When offering the Tito Puente Timbales, 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). The solid brass shell produces a warmer sound, the stainless steel shell produces a very bright and crisp loud sound, and the bronze shell produces a superior and distinctive cutting cascara sound.
All LP Tito Puente Timbales are sold complete with a heavy duty, fully height adjustable, tilting timbale stand, a cowbell bracket, a pair of timbale sticks, and a tuning wrench. This is a special order item.
