Pearl’s Folkloric bongos feature a traditional look with modern innovation that only Pearl can deliver. Thicker South American style natural skins make the drums warm sounding, but a fiberglass gel coat on the interior seals the shell and adds the projection and volume desired by today's players. The traditional hoops complete these stunning instruments in a matte Crimson Sunrise finish.

The 7 and 8 ½” Oak Bongos have the same hardware and shell features of the congas.  The thicker bongo skins add to the projection and “dry” tone reminiscent of that classic Cuban sound.
