Overview
Latin Percussion builds the Generation II bongos as a pair with a strongly contoured shell, which the maker says produces crisp, distinct high tones. Head tension is set with the tuning wrench supplied in the box.
Tone is the reason to buy: the contoured shell is shaped for sharp, cutting highs, and the wrench in the box lets you set head tension yourself. Head material and head sizes go unmentioned, so a player matching a specific sound should confirm those first.
Who it's for
Hand percussionists who tune by ear and want highs that cut through a band. Casual players who never plan to adjust head tension will not use what sets this pair apart.
Pros and cons
- Both drums in one set
- Tuning wrench included
- Contoured shell for crisp high tones
- Long maker warranty on the drums
- Heads not covered by the warranty
- Head size not listed
- No case or stand in the box
Performance notes
The pronounced contour of the shell shapes how the head vibrates, and the maker credits it for the crisp, distinct highs. Head tension, set with the included wrench, then decides pitch and how quickly notes decay, so regular tuning governs how close the drums stay to that bright voice.
