Them Timpanis Prestige of LP represent a deep revision of the concept of the timpanis. LP has completely renovated materials, hoops, tuning mechanisms and mounting stability. Consequently, the shells resonate with authentic shells, while the heads Prestige LP produces off and open tones that give you energy inexhaustible to a band. Them hoops improved hoops and stands of hoop they do that the rimshots are easier to touch and that these project more sound without annoying harmonics.
The tuning of the timpanis has always been a disadvantage of the traditional design of these instruments, since the screw handling is very complicated: you must make it fit the key as you can and turn it around! For lucky, that's already happened the history. Them Timpanis Prestige de LP present tuning screws aiming up, making it easy tuning settings.
LP designers have changed the position the ribs of the Shell to give you more space to hit the drumsticks, which allows lighter husk tones. The plates sides allow a better response of the shells.The central block (that's between the pair timpanis) has been redesigned to minimize the movement of the shells and it contains a compartment for the key tuning! The clamping screw, which was so stubborn, has been down, reducing the possibility of collision and reducing incredibly, the torsion force required to rotate it.
