LP Patato Model 11" Quinto, White (LP522X-1WH)

The LP Patato Model 11" Quinto is a tribute to the legendary conguero, Carlos "Patato" Valdez, whose innovative "melodic" approach to conga playing reshaped the landscape of Latin percussion. Developed in collaboration with Patato himself, this conga was designed to meet his specific performance needs and has since become a standard for professional percussionists worldwide.

Features:

• Signature Patato Design: Patato’s innovative design features a tall drum with a wide belly and narrow bottom, resulting in a drum that projects deep bass tones and great volume while maintaining crisp, articulate highs.
• Fiberglass Construction: The fiberglass shell, reinforced with a steel ring at the top edge, ensures strength, stability, and a superior sound that can withstand the rigors of live performances and studio recordings.
• Chrome Comfort Curve II Rims: These rims provide increased comfort and durability, facilitating smooth playability during extended sessions.
• 5/16" Diameter Tuning Lugs: Strong, reliable tuning lugs allow for precise tension adjustments to achieve your desired pitch and tone.
• Reinforced LP Heart Side Plates: These side plates enhance the drum's structural integrity, ensuring consistent performance and a durable lifespan.
• Natural Rawhide Head: Hand-selected rawhide provides the traditional feel and tonal quality that is essential to achieving authentic conga sounds.
• LP ProCare Integrated Shell Protectors: These protectors prevent side plate hardware from marking or damaging adjacent drums, ensuring the longevity of your entire percussion setup.
• Includes Accessories: Comes with an accessory pouch, tuning wrench, and LP Lug Lube for easy maintenance and convenience.

Whether you're performing on stage or recording in the studio, the LP Patato Model 11" Quinto delivers exceptional tonal quality, projection, and durability, making it the ideal choice for serious percussionists and enthusiasts alike.
