When Latin Percussion was founded in the 1960’s, timbales were only heard in Latin music. Today, more than three decades later, all genres of music have embraced this versatile percussion instrument.
LP’s experience in building timbales has resulted in a distinctive, modern shell, that uses a ribbed design with both top and bottom edges turned in, to create a livelier, more cutting “cascara” (the sound produced when striking the side of the shell).
All LP Timbales, Thunder Timbs & Timbalitos come with a chrome plated, heavy duty steel timbale standStand has a die cast, geared tilter that locks in tight for either straight or tilted playing.
Height of stand is adjustable, and also has an anti-rattle sleeve.
It comes complete with an adjustable cowbell holder made from welded steel and features LP’s superior eye-bolt assembly.
LP Timbale Shells are available in genuine stainless steel, solid brass, or bronze; each possessing its own distinct sound.
Genuine stainless steel shells produce very bright and crisp, loud sounds
Solid brass shells produce warmer sounds
Bronze shell are the finest quality & produce a superior & distinctive cutting cascara sound.
