Vibra Slap LP LP208X III Jenigor

The Vibra Slap LP208X III brings an original and striking sound to your percussion.

Whether in soundtracks, studio recordings, or iconic commercials, the vibra slap is a percussion effect that has left its mark on countless musical moments over the past six decades. Created by Latin Percussion, this was the brand’s first patented instrument and continues to impress with its mechanical simplicity and powerful sonic impact.

The LP208X III features a modern construction based on Jenigor—a material developed by LP itself, known for its durability and precise sonic response. This compound has been used in jam blocks for years, proving its resilience even in the most demanding settings. For this new version, LP went further by integrating an additional platform—the "Strike Zone"—which allows the instrument to be played with a drumstick when mounted on an LP444N stand. This evolution unlocks new performance possibilities and fits seamlessly into modern percussion setups, where versatility is key.

The characteristic sound of this vibra slap remains sharp, dry, and full of vibration, with a distinct metallic resonance. When played—whether by hand or with a stick—the impact transfers to the resonance chamber, creating an unmistakable effect that cuts through the mix and adds a distinctive touch to any track. Its instant response and unique sonic character have made the vibra slap one of the most widely used percussion effects in history, favored by both musicians and producers seeking expressive, unconventional textures.

Behind this instrument lies the history of Latin Percussion itself. Founded in the 1960s in the United States by Martin Cohen, LP emerged at a time when Cuban percussion instruments were nearly inaccessible in the country due to the trade embargo. The brand initially catered to Latin Jazz musicians, but its reach quickly expanded. Today, LP is a global leader in percussion manufacturing, trusted by discerning musicians worldwide, regardless of genre.

The combination of durable materials, functional design, and an instantly recognizable sound makes the Vibra Slap LP208X III a valuable addition to any percussion setup. It works equally well for live performances and studio recordings, adding that unexpected detail that turns a simple beat into a memorable passage.

If you’re looking for an iconic sound effect, built with superior craftsmanship and decades of stage and studio presence, the Vibra Slap LP208X III Jenigor is ready to take its place in your set.

Latin Percussion is an American brand, which emerged in the 1960s to fill the lack of Cuban percussion instruments in the United States, due to the commercial embargo imposed by Washington to Cuba.
Latin Percussion instruments started to set the pace in Latin Jazz bands at the time, but were quickly used by musicians in a variety of styles, today being one of the most prestigious percussion instrument brands in the industry, used by some of the most popular musicians in recent decades.
