feel robust. The sound is good. Very nice size. The quality of the make is great. I don't know anything about tuning them, but they come with a wrench. I just enjoy looking at them and using them.
