Latin Percussion , also known as LP , is a brand of percussioninstrument s, specializing in ethnic instruments engineered and manufactured to withstand the rigors of use in a drum kit , orchestra l Percussioninstrumentpercussion section, and similar applications. This re engineering often involves not only greater and consistent durability, but also changes to the sound to enable the instrument to be played at a suitable volume without losing the distinctive feel of its sound. History LP was founded in New York in 1964 by Martin Cohen, following his difficulty in obtaining instruments for his own use, partly because of restrictions then in place on imports of instruments and everything else from Cuba following the Cuban missile crisis of 1962. Unable to buy conga s, Bongo drum bongos and similar instruments of the quality he saw other performers using, he manufactured his own. After much trial and error he produced acceptable results, and found a ready market for such instruments. As the company expanded, it added imported lines to its catalog, and also became an exporter. Product line LP pioneered the use of many ethnic based instruments for wider musical uses, and continues to be a leading innovator in this area.
