Toca Exclusive Features

To achieve a new sound, design, and style, Toca introduced the EasyPlay Hoop, Four-Bolt Tension Plate and Afro-Cuban Shell.

Four Bolt Tension PlateToca's exclusive EasyPlay Hoop not only protects the player's hands from the hoop edges, but is the only hoop that enhances the sound of a drum by stretching the head away from the drums bearing edge to create extra resonance in the drum.

The Four-Bolt Tension Plate spreads the high tuning tension over a larger space of the shell allowing Toca drums the ability to stand up to high tuning ranges.

The Afro-Cuban Shell Design features a sharp taper at the lower portion of the conga's bowl, creating extremely strong bass tones, fundamental to the Afro-Cuban sound.

3-Year Warranty

Toca branded drums and accessories carry a 3-year warranty to the original owner.

During the early 90's, the music scene began to bustle with new trends. A new craze called drum circles began making headlines in the news, around the same time a new Latin sound called "Afro-Cuban" was hitting the pop charts with the Miami Sound Machine's hit "Conga". Hand drumming was receiving a great amount of press as more people began to take up hand drumming as a recreational hobby. People wanted to drum for a variety of health and wellness reasons, along with pure enjoyment. All the while, the Latin sound became more popular and mainstream.

Kaman Music decided to introduce Toca Percussion as a choice in hand percussion instruments and accessories. Toca was designed and developed to have a different look and provide the "Afro-Cuban" sound. These instruments made Toca unique from brands thus giving players and percussionists an alternative choice when looking for hand percussion instruments.

All Toca wood drums have two-ply stave shells for added durability and are finished in many vibrant color options. Toca Percussion also offers players and drum enthusiasts a wide variety of percussion instruments and accessories that are designed and tested by players.

Today, Toca is proud to be a leading brand in the hand drum and percussion marketplace, and is committed to always offering the player a distinctive choice in style, design, and sound.
