What the Tony Succar Series Includes
The Tony Succar Series is a comprehensive range of percussion instruments that combine visual flair with versatile performance. At its core are the Quinto, Conga, and Tumba congas, which are built with New Zealand pine stave shells to produce a bright, open, and punchy tone that is suitable for both live performances and studio recordings. Each drum is finished with a distinctive rainbow aesthetic and black nickel hardware for a bold, contemporary look.
The lineup of the new Tony Succar Collection is completed by timbales and timbalitos based on LP’s popular Tito Puente series. These feature rainbow chrome-plated steel shells as well.

There are also limited-edition cherry wood congas and bongos that showcase premium materials and finishes.
