Nick D’Virgilio presents two cajons by Latin Percussion: the Matador Quinto Cajon, and the Matador Tumba Cajon. LP’s proud tradition in conga making extends to its LP Matador series cajons. Their uniquely round shell is made of stave-constructed mango wood for depth and resonance more akin to a traditional drum. The poplar soundboard is fatter in the middle and tapered up top for better separation of bass and slap tones. And the rounded top corners provide a comfortable seat to drape your legs over – sort of like a natural drum throne.
