Gon Bops Mariano Series Congas

Named for the founder

The Mariano series revives Mariano Bobadilla's original California shell profile, which is squatter and wider than the Cuban pattern most makers copy.

Category

  • Hand Percussion

    Congas, bongos, djembes, cajons, timbales, frame drums, and the small instruments that live on a percussion table: tambourines, cowbells, shakers, and claves.

Made by

  • Gon Bops

    Mariano Bobadilla began building congas in Los Angeles in the 1950s and the drums became the West Coast standard in Latin jazz. The brand went dormant and was revived, now under Drum Workshop, with the original shell profiles reissued.
