The Vic Firth El Palo is Alex Acua’s bigger timbale stickthicker and slightly longer than his Conquistador model at 16-1/8″ with a .500″ diameter. The added mass produces a bolder, more full-bodied timbale sound with greater projection, while the untapered hickory construction maintains the fast, even response that Latin percussion requires.
If you need more volume and presence from your timbaleswhether in a large salsa ensemble, a Latin jazz big band, or an amplified live settingthe El Palo delivers without sacrificing the quickness and articulation that define great timbale playing. Designed by one of the genre’s most respected voices. Sold as a pair in hickory.
