LP Prestige Brass Timbales represent a thorough reexamination of the single-headed timbale concept. LP has completely overhauled materials, hoops, tuning mechanisms, mounting stability, and a myriad of factors affecting the marriage of stick-to-drum. Consequently, the LP timbale shells resonate with authentic cascaras. The LP Prestige Timbale heads yield muted and open tones that rouse a band. Improved rims and rim seating make for rimshots that are easier to play and that project ambient exclamations without harsh clang.LP Prestige Timbales feature top-facing key-adjustable tuning rods for rapid pitch tweaks. LP designers have shifted the position of the shell rib to open up more sticking space and foster brighter cascara tones. Low-mass side plates further free up shell response. When sticks strike heads, there is no choking, only the liberation of pleasing overtones. Sustain heightens and the whole drum reacts as one. If that weren't enough, the center block between timbale pairs was revamped to minimize distracting shell movement, and it contains a handy tuning key holder. The clamping screw has been recessed, lessening the possibility of collision and reducing torque.

These LP Timbale Sticks are hickory and available in a variety of sizes with traditional rounded ends. The LP248D model is sold in pairs of 4. Length: 1/2" Diameter: 16 5/8"

It is the force which drives all human beings to achieve, to strive and to make their dreams come true.The story of Latin Percussion, Inc. is the passion of one man. A passion which drove him to create, innovate and unmistakably change the face of percussion forever.In 1956 a young mechanical engineer and avid photographer from the Bronx named Martin Cohen happened upon New York's famous Birdland jazz club. He walked in and was greeted by the sounds of Cal Tjader's hot Latin jazz. Cohen was so taken by the infectious music that he became a regular at the Monday night jam sessions, which were headed by flutist Herbie Mann with percussionists like Candido and Jose Mangual. It was Mangual in particular who was an inspiration to Cohen.Up until then, there was no role model that exemplified greatness,Cohen said.That's what I saw in Mangual, and that's what I wanted to be, somebody who had that mastery of something.Cohen became a student of the 1960's Latin scene, and soon wanted his own set of bongos. 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

The djembe drum, rich in overtones, is one of the most popular instruments indigenous to West Africa, and is suitable for stage and drum circle. Everything in the design of the ancient instrument conspires to deliver a wide palette of overtones.When conceiving the LP Aspire Bowl-Shaped Djembe, Latin Percussion designers looked to the belly of the beast-to the distinctive top portion of the hourglass/goblet resonating cavity that is responsible for the germination of the daunting low fundamentals and snapping high frequencies. The operative assumption was: if we alter this chamber, we can focus the sound. The assumption proved correct.LP engineers have created a special bowl shape for the Aspire djembes, which serves to attenuate errant overtones and focus an increased range of fundamental pitches. In addition, the open tones gain incredible sustain and projection, a characteristic that is highly desirable in a djembe drum.Created of kiln-dried, environmentally friendly Siam oak, the LP
