Hand drum groove
The hand drum groove holds tumba, conga, and quinto as one stem. Open tones, slaps, and heel-tip strokes share the file. Bass stays on the remainder of the mix.
Conga Extractor
A conga extractor writes a hand drum groove and the remainder of the mix. Open tones, slaps, and heel-tip motion sit on congas so you can loop the tumbao.
