Toca Percussion
During the early 90's, the music scene began to bustle with new trends. A new craze called drum circles began making headlines in the news, around the same time a new Latin sound called "Afro Cuban" was hitting the pop charts with the Miami Sound Machine's hit "Conga". Hand drumming was receiving a great amount of press as more people began to take up hand drumming as a recreational hobby. People wanted to drum for a variety of health and wellness reasons, along with pure enjoyment. All the while, the Latin sound became more popular and mainstream. Toca was designed and developed to have a different look and provide the "Afro Cuban" sound. This made Toca different from the dominant brand thus giving new players and percussionists an alternative choice when looking for hand percussion instruments. STYLE, DESIGN, SOUND PERFORMANCE and QUALITY: Toca Percussion is the Natural Choice for Hand Percussion Instruments and Accessories. Designed for players by players.

Fat Congas
From the living room to the studio, these drums are at home in any situation and are ideal for recording or live playing. They project sound very well, protecting your hands from overplaying. For live use, they are easily miked via the sound hole, but while using the Batajon in the studio, I'd recommend placing microphones at either head, and using two mikes for the String Cajon at the sound hole and at the front head. Under the mikes, I was thoroughly impressed with their sonic flexibility and cooperation with other percussion instruments. Overall, these are very impressive drums, meeting the demands of contemporary and traditional percussionists. · Excerpt From Drum Magazine Crashtest 2000 by Russell Nieman
