Mainly they are selling LP's, Meinl, Matador drums, percussion accesories,(conga-bongo hooks, cowbells, maracas, etc.), and panderos de Plena by some of the best pandero artisans on the island, but unfortunately no "Timbas Ismael" drums. :(

thanks for checking for Timbas Jorge...by the way i heard of another cat in PR, who makes bata, conga, panderetas, etc...
i think he goes be Del Valle, heard of him?

Anytime Ralph,

Yes, I have heard of Papo del Valle. I understand he makes excellent panderos and barriles. Haven't seen or play his timbas nor his batá. Raymond?

Saludos,

Jorge Ginorio
