One of the most exciting new products from Bauer is the tumbala. While similar to Bauer's popular timbal, this drum comes equipped with a thin calfskin head and traditional conga rim. With the tumbala's robust tuning hardware, the tumbala can be tuned to high tension, producing a sharp, full-bodied sound reminiscent of a djembe or lower to resemble a conga but in a much lighter package.

The tumbala measures 70cm (about 27.5") tall with a 12-inch diameter head and is very light weight. Colors include Citrus (shown) and yellow/red sunburst.
