new product of the day: "MITSUDOMOE" FREE RIDE DESIGNER SERIES WOOD BONGO

09 Apr 2010

This Free Ride Designer Series Bongo matches Taku Hirano´s playing style: elegant, captivating and versatile.
The bongo is proudly emblazoned with the Japanese Mitsudomoe symbol, representing Man, Earth, and Heaven. The symbol became associated with the Samuri ethos, and with the art of drumming itself.

Taku explains, "The Mitsudomoe symbol has always resounded with me in that it was a link to my heritage and synonymous to not only the warrios of Japan, but also the drummers of Japan. After doing research and finding out that it was adopted by a king with the same name as myself, and that it symbolized upholding honor to the highest degree, I knew that it chose me as much as I chose it"

The bongo comes with our MEINL Free Ride Suspension System (German patent), black powder coated hardware, hand selected buffalo heads, 8 mm strong tuning lugs, 2.5 mm rounded SSR-Rims, accessory pouch, L-shaped tuning key and a tune up oil.
