Product Description

Product Description
Here's a great and affordable place to begin learning the magic of timbale playing, whether used traditionally or as an addition to a drum kit. This set has 13' and 14' diameter, 6-1/2' deep shells that provide a characteristic timbale sound and project enough to cut through even the loudest bands. Features include drum kit-style tuning, a heavy duty, fully height adjustable, chrome plated tilting stand. LP Aspire Cowbell, cowbell holder, and a drum key included.About LPPassion.

It was then that he learned about the politics of Latin percussion.Because of the government-imposed trade embargo against Cuba, finding good instruments in the United States was a difficult prospect at best. This obstacle did not dull the passion of young Cohen, however, and he put his engineering skills to use and created his own set of bongos. Using photos of Johnny Pacheco's bongos, he created his first prototype. Of course, practice makes p
