Latin Percussion LPA256A Aspire Timbales, Smooth White

The Latin Percussion LPA256A Aspire Timbale brings the sharp, cutting sound of traditional timbales within reach of students, hobbyists, and gigging musicians who want quality without a steep investment. Fitted with a 13-inch smooth white synthetic head, the drum produces the bright, projecting tones that define Latin, salsa, and pop percussion. The synthetic head resists changes in humidity and temperature better than natural skin, making it a dependable choice for players who perform in varying environments.

Weighing just 0.5 pounds, the LPA256A is exceptionally easy to mount on a timbale stand and transport between venues or practice spaces. As part of the LP Aspire line, it benefits from Latin Percussion's decades of expertise in designing professional-grade instruments, adapted here for accessibility. While this is a single drum — meaning players will need to source a second timbale, a stand, and any accessories like cowbells or blocks separately — it serves as a solid foundation for building out a full timbale rig at your own pace.
