Cowbell LP LP205 Timbale

A stylish clash and a powerful sound with the Latin Percussion LP205 Timbale.

The LP205 Timbale is one of those percussion pieces that makes a statement from the first play. With a deep, dry sound, this snare drum is designed to set the tone for any percussion setup, naturally fitting into the groove of those looking to add a touch of rhythm. Designed to accompany timbales in Afro-Cuban rhythms, its voice is also heard clearly in many other contexts, whether more traditional or more contemporary.

The LP205's deep sound is the result of careful selection of materials and a rigorous manufacturing process, handcrafted in the United States. Latin Percussion uses high-quality steel and specific tools to shape each snare drum, ensuring tonal consistency and robustness. This 8-inch, mountable hi-hat typically takes the lower position in a pair of timbale hi-hats, providing that essential contrast that adds balance to Latin, Afro-Cuban, funk, rock, and all fusion rhythms where warmer-toned percussion is integral to the sound.

LP equipped this hi-hat with its patented self-aligning eyebolt system, which facilitates mounting on rods with diameters between 3/8" and 1/2", without effort or instability. This feature may seem small, but it makes a big difference in practice, especially for percussionists who frequently transport and set up their equipment. The stability of the mount ensures a consistent sound and a more fluid performance, whether in rehearsal, in the studio, or on stage.

Behind this piece is Latin Percussion, a brand that has specialized in creating high-quality percussion instruments for demanding musicians since the 1960s. LP was born from the desire to fill a gap at a historic moment, but quickly became a benchmark for artists across genres as diverse as salsa, jazz, pop, and experimental music. This heritage lives on in every product, and the LP205 Timbale is a clear example of this dedication to sound, durability, and musical authenticity.

The LP LP205 Timbale is a safe and effective choice for those seeking a defined, deep, and characterful sound in an instrument built to last. It integrates naturally with professional percussion sets and offers complete reliability for those who demand the best from their percussion equipment.

If you need a strong tone, stage-proof construction, and a classic touch with impact, the Latin Percussion LP205 Timbale is a solid ally that will make your rhythm stand out.
