Toca Percussion has unveiled the Custom Deluxe Congas and Bongos in Margarita Blanca. Designed for the discerning percussionist, these instruments combine superior craftsmanship with superior sound quality. The new Margarita Blanca color features luminescent shells that shimmer in a translucent white hue, creating a striking visual presence. The congas are further enhanced with sleek black mirror chrome hardware, giving them a modern and sophisticated look. Paired with natural rawhide heads, the Custom Deluxe Congas are crafted from premium 30-inch tall fiberglass shells with an Afro-Cuban shell shape, providing enhanced volume, resonance and tonal warmth.
During the early 90’s, the music scene began to bustle with new trends. A new craze called drum circles began making headlines in the news, around the same time a new Latin sound called “Afro-Cuban” was hitting the pop charts with the Miami Sound Machine’s hit “Conga”. Hand drumming was receiving a great amount of press as more people began to take up hand drumming as a recreational hobby. People wanted to drum for a variety of health and wellness reasons, along with pure enjoyment. All the while, the Latin sound became more popular and mainstream.
KMC Music decided to introduce Toca Percussion as a choice in hand percussion instruments and accessories. Toca was designed and developed to have a different look and provide the “Afro-Cuban” sound. These instruments made Toca unique from brands thus giving players and percussionists an alternative choice when looking for hand percussion instruments.
All Toca wood drums have two-ply stave shells for added durability and are finished in many vibrant color options. Toca Percussion also offers players and drum enthusiasts a wide variety of percussion instruments and accessories that are designed and tested by players.
Today, Toca is proud to be a part of the RBimusic Family and we are still committed to always offering the player a distinctive choice in style, design, and sound. Thank you for your continued support of Toca Percussion and we’re happy to be a part of your musical life no matter what stage you’re at.
