Meinl Percussion MB400BKMB RAPC (Radial 5 Ply Construction) Wooden Bongos 6 3/4-Inch and 8-Inch, High Gloss Black Maple Burst

RAPC (Radial Ply Construction) was adopted from traditional drum-set shell building techniques. It uses several thin layers of wood being formed together to make a super strong shell that is lighter and more resonant. Add to that Meinl's patented Free Ride System that allows the bongos to be joined with NO HOLES DRILLED IN THE SHELLS and you have some serious bongo innovation.

• Meinl Radial Ply wood bongos — fit for any touring or recording musician, along with serious hobbyists, Meinl Radial Ply bongos deliver a professional sound and feel with an innovative approach to shell construction that reimagines how bongos are made
• Radial Ply shells (black maple burst finish, gloss) — Radial Ply shells were adopted from traditional drum set shell building techniques — this construction method uses several thin layers of wood formed together to make a super strong shell that is lightweight and resonant
• True Skin cow skin heads for a classic, warm sound — outfitted with Meinl True Skin cow heads, their response leans toward more warmth and depth along with superb mid-range tone and an outstanding feel — the heads measure 6 ¾” and 8”
• Meinl Free Ride Suspension System — the two individual drums are attached with the Meinl Free Ride Suspension system, a patented design that avoids holes being drilled into the shells — this allows for greater resonance and works with any bongo stand
• Rounded rims (chrome plated steel) — 2 mm Meinl SSR rounded rims sit lower than traditional bongo rims and feature a rounded edge for comfort and control — this design helps avoid harsh or unwanted contact with the rim as you play with your hands
