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 Corporation announces a series of signature congas and bongos from artist Jesus Diaz. The Cuban born Diaz is one of the most in demand percussionists and vocalists on the scene today. His active schedule inspired the feature set for his new signature series. The 7” and 8.5” bongos deliver cutting clarity and feature the same Quick Release lug design. The Quinto, Conga, Tumba and Bongos are finished in a matte lacquer titled Brushed Platinum #580 and feature natural buffalo skin heads.

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. If you demand excellence like Bobby, check out his Signature Fiberglass Congas and Bongos.

The stand folds compactly for easy transport and features a quick-release strap to hold your conga or djembe securely whole playing.

The Quick Release Double Stand gets it name for the quick mounting mechanism that allows drums to be mounted in seconds. The Pearl PC-300W Quick Release Double Conga Stand is a lighter weight version of the PC-3000TW. The PC-300W is Pearl's lightest double conga stand designed for percussionists who like to play in a standing position and are concerned about the weight of their gear. The mounting bracket on your Pearl congas rest on the pins at the top of the stand and the weight of the drums holding them in place. The wide, double braced tripod base provides a solid foundation without taking up too much room on stage.
