About This Item
The LP LP2616-MS 16" Siam Oak Barril de Bomba with Chrome-Plated Hardware is a Latin percussion musical drums instrument constructed from a 2-ply Siam oak barrel-style shell and designed for traditional Puerto Rican instruments used in Bomba music. It features a 16-inch natural rawhide drumhead that supports barril and bombo playing techniques, producing sound characteristics associated with bombas and related percussion styles. The drum includes chrome-plated hardware with 5/16-inch metal tension rods for adjusting head tension, along with a traditional rim and LP heart side plates that form part of the tuning system. Decorative metal bands wrap around the shell, reflecting classic percusión design elements, and the instrument can be used alongside conga, timbales, claves, guiro, djembe drum, or darbuka in acoustic or hybrid setups, including those incorporating electronic systems such as Roland kits. A carrying bag is included to support transport and storage for both adults and learners using the instrument in practice, performance, or educational environments.
