    Tycoon Supremo Cajon

    Hand percussion

    The Supremo cajon is Tycoon's volume seller: a Siam oak box with fixed snare wires, made in the company's own factory, at a price that puts it in most rehearsal rooms.

    LP Classic Conga

    Hand percussion

    The Classic is the conga most people picture: Siam oak staves, LP's Comfort Curve rim, and hardware that survives being tuned hard and often. It is the drum against which other production congas are described.

    Tycoon Master Handcrafted Congas

    Hand percussion

    Master Handcrafted congas are Tycoon's professional drums, with thicker Siam oak staves and hand-selected heads, at prices well below the American brands.

    LP Aspire Conga

    Hand percussion

    Aspire puts a real tunable conga with LP hardware into a first instrument, and is the drum most school and community programmes end up owning.

    Meinl Marathon Classic Congas

    Hand percussion

    The Marathon Classic line is Meinl's workhorse conga: Siam oak, heavy hardware, and a rim contour designed to be played hard for a long night.

    LP Galaxy Giovanni Series Conga

    Hand percussion

    Developed with Giovanni Hidalgo, these congas use a wider, flatter rim contour and a shell profile tuned for the fast, melodic hand technique he is known for.

    Tycoon Supremo Bongos

    Hand percussion

    Supremo bongos cover the standard pair with Siam oak shells and steel hardware, and are among the most common bongos in schools outside the LP catalogue.

    LP Matador Conga

    Hand percussion

    Matador sits below the Classic on price and above most of the market on durability, in Siam oak or fibreglass, and is the line most often bought by players who gig with their drums rather than record with them.

  • Model

    LP Classic Bongos

    Hand percussion

    LP's Classic bongos pair Siam oak shells with rawhide heads and traditional bell-shaped hardware; they are the drums almost every recorded bongo part since the 1970s was played on.
