Meinl MSA11AWA Mongo Santamaria 11-inch quinto

General

The legendary Ramon 'Mongo' Santamaria was one of the most respected conga players in the world. With his band Black Cuban Diamonds, he laid the foundation for modern latin-jazz music. Songs like Watermelon Man and the album Summertime are just a few examples of this grand master's legacy. Santamaria died in Miami at 85 years of age, but his spirit lives on in Meinl's MSA11AWA Artist series quinto.

MSA11AWA 11-inch quinto

This 11-inch MSA11AWA quinto's drumhead is made of high-quality buffalo hide. Combined with the two-ply American white ash shell, that creates a beautifully rich sound with warm overtones. The hardware features a gorgeous gold-coloured finish, giving the instrument a highly elegant look, while the 30-inch-high shell has a beautiful, glossy natural finish. Top-quality by Meinl!
