Hi. I been had a 13" Toca Limited Edition tumba for about 5 years now. Never had any poblems with it. Pretty good quality with heavy duty hardware and comfort rims. The only thing I may change is the finish color I am not too crazy about it, Dark Blue. Love the sound. All in all very comparable to LP Classics or Pearl Elite.

Consider Pearl Elites. Quality as good as LP and others and better priced. Now, they have new models with great designs. Now, they are the congas Ray Barreto among others...are using...Tell us what you get!

i have this model of tumbadoras, and forme the only tumbadora that's better are lp classic & higher, the diference are that you play the toca tumbadoras, and Idon't now, but the sound is different, is better, when you listen it before, and the lp is more generouse in this way, you listen the soun that you listen then. IS THE LP MIRACLE!!!!

hi
the reason i was thinking of purchasing the tocas was because they have a quinto and the price is very cheap.i can also go with a pair of lp classics in the same price range but 3 drums seem nicer than 2.

Hi Trevor Molinos. I see you are from Thailand. Correct me if I'm wrong but is not Thailand where congas and bongos are mass produced by LP, Toca, Pearl, Meinl and others? What kind of prices you have over-there? I would not be surprised at all if they are really expensive in Thailand. How are you guys recovering from the Tsunami? It seems to me the U.S. Navy has really provided invaluable help and assistance in some areas of Thailand. Take Care.....

hi ritmoburicua
i am from the uk but been living in thailand for the last year.yeah lp meinl etc manufacture their drums over here but thailand doesn't have an dealership here so tracking a shop down has taken a while.the high street price here is ajust over half of that in the uk so thinking of getting 3 l.e tocas or a pair of classics.as for the tsunami yeah things seem to be pretty well back to normal though less tourists in the worst hit places.like all disasters life goes on..
