Traditional rawhide tone
Since the beginning, drums have used animal skins as their heads. Pearl has tapped into that tradition with their genuine buffalo heads. They offer that traditional warm sound and the tight, responsive feeling under your hands. What makes these bongos truly special is the authentic tone and delightful playing experience.
Easy-playing rims are a breeze to tune
When you’re playing hand drums, how the rims feel can make or break your playing experience. Pearl’s Contour Crown rims are exceedingly comfortable on the hands and keep the heads firm and even. Made from polished steel, these rims look great and perform well. The Contour Crown rims come equipped with Pearl’s exclusive Self-aligning Washer System that isolates the tension hooks from the inner walls of the lugs. This allows for easy tuning and greater tuning stability.
