Latin Percussion (LP) is excited to announce the Winter NAMM 2025 preview of the Martin Cohen Signature line, a collection of limited-edition congas and bongos to pay tribute to LP’s original founder.
In a salute to LP’s original congas introduced in the 1970s, the new 28” tall signature fiberglass congas come in traditional quinto, conga, and tumba sizes and feature modern innovations. The drums are outfitted with traditional rims and chrome-plated hardware, along with 5/16” tension rods and LP’s ProCare shell protectors. The congas feature a vintage LP badge, and each comes with a notecard signed by Martin Cohen.
“I am honored that the folks at LP are recognizing me in this way,” says Martin Cohen. “I have been enjoying my endeavors with my Congahead business since selling the company over 20 years ago, but I have always felt attached to the brand. I am amazed at how far the brand has gone to be the world’s leader and appreciate that the current LP team is recognizing my passion and life’s work.”
The congas are limited to 600 drums in mix and match sizes, while 200 matching bongos are set to launch in April 2025. For a preview, visit LP at NAMM in room 202 or at https://www.lpmusic.com/.
