Schlagwerk Wooden Bongo Drums

This Bongo set with its wooden playing surfaces and compact size is the ideal travel companion. It is capable of producing sharp sounds that are unique and different. The warm and full sound is definitely convincing! Due to its unique range of sounds, versatility, and compact, lightweight design, the Wooden Bongo Set can be taken anywhere and used in any musical setting.

The resonance boxes have a natural finish that lets the beauty of the wood show through. This attractively contrasts with the dark veneer on the playing surfaces. The bongo drums can be played by mounting them on a stand, or played in the traditional way, between the knees while sitting. To increase the playing ease of this method, the drums have a special lacquer applied that creates non-slip sides. Additionally, the lightweight design makes holding the bongo drums much easier on the player.

Schlagwerk's Wooden Bongo Set unites new instrument shapes and design with the traditional sound of the bongo. The wooden striking surface reacts as flexibly as a conventional drum skin. The square shape of the bongo drums is very player-friendly, and has a positive influence on the character of the drum's resonance. And, these bongo drums never require tuning and detuning, which is a constant chore for "conventional" bongo drums.

Schlagwerk's attention to detail, skilled craftsmanship, and innovation are reflected in all their products. Their bongo drums are no exception. For more than 25 years, Schlagwerk Percussion has been intensively developing their products, which have gained worldwide recognition. The all-wood instruments enchant us with soft wooden playing surfaces and produce all the nuances of modern percussion sounds, ranging from high, assertive characteristics to voluminous bass sounds.

The Wooden Bongo is a professional, unique, and versatile drum that can be used in many musical settings. This is a very unique drum that would be an excellent addition to any drummer's or percussionist's drum set up.
