Overview

The Latin Percussion LP1307 Blast Block in low-pitch green is a percussion accessory designed for situations where volume and presence are non-negotiable. Built from molded plastic, it produces a sharp, cutting attack with an explosive punch that can replace wood blocks, rim shots, or any accent that needs to be heard over a full band. The low-pitch voicing gives it a deeper, fuller tone than its higher-pitched siblings in the Blast Block lineup, making it useful for creating tonal contrasts when multiple blocks are mounted together.

Measuring 8 × 3.6 × 2.5 inches, the LP1307 is compact enough to tuck into a drum kit or Latin percussion rig without crowding other instruments. Its vivid green color doubles as a visual accent on stage. The block mounts on standard percussion hardware, though the clamp or rod is sold separately. Whether used in a drum corps, a live rock set, or a studio session that calls for a percussive exclamation point, the Blast Block is purpose-built to be heard.
