Since the inception of Pearl Percussion’s Elite Series of Congas and Bongos, the drums have been offered with 100% aged Thai Oak or Fiberglass shells. Now the Elite Series offers a combination of the two shell materials blended together. The Elite Series Wood-Fiber shells deliver the best of both worlds; the superior cut and projection of Fiberglass, warmed by the rich Thai Oak outer shell. Matching bongos are also available but sold separately. The Elite Series Wood-Fiber drums feature premium natural skin heads, polished Contour Crown rims and Pearl’s exclusive Self-Aligning Washer System that isolates the tension hooks from the inner walls of the lugs for greater tuning ease.

Pearl’s ever popular Primero Pro Bongos are designed with professional features and even include the same Contour Crown rims found on Pearl's Elite Series bongos. Contour Crown rims feel softer under your hands due to their curved shape. Primero Pro Bongos deliver profession features at an affordable price and are available in your choice of Thai Oak or fiberglass shells.
