For the third straight year, LP has picked up a prestigious NAMM
Best in Show. This year’s winner, the ingenious LP
Percusso, enables
the percussionist to deliver two discrete tones from a single instrument.
By grasping the comfortable LP Percusso grip, the player can choose
between shaking the lightweight frame for a jingling tambourine tone
or by depressing the direct-touch lever for an authentic wood block
sound.
Each year at the winter NAMM, an industry panel announces products
that surpass expectations. The panel was comprised, appropriately,
of independent and small chain music retailers including Jim Rupp,
an acclaimed jazz drummer, owner of Columbus
Percussion, and founding
member of the Five Star drum retailer group. “The LP
Percusso is basically a tambourine with a trigger on it that makes a clave sound,” Rupp
explained. “It's a cool instrument in that you get a tambourine
sound and a clave block in one instrument. At our Five Star Drum Shops
breakfast a lot of the guys talked about the LP Percusso. We all concluded, “That's
really ingenious.”
Since its inception in the
sixties, LP has created rock solid, innovative,
and attractive contemporary percussion instruments for age-old sounds.
And, the easy grip, one-handed, the LP Percusso is no exception. In
an era defined by recession, the LP Percusso (LP-PER007) is affordable
and works in virtually any musical genre.
LP proudly accepts this latest NAMM
Best of Show Award and grateful
to the NAMM Best Of Show panel for including the LP Percusso under
the category, Gotta Stock It.
