NEW FIESTA DJEMBES FROM GON BOPS ARE BEST-IN-CLASS

With the announcement of 4 new Fiesta Djembes, Gon Bops introduces a whole new level of sound and quality to the student/beginner level Djembe range.

“These are not the most inexpensive djembes at the introductory level,” comments Gon Bops brand specialist Luis Cardoso, “but they offer features that clearly stand out in the entry-level crowd, such as REMO Suede heads and quality Mango wood construction.”

Offered in matching colors to the Gon Bops Fiesta Color Cajon line − Ultra Violet, Lime Crush, Cherry Bomb and White Magic − Fiesta Djembes are crafted from quality Mango wood at dimensions of 10” diameter x 19” height. The REMO white suede heads deliver an extremely wide range of tone that can be easily tuned for pitches from a doumbek to a djembe.

Gon Bops has just announced a deeper Djembe selection for 2019, including a new 10” model in the Mariano line. Like the 12” Mariano Djembe, the new 10” instrument is crafted from Durian wood for extreme lightness and strength, with a compact top ring that’s designed to fit nice and tight to the player’s body. An exceptional high-tuning capability delivers strong bass and high, cutting slaps. The REMO Black Suede head is smooth to the touch and provides excellent warmth and articulation. Extremely light, the 10” Mariano Djembe is a killer sounding, portable instrument that’s ready to go on the road!

New Gon Bops Fiesta bells are crafted from clear-coated raw steel and offer excellent sound and performance at a very smart price. The eye-bolt pull clamp accommodates mounting rods up to 3/8”.

 The Fiesta Cha-Cha (FS053) and Cha-Cha Alto bells (FS043) offer clear, high-pitched tone. Designed to be mounted, they can also be played handheld for desired muted tones.

 The Fiesta Timbale Bell (FS084) is designed to mount on a timbale or drum set. Medium-pitched, it is ideal for playing articulate rhythmic patterns in both percussion and drum sets. 

 The Fiesta Rock bell (FS085) offers dry, low-pitched tone that cuts cleanly through the loudest music, providing maximum versatility for both drumset and percussion set-ups. 

 The Fiesta Agogo bell (FSAG011) offers brightness and pitch for Samba, Salsa or even mainstream music. The tone is clear and bright.
