Of all the drums I own and play, the Tumba is my favorite drum to play.That deep toned thunderous sound, it commands people to listen to your playing. I just recently added a larger Tumba to my arsenal of Drums. This thunder thumper sports a 13 1/4 playing surface with a very wide belly which is referred to as a "Boomba", which was created by Volcano Percussion Hawaii right here in Paradise. This Boomba has a massive open tone which sustains and projects so well it compliments my other Drums with its deep tone.
I like to listen to Poncho Sanchez. In his music, you can hear that deep rich Tumba tones in his licks. I hope with my set up of tumba's I can emulate that sound of his kind of play.
