Whether on stage with Santana or leading his own group, Master Puerto Rican percussionist, Paoli Mejias, ranks among the best in Latin jazz, rock, and salsa. His soulful and energetic play is best heard on one of his signature Balance drums. This Tumba delivers commanding bass, rich mids, and cutting highs. The drum is constructed with Sculpted Ash and is outfitted with natural rawhide heads, Extended Collar Comfort Curve II rims, Premium Galaxy hardware with 3/8" diameter tuning lugs, reinforced LP Heart side plates and LP ProCare Shell Protectors.
