Meinl Kachiro Thompson Pinewood Tumba 12.5 Inch - Blue Wave

Meinl Kachiro Thompson Pinewood Tumba 12.5 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 tumba drum 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 4mm rounded SSR rims and ultra-tough 10mm tuning lugs with Meinl’s acclaimed and protective Conga Savers. The built-in handle makes it easy to position and load in and out of performance spaces as well. Last but not least, an included accessory pouch carries Meinl Soundpads, a tuning key, and tune-up oil to always keep you sounding your best, from small studios to the big stage.
