Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

Founded in 1964 by Martin Cohen, LP shaped the sound of Afro-Cuban music, from Latin jazz to pop. The City Series embodies LP's DNA in an accessible and robust version, designed for learning, intensive rehearsals, and musicians seeking LP aesthetics and reliability without the premium series budget.

Who This Instrument Is For

Ideal for beginners to intermediate players, this set suits schools, conservatories, percussion workshops, and amateur or semi-pro groups. It fits naturally into salsa, son, Latin jazz, pop/rock, reggae, or world music, with a compact footprint and quick setup thanks to the double stand.

Features and Innovations

The 2-ply Siam oak shells offer an excellent weight-to-power ratio and high resistance to climate variations. The City EZ Curve hoops enhance hand comfort and stabilize tuning. The 9/32" chrome lugs and LP side plates reinforce long-term reliability. The City double stand improves ergonomics and space optimization, while the matte "Carved Mango" finish provides a modern and refined look.

Sound

Siam oak stands out with precise attack, strong projection, and present lows. With natural heads, you get deep open tones, bright slaps, and controlled sustain-ideal for cutting through the mix without harshness. The 11" shell (quinto) offers clear, incisive accents, while the 12" (conga) delivers fuller lows and a solid rhythmic foundation. The 28" height provides a comfortable sweet spot for dynamic nuances and stable tuning.
