"TV people are very picky about what looks good on TV" says Alfonso. "I use Meinl Fibercraft Congas, Bongos and Djembes with the new Sterling Silver Finish. All TV people I have worked with so far love this sparkling finish. My drums look so great with all the studio-lights and the sound is simply fantastic."
