Bongo drums are traditionally played between the knees while seated. The player typically positions one drum (the high-pitched macho) on the right and the other (the lower-pitched hembra) on the left. This positioning allows for easy access and facilitates rhythmic playing with both hands. The player uses a combination of finger techniques to create various sounds and rhythms.
