Shell Height: 32" (Most congas are 28" - 30" tall; LP series congas are 30" tall; Aspire congas are 28" tall). The additional height yields more power & increases the musical responsiveness.

Wood Shell: Ash Wood - highly resonant wood

Heads: Hand selected natural rawhide skins stamped with LP's seal & Giovanni's stamped signature

Rims: Patented Extended Collar LP Comfort Curve® II Rims

Hardware: Palladium Conga uses Premium Galaxy Hardware - the same hardware on Galaxy congas, which is the strongest, best designed & most musically responsive hardware available

Steel Bands: Four Steel bands rap around each Palladium series conga. These bands do several things, including reinforce the shell; give a distinguished, & stylistic, look; & add tone & textural nuances.
