The LP Uptown Tumba is designed to demand your attention in more ways than one. Its siam oak shell is slightly thinner than most adding more cutting top-end presence to its natural sound. A hand-selected natural rawhide skin provides a full-bodied slap sound while the Comfort Curve II hoop is kind on hands - and your tuning. An outer ply of sculpted ash has been added along with an eye-catching ebony stain so complete an outstanding tumba thats a treat for both the eyes and the ears.
