Latin Percussion LP3512 Brazilian Rebolo 12-Inch

The Latin Percussion LP3512 Brazilian Rebolo is a purpose-built percussion instrument created in collaboration with acclaimed percussionist and educator Michael Spiro. Featuring an 18-inch wood shell and a 12-inch dual-layer synthetic naugahyde head, the rebolo occupies the tonal space between a small surdo and a large hand drum, producing deep, warm tones with a controlled attack that sits naturally in samba, pagode, and other Brazilian ensemble contexts. The naugahyde head is specifically chosen for its ability to cut overtones, yielding a cleaner, more defined sound than natural skin while offering improved durability across humidity and temperature changes.

Tuning is handled through a traditional hook system with six tuning lugs, staying true to the instrument's Brazilian roots while providing enough adjustment range to dial in the desired pitch. The integrated strap loops and included adjustable strap make the LP3512 ready for standing performance, street processions, or stage use right out of the box. For percussionists looking to add genuine Brazilian voices to their setup, the LP3512 delivers an accessible entry point backed by Latin Percussion's long-standing reputation in world percussion instruments.
