Salsa Snares
Latin Percussion has introduced
the stainless-steel Salsa Snares.
Developed to meet the sonic desires and quality demands of salsa timbaleros, the
snares are equally suited for rock, pop, and many other styles of music. The new Salsa Snares
are constructed from the same stainless steel as the LP Timbales and fitted with prestige-
style stainless steel rims, eight lugs, and a 24-strand snare wire.
The company describes the Salsa Snares’ sound as cutting and bright with a sharp at-
tack, which complements any timbales or drum set-up. There are two shell sizes: 5.5 x 13 in.
(LP5513-S) and 4.5 x 12 in. (LP4512-S).

PEAVEY MAX 208
Peavey Max Series
Bass Amps
Peavey has introduced the Max Series
bass amps, which are designed to be
durable but ultra-lightweight in their
construction.
One of the key features in the Max
series is the angled baffle, which allows
players to direct the sound at their ears
and not at their feet. While the low-end
is omni-directional, the transient is direc-
tional, meaning players can hear them-
selves clearly without having to tilt their
amp back. The sound is combined with an
improved power-to-weight ratio.
The Max Series includes: the Max 100,
which features a 10-in. woofer and deliv-
ers 100 W while measuring 15.5 in. wide
by 11.75 in. high by 17.5 in. deep; the
Max 150, which has a 12-in. woofer and
delivers 150 W while measuring 16.25 x
12.25 x 18.5 in.; the Max 250, which has a
15-in. woofer with high-end tweeter and
delivers 250 W while measuring 18.25
x 13.5 x 21 in.; and the Max 208, which
has two 8-in. woofers and delivers 150
W, measures 10 x 20 x 10 in., and weighs
33 lbs.
