 Listen to any of the classic, quintessential salsa recordings of Hector Lavoe,
Willie Colon, The Fania All Stars, Ruben Blades, and countless others and you
will hear the unmistakable tumbao of the great conguero Eddie
Montalvo. Eddie
is a main inspiration to today's players by way of his numerous, historic recordings
with the giants of salsa.
It is only fitting that LP honors Eddie
Montalvo with the introduction of
the LP Accents Eddie Montalvo Signature Congas and Bongos. Finished in exclusive
signature series graphics, the three Accents Montalvo drums and matching bongos
are constructed from Siam oak, laid up in durable, resonant 3-ply shells.
Available
in quinto, conga and tumba sizes, the drums stand 30” tall and are fitted
with hand-selected natural rawhide skins that provide the drums with the range
of deep tones and crisp slaps inherent in Eddie's technique. Comfort Curve
II Rims ease player hand trauma and promote a natural feel. Reinforced LP Side
Plates contribute to durability, while LP ProCare Integrated Shell Protectors
prevent those side plates from damaging adjacent drums!
Based on the popular LP
Classic Wood Congas and Generation
II Bongos,
the Eddie Montalvo signature drums are beautiful to behold-a striking mix of
chrome hardware against a richly detailed shell.
