The MEINL Classic Hardwood Claves are the most common claves and produce the classic cutting sound with just the right amount of resonance. These Claves are solid and deliver a bright, pleasant tone that is fitting for any style of music and any musician, professional or beginner. For drummers, learning clave patterns that originate in African and Latin music is a great way to learn, understand, and apply poly rhythmic patterns to the drum kit. These instruments are vital for any percussionist that is looking to enhance their sound.
