This set of Tito Puente Thunder Timbs has oversized 10" deep shells with 15" and 16" diameter heads. The bronze shell construction produces a superior and distinctive cutting cascara sound (the sound produced when striking the side of the shell). Thanks to the extra shell dimensions the volume is pleasantly boosted, while providing increased response in the lower frequencies.The set comes with a chrome plated, heavy-duty steel stand. The stand has a die-cast geared tilter that locks in tight. It is height adjustable, and also has an anti-rattle sleeve. It comes complete with an adjustable cowbell holder made from welded steel and features LP's superior eye-bolt assembly.When Latin Percussion, Inc. was founded in the 1960s, timbales were only heard in Latin music. Today all genres of music have embraced this versatile percussion instrument. LP's experience in building timbales has resulted in a distinctive, modern shell, that uses a ribbed design with both top and bottom edges turned in to create a livelier, more cutting cascara.

LP Prestige Timbales represent nothing less than a thorough reexamination of the single-headed timbal/timbale concept. LP has completely overhauled materials, hoops, tuning mechanisms, mounting stability, and a myriad of factors affecting the marriage of stick-to-drum. Consequently, the shells resonate with authentic cascaras, while LP Prestige Timbale heads yield muted and open tones that rouse a band. Improved rims and rim seating make for rimshots that are easier to play and that project ambient exclamations without harsh clang.LP Prestige Timbales feature top-facing key-adjustable tuning rods for rapid pitch tweaks. LP designers have shifted the position of the shell rib to open up more sticking space and foster brighter cascara tones. Low-mass side plates further free up shell response. When sticks strike heads, there is no choking only the liberation of pleasing overtones. Sustain heightens and the whole drum reacts as one. If that weren't enough, the center block (between pairs of timbales) has been revamped to minimize distracting shell movement and it contains a handy tuning key holder. The clamping screw has been recessed, lessening the possibility of collision and, amazingly, reducing torque.
