OT: Craigslist offering, ugh!

Man alive does drum look it would be heavy or what. I might offer to
trade carrying a Fender twin as opposed to this thing LOL. Talk about
rough hewn.

those drums are made from a light weight wood, coconut or similar.

I recently bought a set of congas. The wood is palm and I was
surprised at how rough it is inside. Kinda cool though.

That would be very rare... most congas are Siam oak.
Is the wood 2-3" thick? Then it might be palm. If
you can look inside and see seams, it's certainly oak.

It says rubber wood. I guess I assumed that is palm. It is pretty
rough inside though. Almost too 'hairy' for oak that I'm familiar
with.
