Latin Percussion developed this snare drum to meet the sonic and rigorous quality demands of Banda musicians but the 8 1/2" x 14" snare is equally at home in Salsa, Timba, as well as Rock and Pop music. Constructed of the same stainless steel used in LP Timbales with extruded aluminum lugs the snare is cutting, full and robust and the perfect compliment to any timbale set up.
