Hayman BG-405-WH Hardwood Bongos – 6.85″ & 7.95″, high-gloss white finish, natural rawhide heads, black powder-coated hardware
A single down-stroke and the BG-405-WH answers with equal parts clarity and style. The thick hardwood shells shimmer beneath a flawless high-gloss white lacquer that bounces every stage light, while the drums speak with the unmistakable snap of natural rawhide heads—earthy, responsive and alive to the subtlest finger roll. Framing that bright body is rugged black powder-coated hardware whose stealthy lines set off the icy gloss like ink on fresh paper. Paired diameters—6.85″ macho and 7.95″ hembra—deliver articulate slaps and a rounded bass bloom, perfect for salsa breaks, Afro-Cuban solos or acoustic lounge sets.
Under the hood, rounded bearing edges seat the hide evenly so it settles fast and holds pitch for marathon sessions. Heavy-gauge tension rods run smooth on precision threads, locking micro-adjustments against heat and humidity, while the low-profile hardwood centre block leaves knee clearance free for flamboyant technique. Mid-density hardwood focuses attack without the boxy ring of cheap laminates, giving engineers a studio-friendly tone that still projects on the street. Play gently and the heads whisper airy overtones; dig in and they erupt in woody harmonics synthetics can only dream of.
