Meinl Bongo Drums Journey Series in Ultimate Gray HB50UG

Meinl Bongo Drums – Journey Series

Ultimate Gray (HB50UG)

The Meinl Journey Series Bongo in Ultimate Gray is designed for players stepping confidently into the world of hand percussion—without compromising tone, durability, or feel. Whether you’re learning, recording, or taking your rhythm on the road, this is a bongo set built to travel the full journey with you.

Crafted from environmentally sustainable ABS plastic, the traditional-style shells are lightweight, extremely durable, and perfectly suited for touring, education, and everyday performance. Paired with hand-selected natural buffalo heads in 6.5" (Macho) and 7.5" (Hembra) sizes, these bongos deliver a warm, articulate sound that responds beautifully to both beginners and seasoned percussionists.

Thoughtful details elevate the playing experience: rounded 2.5 mm rims provide comfort during extended sessions, while black powder-coated hardware and strong 8 mm tuning lugs ensure reliable tuning and long-term stability. A solid woodblock connection keeps the drums firmly united, maintaining classic feel and projection.

Finished in a sleek Ultimate Gray high-gloss, the Journey Series Bongos look as refined as they sound—ready for the studio, stage, classroom, or campfire circle.
