Blocks have an application in almost every genre of music and they come in all shapes and sizes and are made with a variety of materials that produce traditional and unique tones. Pearl offers a full line of blocks to meet the needs of percussionists from beginners to professionals.

The Bobby Allende Signature Fiberglass Bongos are outfitted with Remo Symmetry Fiberskyn heads that are unaffected by temperature and humidity and Low-Rider Crown Rims with a more pronounced downward slope for improved hand comfort.  

Bobby Allende is a mainstay in the New York Latin Music Scene and demands the best from his drums. His signature drums are fiberglass with no seams to inhibit vibration, which allows them to resonate freely for the full, rich sound that Bobby is famous for. The congas are 28 inches tall, fitting the traditional seated player perfectly while adding extra width to the base for added projection and stability. A matching set of bongos is also available.

The Bobby Allende congas and bongos feature Remo Symmetry Fiberskyn heads for tuning stability and Pearl's Low-Rider crowns with a radical sloping edge that practically disappears under your hands for the comfort you have to experience to believe.
