Pearl Jesus Diaz Signature Congas e Bongos

Progettati per il percussionista che ama suonare seduto, queste Congas in legno di quercia Thai misurano 30″ di altezza e dispongono di un foro da 4″ posizionato in modo strategico sulla parte laterale/inferiore per fornire la massima frequenza dei bassi nonostante il corpo della percussioni rimanga ben saldato e piatto sul pavimento. I tamburi dispongono anche di un nuovo attacco a sgancio rapido progettato per consentire la rimozione del tirante senza rimuovere completamente il dado.
