Hey there, sad news...we've shut down shop permanently. So you won't be able to score any drum gear via the website anymore.

LP Founder Martin Cohen, first came across Bat' drums more than 40 years ago at a religious ceremony in the Bronx, New York. Traditionally Bat's are ceremonial drums that are played in groups.At least three people sit, each with a different size drum, and act out 'call and answer' patterns which are played on the drums. Contemporary drummers often use two or three Bat's in a stand on their percussion set-up.
  • Made from our specially selected, kiln dried, environmentally friendly Siam Oak
  • Most precisely made Bat's available today, wrench tuned
  • Available in three sizes: small or Oconcolo with 5" and 6-3⁄4" head sizes, medium or Itolele with 5-3⁄4" and 9" head sizes, and large or Iya with 6-1⁄2" and 12-1⁄2" head sizes
  • Gracefully tapered shell, with increasing thickness to the smallest point, for a great, strong sounding drum
  • Natural rawhide head has been carefully chosen for optimum sound quality
  • Black nylon neck strap, tuning wrench, and LP Lug Lube included
