About Gon Bops Mariano Bongo

The iconic Mariano Bongo drums make a triumphant return, reimagined for the modern percussionist while honoring the timeless craftsmanship of Gon Bops founder, Mariano Bobadilla. These exquisite instruments boast a natural lacquer finish that highlights the beauty of their Durian wood construction, known for its exceptional durability and resonant qualities.

Each bongo set features a pair of meticulously sized 7" and 8.5" drums, providing the classic high and low tonal contrast that bongo players cherish. The shells are crowned with traditional counter hoops, which not only enhance the vintage aesthetic but also contribute to the authentic sound profile.

The natural hide heads selected for these bongos are a testament to Gon Bops' commitment to traditional materials, ensuring a warm, rich tone that matures with play. These heads are responsive and durable, offering both beginners and seasoned professionals a superior playing experience.

In a nod to innovation, the Mariano Bongo drums incorporate a traditional welded bottom ring design. This thoughtful feature eliminates the need for cup washers, thereby expanding the tuning range and simplifying the tuning process. The result is a set of bongos that stay true to their roots while delivering enhanced playability and tuning stability.

Whether you're performing on stage, recording in the studio, or practicing at home, the 7" and 8.5" Mariano Bongo set in Natural Lacquer is an exceptional choice for percussionists seeking a blend of classic design and contemporary functionality.
