Meinl Kachiro Thompson Bongo 7 & 8 1/2 Inch - Blue Wave

Sweetwater drummers knew the late Puerto Rican percussionist William "Kachiro" Thompson as one of the top session and performing percussionists worldwide. Kachiro’s demand for top-tier instruments that both looked incredible while enhancing every playing subtlety was incredibly high — that’s where Meinl Percussion’s Artist series comes in! This William "Kachiro" Thompson signature bongo drum set is crafted from beautiful New Zealand pine, delivering an outstanding organic tone that’s just as clear and articulate as it is full and resonant. Its playing feel exudes an organic energy, too, thanks to a strong and snappy black calfskin Skyndeep head from Remo. The Kachiro's signature also knocks it out of the park with its phenomenal chrome-plated hardware, donning 3mm rounded SSR rims, ultra-tough 8mm tuning lugs, and Meinl's Free Ride suspension system. Last but not least, an included accessory pouch carries a tuning key and tune-up oil to always keep you sounding your best, from small studios to the big stage.
