Latin Percussion Uptown Series Bongos - Sculpted Ash Reviews

7-1/4" and 8-5/8" Bongo Drums with Sculpted Ash Shells, Comfort Curve II Rims, and Rawhide Heads- Ebony Stain

In the market for a great-playing set of bongos with professional looks and voice to match? Then look no further than the LP Percussion Upscale series. The LP Upscale bongos sport textured, sculpted ash shells with a sumptuous ebony stain that you'll be proud to make the centerpiece of your pro setup. The ash shells' cutting, dry tone is perfectly complemented by a set of handpicked rawhide heads, giving the LP Uptown bongos the authentic response of a traditional percussion instrument with the luxuries of modern shell construction. A welcomed addition to the Uptown bongos are the Comfort Curve II rims, which reduce palm stress for traditional players while still delivering taut, even tension across the skin.

Beautiful, well-constructed, and have great tone

By Mike from Lexington, KY
Music Background: Multi-instrumental hobbyist

Up to now I'd only had my Dad's bongos to play, and they are essentially a toy from the 60s. Recently I was toying with them again and decided to finally try "real" bongos. I found myself ratcheting my budget up as I researched, watched YouTube videos, etc. I came to believe that LP is a top brand, and this set is a great combination of cost and quality considering the whole market, so I took the plunge.

Well, I won the lottery. These bongos have a real quality feel and look. Once tuned, they sound amazing and are really inspiring to play, even at my crappy skill level. The heads are beautiful, and the ash wood construction (which I was initially unsure of) is really gorgeous. Hell, I figure I'll eventually end up with the congas from the same ash material!

In short, they just look, feel, and sound amazing and I can't recommend them strongly enough for a beginner to mid-level player/hobbyist. Go for it!
