 Unlike many of his compatriots, Ngcobo resisted the use of electronic drum kits and synthesizers, instead using a more minimalistic and traditional style of a single acoustic guitar and bass.On occasion, Ngcobo would also play a rudimentary instrument made out of a 5-litre oli can, wood, wire and nails known as an "igogogo".These sounds came together to create what was called a "more intimate aesthetic" than many other contemporary Maskanda guitarists.
