Latin Percussion, also known as LP, is a brand of percussion instruments, specializing in ethnic instruments and Latin percussion.

History[edit]

LP was founded in New York City in 1964 by Martin Cohen.[1] As the company expanded, they added imported lines to their catalog, and also became an exporter.

LP invented several instruments that have become commonplace such as the vibraslap, the jam block, and granite blocks.[2]

Company information[edit]

In 2002, LP was purchased by Kaman Music Corporation and operated as its independent subsidiary within Kaman's music distribution segment.

In 2008, LP was purchased by Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.[3]

In 2014, LP was purchased by Drum Workshop.[4]

Awards[edit]

In 2001, Martin Cohen received a Special Recognition Award from the International Latin Music Hall of Fame for his contributions during nearly 40 years in the music industry.[5]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
