Custom Deluxe wood tumbas from Toca Percussion take everything percussionists love about the build and playability of traditional tumbas and treat them to the commanding visuals of contemporary design. To start with, the 30-inch shell of this tumba is constructed from Asian oak wood and shaped to the Afro-Cuban standard, promising a robust organic tone that’s powerful and projective enough to thrive in a multitude of professional settings. Fitted with a premier bison skin head, the finger and palm response of its striking surface plays with an impressive natural snap and authenticity. Its polished chrome hardware set includes a wide-range 6-lug setup with an accompanying EasyPlay hoop, delivering a versatile and stable means for rhythmizing in total comfort for as long as the music requires. As for its unique color, this Custom Deluxe wood tumba channels the glorious clear-coated matte blue finish of a modern sports car, highlighting elements of purple and red when caught in the right light. Ask any percussionist here at Sweetwater, and they’ll confirm that the Custom Deluxe wood tumba scores a perfect 10 in both performance and curb appeal!
