With classic Cuban chrome hardware, the Gon Bops Mariano Super Tumba offers that authentic vintage sound of natural cowhide heads on select light hardwood − from big, beefy open tones to crisp slaps and solid palm tone. Since 1954, Gon Bops has been crafting the finest Latin instruments in the world. Named after founder Mariano Bobadilla, Gon Bops Mariano Congas continue that tradition of authentic Cuban look and sound. Designed with genuine calfskin heads, select lightweight Durian wood and traditional hardware, these wonderful drums offer full-bodied authentic sound – from big, resonant open tone to crisp slaps and solid bass strokes.
