Built for precision, control and unmistakable Latin feel, the LP Pedrito steel timbales reflect the musical voice of master percussionist Pedro “Pedrito” Martinez. Pedrito is a Grammy–winning artist, composer and bandleader widely recognized for his work bridging Afro-Cuban traditions with modern jazz, salsa and contemporary Latin music. His highly technical yet deeply expressive playing style informs every detail of this signature set.
Traditional Construction With Modern Playability
Designed to support fast, articulate playing, these timbales feature Dark Mocha–finished steel shells that deliver a classic, musical tone with brighter projection. A top-tuning system allows for quick, on-the-fly adjustments, while recessed clamping screws stay below the playing surface for comfort and consistency. Enhanced rim and rib placement support crisp rim shots and cascara patterns, making this set well suited for both live performance and studio applications.
