Featuring a 15″ and 16″ pairing, this set provides the essential tonal range and biting cascara sound that defined Tito Puente’s legendary career.

Use Cases
These timbales are ideal for professional Latin ensembles, salsa orchestras, and jazz percussionists who require a high-decibel, cutting sound that can pierce through a loud horn section. They are equally suited for studio recording where a bright, defined attack is needed for rhythmic precision, and for educational settings where students wish to study the authentic techniques of the Tito Puente style.
Installation
Setup is straightforward and designed for rapid deployment on stage. The included heavy-duty adjustable stand provides a stable foundation for both drums. Once the shells are mounted, use the provided tuning wrench to achieve your desired pitch. The integrated cowbell bracket allows for the quick attachment of your preferred cowbells or jam blocks to keep all essential rhythmic tools within reach.
Compatibility
This set is compatible with standard percussion accessories. The included bracket is designed to hold most professional-grade cowbells and jam blocks (sold separately). The adjustable stand is compatible with standard stage footprints and provides the flexibility to position the drums for optimal ergonomic reach.
