In addition, I once had LP´s brass Timbalitos which were very nice instruments.
But unfortunately I did not play them enough in the end, and so they went.
El Rey used Timbalitos in a four-drum setup often, but I reckon those mambo days
are over. Surely Tito Puente´s legacy is still there though.
Tarolas? Dont know anything from first-hand experience, so I cannot tell much there.
All in all I must say I do not care about shiny new timbales sets,
and my vintage Afro model is really giving me everything I ever felt I needed.
Now I hope I fulfilled my duties as a poster here
