Latin Percussion and world-renowned percussionist Pedrito Martinez have teamed up for the Pedrito Martinez Deep Cut Mango Hand Snare Drum. This signature hand snare features a mango shell that is resonant and beautiful. Its handpicked rawhide head is responsive, producing a warm, up-front tone with snappy snare tone on each strike. Top-tuning Comfort Curve II rims are easy on the hands and keep this hand snare in tune night after night. This hand snare, like all of LP’s percussion instruments, is a favorite here at Sweetwater.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Kiln-dried for quality





The wood used in the Pedro Martinez Deep Cut Mango Hand Snare Drum is kiln-dried. Using kiln-dried wood allows LP to control the wood’s moisture content level during the manufacturing process. Wood, even after it is harvested, expands and contracts. The wood used to manufacture all fine wood instruments, including congas, must have just the right moisture content level to help prevent the instrument from cracking and breaking. Latin Percussion instruments are played by the world’s most demanding players in all seasons and climates in every region of the world. Using kiln-dried wood helps this hand snare stand up to many different environmental and playing conditions.





Play with confidence





All LP-brand batas are fitted with tuning lugs manufactured from specially heat-treated, high-carbon steel and feature precision-cut threads for smooth tuning, strength, and durability. Due to the enormous amount of stress that is required to tune a bata head, the design of the side plate is crucial. During the tuning process, there is enormous tension pulling on the upper part of the side plate. Because of this, LP-brand side plates are wider at the top to distribute the tension from the head and rim over a larger surface area, providing for additional durability.
