Brand
Latin Percussion, often known as LP, is one of the most influential percussion brands in the world and a defining name in Afro-Cuban, Latin, and world percussion. Founded in the United States, the brand played a major role in bringing instruments such as congas, bongos, timbales, and cowbells into mainstream popular music, from jazz and funk through to rock, pop, and contemporary styles.
Latin Percussion instruments are known for their strong build quality, consistent tone, and stage-ready reliability. Their range covers traditional hand percussion alongside modern designs, as well as a wide selection of auxiliary percussion that integrates easily into a drum kit setup. This makes LP equally popular with dedicated percussionists and drummers looking to expand their sound beyond the standard kit.
The brand has a long history of working closely with professional musicians, refining instruments that balance tradition with modern performance needs. For players seeking authentic percussion sounds that work reliably in live and studio environments, Latin Percussion remains a benchmark name worldwide.

Cymbals add accents, timekeeping, colour and dynamics to a drum setup. This category includes hi-hats, rides, crashes, splashes, Chinas and packs, each with different sizes, weights, profiles, alloys, hammering and finishes. Compare stick definition, wash, sustain, response, volume and how the cymbal will blend with the kit and musical style. A cymbal’s sound also depends on mounting and playing technique. Check the exact type and diameter, and remember that cymbal stands, bags and felts may need to be purchased separately.
