The LP Giovanni Palladium Series 12.5-inch Tumba is part of a high-end conga line developed with the legendary Giovanni Hidalgo. The Palladium series represents LP's top-tier wood shell construction, featuring premium materials and refined hardware that meet the demands of professional touring and recording. The 12.5-inch tumba provides the deep, resonant bass foundation of a complete conga set.

Giovanni's influence is evident in the shell's responsiveness to technique -- the difference between a soft touch and a full stroke, between an open tone and a muted slap, comes through with nuance and clarity. This is an instrument that rewards skill with expression, and grows with you as your playing develops. A serious tool for serious players who want Giovanni Hidalgo's stamp on their sound.
