Timbales with warm bronze tone and exceptional projection.
There’s a certain excitement that comes from playing timbales shaped by a true artist’s touch, and the MEINL Patricio “El Chino” Diaz signature bronze timbales capture that spirit the moment you start to play. Developed in collaboration with the renowned Cuban timbalero—known for his deep roots in Afro-Cuban tradition and his commanding presence on international stages—this signature set reflects Diaz’s musical authority and attention to detail. Crafted with 14" and 15" bronze shells, these timbales deliver warm, resonant tone with the projection needed for both traditional and modern Afro-Cuban settings. Clear synthetic heads provide crisp response, while the classic cascara sound remains articulate across dynamic passages. Chrome-plated hardware supports reliable tuning and stage-ready durability, and thoughtful details such as the logo applied beneath the head keep the playing surface smooth. Complete with a professional timbale stand, adjustable cowbell holder, accessory pouch, L-shaped tuning key and tune-up oil, this signature set offers a versatile, performance-ready foundation shaped by an artist who knows exactly how great timbales should feel and sound.
