I still think Donkey Konga would be kickass. I hear it is actually a good drumming beat game thing!

djembe is a more versatile drum and can act alone, congas either need to come in pairs or along with bongos to be useful at all

i would suggest buying a djembe because they can be used without any other drums, you can get a wide array of tones from very low and booming, to high tones for accents

get a remo, best djembes ever
