The LP Legend 12 1/2 Tumba Joe Madera is a force to be reckoned with – designed in collaboration with percussion legend Joe Madera. Designed from Siam oak the LP Legend 12 1/2 Tumba Joe Madera quinto provides a wonderfully authentic tone. The 12 1/2 diameter offers a high-pitched tone with shorter resonance that sits perfectly in any percussive mix. The LP Legend 12 1/2 Tumba Joe Madera quinto sounds great when paired with a LP Legend 12 1/2 Tumba Joe Madera conga or when played on its own. The hand-selected natural skin provides an authentic tone and playing feel. This tone is further enhanced by the modified extended comfort curve II rims. These rims also offer added resonance and reliable tuning.
About Joe Madera Jose “Joe” Madera born in New York City played timbales with “Machito” in his teens. He later became Tito Puentes conguero for 30 years and was the musical director of the Tito Puente Orchestra for 10 years. Jose has been staff arranger at Fania Records since the 1970s and has performed on over 100 recordings in Latin Pop R&B and Jazz music. These distinguished congas are finished with a unique pattern using a process developed in the LP factory. While the character of the finish is consistent each drum is a unique piece of art.
