Those Marathon Designer Series Congas match Taku Hirano´s playing style: elegant, captivating and versatile. The congas are proudly emblazoned with the Japanese Mitsudomoe symbol, representing Man, Earth, and Heaven. The symbol became associated with the Samuri ethos, and with the art of drumming itself.
Taku explains, "The Mitsudomoe symbol has always resounded with me in that it was a link to my heritage and synonymous to not only the warriors of Japan, but also the drummers of Japan. After doing research and finding out that it was adopted by a king with the same name as myself, and that is symbolized upholding honor to the highest degree, I knew that it chose me as much as I chose it."
The congas are equipped with True Skin Buffalo Heads, 8 mm strong tuning lugs, 2.6 mm rounded SSR-Rims, and black powder coated hardware.
Each conga comes with our Steely II Conga Stands (patented), MEINL Conga Saver (patented), accessory pouch, L-shaped tuning key, and a tune up oil.
