Latin Percussion LP201A-3 Natural/Chrome Bongo Drum

The Generation III bongos, with a shell contour similar to the LP Generation II Bongos, feature a 9-inch head size on the larger half, compared to the more traditional 8-5/8-inch size. This alteration provides increased bottom-end response and greater overall volume. The shells are crafted from Siam Oak, and the bongos are equipped with 7-1/4-inch and 9-inch natural rawhide heads.

The natural finish is complemented by chrome hardware, and the bongos maintain the traditional rims. The tuning lugs have a 5/16-inch diameter, and the drums feature steel backing plates and bottoms.

The Generation III bongos, with their enhanced sound and performance characteristics, build upon the successful design of the previous generation. The larger head size on the larger drum offers a deeper, more powerful low-end tone, while the natural rawhide heads provide a warm, resonant response. The Siam Oak shells contribute to the instrument's overall tonal qualities, delivering a rich and versatile sound.

The natural finish and chrome hardware give the bongos a classic, visually appealing aesthetic, making them a attractive addition to any percussionist's setup. The traditional rims and precise tuning lugs allow for fine-tuning and adjustments, ensuring the bongos can be tailored to the player's specific preferences.

Overall, the Generation III bongos from LP represent a refined and improved iteration of the popular LP Bongos line. With their enhanced bottom-end response, greater volume, and durable construction, these bongos are well-suited for a wide range of musical styles and applications, from traditional Latin rhythms to modern fusion and beyond.
