Experience the authentic fusion of Puerto Rican roots and New York flavor with the newly evolved Eric Velez Signature Nuyorican Bongo Bells. Originally released as handheld instruments, these professional steel bells are now equipped with a rugged eye-bolt mounting system. This versatile enhancement allows percussionists and drum set players alike to easily integrate the unmistakable Nuyorican sound into any setup by attaching them to any standard percussion rod.
Each bell is meticulously crafted to deliver bold rhythmic color and a sharp, cutting tone that stands out in pop, salsa, fusion, and beyond. The sleek matte-silver finish provides a modern aesthetic while the specialized steel construction ensures the clarity and projection required for professional performance. As Eric Velez notes, these bells were designed to fill a sonic void in the market, offering a unique character that was previously difficult to find.
Available in both High Pitch and Medium Pitch options, these mountable bongo bells provide the flexibility to customize your tonal palette. Whether you are accenting a complex Latin groove or adding texture to a contemporary kit, the Eric Velez Signature series offers the perfect combination of heritage-inspired sound and modern mounting convenience.
