Some information about the range of Natal Drums:
Fuego Series
If you're starting out along the percussion path then the Fuego range of Bongos, Congas and Conguitas from Natal is the ideal first step.
Built from Siam Oak and featuring chrome plated 'Comfort Hoop' rims and hardware, plus natural hide heads. The finishes available in the Fuego series are Honey or Natural matt, plus Black or Red gloss options.
Spirit Series
Designed in the UK and manufactured at our Thailand factory, the Spirit series features Congas, Bongos and Timbales. All instruments are subject to stringent quality control and crafted from environmentally responsible timbre sources.
Available in Quinto 10", Conga 11" and Tumba 12" all Spirit Congas are designed to offer amazing bottom-end tone with maximum sound projection. Made with Siam Oak shells, steel 'Comfort Hoop' rims, heavy duty tuning bolts, natural hide heads and also includes a fully adjustable Spirit basket stand as standard.
The Spirit Bongos utilise the same high quality materials and feature a re-designed centre block for additional resonance. The specially designed, heavy duty Spirit Bongo stand is the perfect accessory as it is both height and tilt adjustable.
The Spirit series also features 10" + 12", 12" + 13" and 13" + 14" Timbales sets. Fitted with Aquarian heads, either nickel, bronze, copper or brass hammer-finished shells, heavy duty rims and tuning bolts, these drums create that authentic 'latin' sound and allow for high tension tuning. The Spirit Timbales sets are supplied with a fully adjustable and heavy duty stand which also includes a cow-bell mounting post.
Fusion Series
The Fusion range is the culmination of years of experience and modern construction techniques combined with the tonal qualities of traditional Afro-Cuban percussion materials. This series offers Tumbas, Congas, Quintos and of course Bongos, all with shells expertly crafted from premium Ash wood, delivering a warmer, more traditional sound
Hand made natural hide heads, steel "Comfort Hoop" rims and heavy duty tuning bolts come as standard. The Fusion series Bongos also feature natural hide heads, full-length steel tuning bolts and have been designed to compliment the rest of the Fusion range perfectly. As usual, a whole host of finish options are available.
The Classic Series
Natal's Classic series revisits the original fibreglass designs that made the company hugely popular in the '60s and '70s. Legendary groups such as Santana, The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin could regularly been seen on stage using Natal percussion, favoured for their superior volume, unique style and great sound.
So faithful is the process of re-creating the Tumbas, Congas, Quintos and Bongos of the Classic series that it even involves using the original shell moulds – now that's authenticity for you. All models come complete with steel "Comfort Hoop" rims, heavy duty tuning bolts and hand lapped heads.
The Classic series Bongos also feature natural hide heads, full-length tuning steel bolts and have been designed to compliment the Congas perfectly. A specially designed Classic series Bongo stand is also available as are a range of colours. The Classic series also features a collection of special edition "Splatter" finished 11" + 12" Conga sets, based on those revered '60s originals.
The Cubana Series

Hand built in the UK, at the home of Marshall Amplification no less, these renowned Congas and Bongos have been providing musicians with world-class percussion for over 35 years.
Still made to the same proven design using the original 1960s shell moulds, this range of fibreglass Congas features the UK made Aluminium "Comfort Hoop" rim, heavy duty tuning bolts and natural hide heads as standard. The Cubana Bongos take advantage of the same high-grade materials and precision craftsmanship, with full-length tuning bolts creating a robust and uniquely voiced instrument.
