Drumming fun for beginners

The MB202H NT bongo set from Thomann's in-house brand Millenium offers authentic Latin American musical flair at a fair price. Crafted from solid birch wood, these bongos are an ideal option for beginners learning the basic playing techniques, while the shell hardware ensures smooth tuning of the natural heads, even under high tension. With the handy tuning key included here, achieving the bright, high-pitched tones typical of salsa music is easy.

Birch wood with an amber look

The Millenium bongos, featuring a visually appealing amber finish, are crafted from high-quality birch staves in the classic barrel construction, with shells that taper slightly towards the base. The two shells are connected by a simple wooden bridge, as is traditional, while the mostly black-lacquer finish hardware – lugs and hoops – pairs with chrome-plated tension screws to create a clean, understated aesthetic. Rubber caps on the screw nuts are a practical touch, preventing scratches when the bongos are placed on delicate surfaces.

The perfect starter set

Given its extremely affordable price, the Millenium MB202H NT bongo set is primarily designed for beginners and students, making this set ideal for both private use and music education in schools. The sound quality is sufficient for learning the basics and building confidence, with open and muffled beats – whether played with the index finger or the whole hand – clearly distinguishable, which helps simplify the learning of playing techniques. For those seeking to enhance the instrument later on, the bongos can easily be upgraded by fitting higher-quality heads.

About Millenium

Millenium is one of Thomann's in-house brands and has been an integral part of the store's range since 1995. More than 800 products – from drums and percussion through to accessories such as microphone stands, racks, and recording workstations – bear the Millenium label. These products are made by renowned companies who also manufacture products for other well-known brands. Since they are imported directly from the factory without any further distributors or sales companies, they can be sold at particularly attractive prices. Incidentally, one in every four Thomann customers has already purchased at least one Millenium product.

Positioning the macho and hembra correctly

To achieve the correct playing position, right-handed players hold the bongos between their legs, with the smaller drum, the "macho", on the left and the larger "hembra" on the right; the drumheads are angled slightly away from the body. The "macho" should sit slightly higher to allow comfortable access to both drums while leaning forward. Left-handed players simply reverse this setup. Unlike congas, bongos are typically played with the index fingers, although the "hembra" is often struck with the whole hand as well. A good starting point for beginners is the standard bongo rhythm known as the "Martillo".

Nice sounding bongas
Uros S 01.04.2015
I bought those mainly to learn some latino rhytm and to add some sound to our acoustic music and of course to give it to the kids to learn some percussion beats.
Instrument is very solid made and sound wise quite well sounding considering the price I paid for. It comes with a tuning key which is very useful in terms of getting a more propoer sound out of the drums.
Comparing to higher level instruments sure is a big difference, but for learning and adding some latino beats to the music you play and also for live gigging, the instrument is just perferct. Of course you should not expect the details and sound to be like with 8 times more expanisve, but overall difference is smaller then price difference is.

Very good for the price but not same color as in picure.
TrEr 31.01.2018
The quality is impressive for the price. The sound is not quite as good as the most expensive bongos I've tried but more than adequate.

The only negative is that the color in the picture is VERY misleading. In the pictures it looks kinda golden and shiny with an even finish. In real life if has a natural wood color so more brown'ish and put together from very different looking pieces of wood. So it has a more "striped" apperance with varying shades of natural wood color. If I had known this I would probably had considered the other color option instead.

In short: It looks a lot cheaper than in the photos but works fine sounds great.

Great fun.

I'm only learning to play the bongos, so I didn't want to spend a lot on a beginner kit. But I feel these are adequate for any level of player.

Very good for the money, but...
ClareBassIreland 18.01.2025
...it's a case of getting what you pay for, sonically a bit flat and challenged on projection, but good to start on and I guess, if you can get a good sound out if these it bodes well with a more expensive set...it will be a starter set and we will have to see how it holds up with multiple users (it's ultimate purpose), but for the price, you can't complain...
