OOOOOOhhh nice TIGERS!


You have many arrows in your quiver Kimosabe

Kaban, KK & Mike, thanks guys.
I was not a fan of these when I saw pics online, seems theres been a few changes since they first were released, they used to have a centre metal band like the Patatos before. Now obviously without the band, and new LP badge on also. When I saw them in the flesh I changed my mind, they look nice now with the darker finish and without the band. Plus considering the deal, I couldnt say no
They are basically dressed up 'Classics', Due to the sound I was looking for, I went with the option of 1 x 11.75" and 2 x 12.5" babies.

Wow! Super sweet looking set! Enjoy!

really really old school, just kidding...but it is kinda funny.

Psyammy, That's not kinda funny, that is too funny!

a little bit rustic

Love the rustic look of them tubs Andreas.
LP for their 50th anniversary is coming
out with some very interesting drums.
Check this one out, the wood texture
kind of look like your rustic looking set,

hmm, so i meet by my first refurbishment the current trend of this season.

andreas, those are some nice looking Cuban SONOC tumbadoras. They are awesome sounding congas, I had 5 of them but they kept on splitting on me on account of the Miami humidity, they are one of the best sounding congas!

Nice classic indeed. I think that is only one drum though shown in multiple pictures.
Cheers.

This drum should have traditional rims!

This is LPs next anniversary series, there not available yet , however there kind of nice cause there fashioned out of hickory wood.
Im not a fan of gold hardware but they do look real slick...

Are these new Anniversery drums Salsa shaped or Classics? I like chrome hardware better, but these are sweet.

I am pretty sure shape is the same for both models (Classic & Salsa)the height
is where they differed. Salsa 28" tall and Classic 30" tall.The 50th anniversary
model seem to be full size, 30" tall but we will have to wait until LP post
dimensions and sizes on their website, I have not seen these new drums on
their website yet. They are probably waiting until after the NAMM show later
on this month to officialy announce the new additions to their catalog.

Features on the LP 50th Anniversary drums:

• 30” North American Hickory wood
• 3-ply shell with a fiberglass layer added to the inside upper portion of the shell for additional strength
• Extended Collar Comfort Curve® II Rims
• Premium Galaxy hardware Reinforced LP Heart side plates with rubber gaskets
• Exclusive 50th Anniversary badges Satin finish with gold hardware highlights the natural grain and beauty of Hickory
