Featuring a matched pair of 14″ and 15″ diameter drums, these timbales deliver the bright, cutting projection required for salsa, mambo, and other Latin genres. While they feature a striking brass-colored finish for a classic aesthetic, the shells are constructed from durable stainless steel to ensure long-term reliability and a crisp, resonant attack.
