NYC's Palladium Ballroom was the place to be for Latin music and dancing in the 1950s and '60s. Giovanni Hidalgo and LP's latest collaboration, the Latin Percussion LP862Z Giovanni Palladium tumba drum, pays tribute to this hotbed of American Latin music. Its exquisite satin-finished ash shell and real rawhide head provide a period-correct playing experience, while its chrome belly bands give the Palladium tumba a deliciously retro look. You still get the modern advantages of LP's extended-collar Comfort Curve II rim, which helps take the sting out of slaps, and LP's ProCare Shell Protectors, which rid your instrument of accidental dings when played in multiples. LP's Heart side plates complete the package, making the LP Giovanni Palladium tumba an instrument that we knows our percussionist friends will cherish for a lifetime.
