Returns Simplified.Inspired by the trailblazing artistry of Carlos “Patato” Valdez, the LP Patato Model Congas pay tribute to one of the most influential figures in Latin percussion. Patatos innovative multi-conga technique and melodic approach to rhythm forever changed the way congas are playedand these drums are a direct result of his creative vision.
Developed in collaboration with Patato himself, the design of these congas was born from a 1978 recording session at Martin Cohens home studio, where Patato expressed the need for drums that offered both deep bass projection and cutting, crisp highs. The result: a 30″ tall fiberglass drum with a wide belly and narrow bottom, perfectly sculpted for power, tone, and versatility.
30″ tall fiberglass shell designed to deliver strong bass tones and high-end clarity
Shaped identical to LP Galaxy Fiberglass Congas, offering excellent projection and full tonal range
LP Comfort Curve II Rims for ergonomic playing and reduced hand fatigue
5/16″ tuning lugs and reinforced LP Heart side plates for solid tuning and hardware durability
Natural rawhide heads, hand-selected for premium tone and authentic response
Includes tuning wrench, LP Lug Lube, and accessory pouch
These congas are a favorite among professional percussionists worldwide for their balanced tone, volume, and feel. Whether on stage or in the studio, they respond beautifully to every nuance of your playing, just as Patato intended.
The LP Patato Model Congas arent just drumstheyre part of Latin music history, continuing the legacy of a true innovator. If you want expressive sound, iconic design, and road-ready reliability, this is the conga that delivers it all.
