LP Tito Puente Timbales

The signature timbales of the mambo bandleader

Tito Puente's LP timbales — brass or steel shells with the distinctive deep rim — are the reference instrument for the idiom he did more than anyone to popularise.

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

Made by

  • 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.
