Latin Percussion - LP601D-OX-K Discovery Bongo Set – Black, 6.25 and 7.25 Inch, Includes Bag - Onyx

The Latin Percussion LP601D-OX-K is the Onyx version of the Discovery Series bongo set, and it is the choice for players who want a bongo that makes a statement through restraint rather than color. The deep Onyx black finish paired with black powder-coated hardware creates a unified, all-black visual profile that is simultaneously bold and understated, drawing attention through its clean and focused presence rather than through brightness or novelty. For players who perform in settings where the music rather than the equipment should attract the eye, or who simply prefer the timeless authority of a black instrument, the LP601D-OX-K delivers exactly that aesthetic without any compromise to the underlying quality of the instrument itself. The Discovery Series bongo set is built around LP's exclusive HD Shell construction, a proprietary shell technology developed to give beginning and student players a genuinely durable, responsive, and musical bongo from the very first session. The HD Shell is reinforced at the bearing edge for structural stability under regular playing and tuning, and is designed to be climate-resistant, maintaining tuning stability across a wide range of temperature and humidity conditions that would cause traditional wood shells to change significantly. This climate resilience makes the LP601D-OX-K practical for players who practice in different environments, travel frequently, play outdoors, or live in climates with significant seasonal variation. The 6-1/4-inch macho and 7-1/4-inch hembra drums are both fitted with natural rawhide heads that deliver the warm, organic, and richly textured bongo tone that defines both traditional Cuban and contemporary percussion music. Natural rawhide is the authentic and historically traditional head material for bongos, and it produces a tonal character and playing response that synthetic heads cannot fully match. The EZ Curve rims provide a comfortable playing surface and simplify head replacement when needed. The 9/32-inch tuning lugs provide smooth and reliable tuning action, and traditional Cuban-style bottoms contribute to the open, resonant, and projecting tonal character that distinguishes a properly constructed bongo. The set includes a free carrying bag and a tuning wrench for immediate setup. At $99.99, the LP601D-OX-K offers genuine Latin Percussion construction quality, authentic component specifications, and a finish that is as classic as bongo drums themselves. Backed by Latin Percussion, a brand with over six decades of professional percussion expertise, the LP601D-OX-K is a focused, elegant, and genuinely capable entry into the world of hand percussion.
