The LP LP271 is a traditional tambora drum with a wood rim. The tambora is central to merengue and other Dominican and Caribbean styles, producing its characteristic sound from a combination of head tone and rim shots. LP's wood rim construction gives it authentic feel and a warmer, rounder tone than metal-rimmed alternatives.

This is an instrument for the percussionist who wants to explore the rhythmic traditions of the Dominican Republic and surrounding regions. LP's construction quality means it plays consistently and holds tuning reliably. A great addition to any world percussion collection or Latin music setup.
