About This Item
The Latin Percussion LP160NY-K is a carefully assembled percussion pack that combines two of Latin Percussion's most popular and widely respected drum set accessories into a single, complete, and ready-to-play kit. The pack includes the LP Cyclops tambourine, the LP City Series 5-inch cowbell, and a Gibraltar SC-AM1 mounting bracket that clamps to any standard cymbal stand, giving drummers and percussionists everything they need to immediately expand their rhythmic vocabulary and add authentic Latin percussion voices to their existing setup without having to research, source, and purchase each component individually from separate suppliers. For any drummer who has been considering adding a tambourine or a cowbell to their kit, the LP160NY-K removes every barrier to getting started by delivering both instruments and the mounting hardware in a single, thoughtfully curated box at a price that reflects the genuine combined value of two professional-grade accessories that are individually among Latin Percussion's bestselling drum set products worldwide. The LP Cyclops tambourine included in this pack is one of the most recognized and trusted mountable tambourines in drum set percussion, and its presence here is a central reason why the LP160NY-K has earned consistent praise and strong recommendations from drummers across all levels of playing experience and musical background. The Cyclops frame is constructed from durable high-impact plastic specifically engineered to withstand the physical realities of active drumming, including the direct and repeated drumstick hits that would quickly damage or destroy lesser tambourine frames not built with this demanding application in mind. The rounded edges of the Cyclops design are a deliberate and ergonomically informed feature that provides extra protection and durability at the precise points where drumsticks make the most frequent and forceful contact during play, significantly extending the usable life of the tambourine under the same demanding drumming conditions that would quickly wear down a standard frame. The two rows of seven pairs of nickel-plated steel alloy jingles produce a bright, projecting, and musically assertive tone that cuts through even a dense drum kit mix with clarity and presence, adding shimmer and rhythmic texture to every beat that sits naturally in the overall sonic picture without being overwhelmed by the energy of the surrounding instrumentation. The Cyclops tambourine is equally responsive to both hand playing and drumstick hits, making it one of the most versatile mountable tambourines available for drummers who want genuine flexibility in how they trigger the instrument during live performance. The LP City Series 5-inch cowbell contributes a completely different and highly complementary sonic character to the LP160NY-K pack. Handcrafted in the USA, the City cowbell produces a dry, crisp, and immediately recognizable tone that has made it a consistent first choice for drummers who want a cowbell sound that is tight, punchy, and physically responsive rather than loose or resonant. The 5-inch size is well suited to the widest possible range of musical genres, from Latin music and salsa to rock, funk, hip-hop, gospel, and pop, sitting naturally in the tonal range where the cowbell adds genuine rhythmic presence without overpowering the mix or competing with the rest of the kit. The handcrafted USA construction gives the City cowbell a tonal consistency and physical character that mass-produced alternatives in the same price range regularly fail to match, and it is this quality that has kept the City Series among the most recommended cowbells for drum set use across decades of professional performance. The Gibraltar SC-AM1 mount included in the LP160NY-K is a professional-grade clamping bracket that securely holds both instruments on any standard cymbal stand. Fully adjustable and built for reliable use under sustained drumming demands, the mount allows the drummer to position both instruments at the exact angle and height that suits their playing style and kit layout without loosening or shifting mid-set. The cymbal stand is sold separately and is not included in this pack. Backed by Latin Percussion, a brand with over half a century of expertise crafting professional percussion for musicians worldwide, the LP160NY-K delivers two iconic percussion voices and the professional hardware to mount them exactly where they belong.
