The Latin Percussion 60th Anniversary timbales bring together the best of the past and present to celebrate Latin Percussion's six decades as a leader in percussion. These commemorative 14" and 15" timbales feature rolled-out steel shell bottoms that evoke LP's original handcrafted drums. Yet they also incorporate the company's patented Top Tuning system for fast, convenient tuning control. Finished in distinctive Antique Bronze with Rustic Bronze hardware, the timbales have a refined vintage vibe. Since they're a special 60th Anniversary edition produced in limited quantities, these hybrid timbales are sure to be coveted by collectors and performers alike.
Honor LP's Legacy With Rolled-Out Shell Bottoms
The rolled-out bottoms on the anniversary timbales are a nod to the traditional shells that originally put LP on the map. Mimicking the look and feel of LP's iconic vintage models, these handcrafted rolled edges allow the shells to resonate freely for optimal tonal response. Combined with LP's signature focused steel shell attack, the rolled-out design produces a familiar yet modern timbale tone that respects the company's history.
Top Tuning System Allows Fast, Intuitive Pitch Adjustments
While the rolled shell bottoms celebrate LP's past, the convenient top tuning system represents ongoing innovation. This patented design puts pitch control up top for quick and easy tuning adjustments. Simply use the included T-handle wrench to tune up fast and maintain optimal tension, so you can easily achieve and hold the ideal timbale pitch. This modern tuning combined with traditional shells makes these commemorative timbales the best of both worlds.
Antique Bronze Finish and Rustic Hardware for Vintage Style
Beyond the shell design, the timbales get their refined vintage character from the Antique Bronze finish and Rustic Bronze hardware. The rich bronze shell color has an antiqued, oxidized look, while the hardware matches it with a pleasingly weathered patina. Details like the bronze tension rods and commemorative LP60 badge provide eye-catching accents. The overall retro aesthetic gives these modern drums a cool throwback personality.
Limited 2024 Production for Collectors
Since they're a special 60th Anniversary edition, these commemorative timbales will only be produced in limited quantities during 2024. Their unique hybrid of vintage and modern timbale design, along with the exclusive finish and badges, make them appealing for collectors and performers.
