LP Americana Cajon

LP's snare-fitted cajon

The Americana groups LP's cajons — plain, snare-fitted, and slap-top — around the format that turned a Peruvian box drum into standard equipment for acoustic gigs.

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

  • Latin Percussion

    Martin Cohen founded LP in 1964 after failing to buy decent congas in New York, and the company effectively industrialised Afro-Cuban percussion: consistent, tunable, durable instruments where the tradition had relied on hide, rope, and luck. LP hardware — the Jam Block, the Cyclops tambourine, the Aspire student line — is standard equipment worldwide.
