LP Matador Conga

The working player's conga

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.

    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.
