This drum set, made by Latin Percussion, Inc. in New Jersey, consists of timbales, two cowbells and a stand. Puente played these timbales during the 1996 closing ceremony for the Summer Olympics in Atlanta and autographed them in both English and Spanish when he donated them to the Smithsonian later that year. Puente was a master percussionist known for his skill on the timbales and his energetic style as a bandleader. He brought the percussion section front-and-center in his orchestra, underscoring how these rhythmic patterns were the foundation of Latin Music and incorporated them into his mambo and Latin jazz compositions, earning him worldwide recognition.
