LP

LP, short for Latin Percussion, is one of the most influential percussion brands in the world, closely associated with Afro-Cuban, Latin, and world music traditions. Founded in the United States, LP has played a major role in bringing congas, bongos, timbales, and hand percussion into mainstream music, from jazz and funk to pop, rock, and contemporary styles.

LP instruments are known for their strong build quality, consistent sound, and stage-ready reliability. Their range covers traditional hand percussion, modern hybrid designs, and a wide selection of auxiliary percussion such as cowbells, shakers, blocks, and effects that integrate easily into a drum kit setup. This makes LP equally popular with dedicated percussionists and drum kit players expanding their sonic palette.

The brand has long worked closely with professional musicians, refining designs that balance tradition with modern performance needs. For players looking for authentic percussion sounds that work reliably in live and studio environments, LP remains a benchmark name in percussion worldwide.

Drums

Drums are the rhythmic backbone of modern music, providing pulse, energy, and structure across countless styles and genres. From acoustic drum kits and marching drums to hand percussion and electronic systems, drums are designed to be played physically and expressively, responding directly to touch, technique, and dynamics.

Acoustic drums are built from shells, heads, and hardware that work together to shape tone, volume, and sustain. Different sizes, materials, and tunings allow drummers to create sounds ranging from deep and powerful to tight and articulate. Electronic drums expand this further by offering volume control, sound variety, and integration with recording and digital music systems.

Drums are used in live performance, recording, education, and practice, making them one of the most versatile instrument families in music. Whether played softly or with force, alone or as part of a full band, drums play a central role in driving rhythm, supporting musicians, and shaping the feel of a piece of music.

Bass Drum

The bass drum is the low-frequency engine of a drum kit, providing the weight and pulse that anchor the rhythm and drive the music forward. Played with a foot pedal, it works closely with the bass line to define groove and timing, with tone shaped by drum size, head choice, tuning, and muffling. From deep, resonant thumps to tight, punchy attack, the bass drum is central to the feel and impact of almost every style of music.

Cowbell

A cowbell adds sharp, cutting rhythmic accents that help define groove and timing within a drum or percussion setup. Its focused, metallic tone cuts through dense mixes, reinforcing patterns, marking transitions, and adding drive and character. Used on its own or mounted to a drum kit, a cowbell provides clear rhythmic punctuation and energy across many styles of music.
