Meinl Marathon Free Ride Series Wood Bongos - Leopard Burl
The Marathon Designer Series Wood Bongo in Leopard Burl delivers rich, authentic tones from its Siam Oak shells and hand-selected buffalo skin heads. Meinl's Free Ride Suspension System allows the drums to resonate freely for maximum sustain and projection, while black powder coated hardware and 8 mm tuning lugs provide reliable, precise tuning stability. The striking Leopard Burl high gloss finish gives this bongo a bold visual presence on stage or in the studio, making it as eye-catching as it is versatile. Whether you're laying down traditional Latin grooves or adding percussive flavor to contemporary music, this bongo pair offers a warm, full sound with excellent tonal separation between the 6.75" macho and 8" hembra drums.
