Bobby Allende
Bobby Allende is a mainstay in the New York Latin Music Scene and he demands the best from his drums, that's why he plays Pearl. His Signature drums are fiberglass with no seams to inhibit vibration which allow the drums to vibrate 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.
The Bobby Allende congas and bongos feature Remo Fiberskyn 3 heads for tuning stability and Pearl's Low-Rider crowns with a radical sloping edge that practically disappears under your hands for comfort you have to experience to believe.
If you demand excellence like Bobby, check out his Signature Fiberglass Congas and Bongos, available in three gorgeous finishes: Cafe con Leche, Brisa Tropical and Solar Sparkle.

Folkloric
Pearl’s Folkloric bongos feature a traditional look with modern innovation that only Pearl can deliver. Thicker South American style natural skins make the drums warm sounding, but a fiberglass gel coat on the interior seals the shell and adds the projection and volume desired by today's players. The traditional hoops complete these stunning instruments in a matte Crimson Sunrise finish. The 7 and 8 ½” Oak Bongos have the same hardware and shell features of the congas. The thicker bongo skins add to the projection and “dry” tone reminiscent of that classic Cuban sound.
