Introducing the IKEA x Reyes Bongo Drum Collection So, what can you expect from this collaboration? IKEA and Reyes have designed a collection focused on bringing authentic bongo drumming into homes of all sizes and musical abilities. It's not about becoming a professional percussionist; it’s about tapping into your inner rhythm and having fun! The collection features two core bongo drum options: REYES BONGO (7" & 8"): This is the classic bongo experience, perfect for beginners and seasoned players alike. Crafted with durable hardwood shells and high-quality goat skin heads (a hallmark of Reyes’ craftsmanship), these drums deliver a rich, resonant sound. They’re available in a natural finish, fitting seamlessly into any home décor. These aren’t flimsy, mass-produced instruments; they’re built to last and designed to sound great. REYES BONGO (6" & 7") - KIDS EDITION: Designed specifically for younger musicians, these smaller-sized bongos are easier to handle and play. The drums maintain the same high-quality construction and sound as the adult version, but in a size that's perfect for little hands. This is a great way to introduce kids to the world of music and encourage their creativity. It’s not just a toy; it’s a real instrument that can help develop their musical skills. But it's not just about the drums... IKEA and Reyes understand that learning an instrument can be daunting. That’s why the collection also includes: Beginner’s Guide to Bongo Drumming: A simple, easy-to-follow guide covering basic rhythms, techniques, and care instructions. Whether you've never touched a drum before or are looking to brush up on your skills, this guide is a great starting point. Online Tutorial Videos: Accessible through IKEA’s website and app, these video tutorials provide step-by-step instruction from experienced percussionists. Visual learners will appreciate the clear demonstrations and helpful tips. Protective Drum Bag: Keep your bongos safe and sound with a durable, padded drum bag. Perfect for storage and transport, so you can take your rhythm on the go! Why Bongos? Why Now? “We’ve seen a growing interest in mindfulness and creative expression,” explains the IKEA representative. “People are looking for ways to de-stress, connect with their emotions, and express themselves. Playing the bongo drum is a fantastic outlet for all of that. It’s therapeutic, energizing, and just plain fun!” The bongo drum, with its origins in Cuba, is a versatile instrument that can be used to play a wide range of musical styles, from Latin to jazz to pop. It's also a relatively easy instrument to learn, making it accessible to people of all ages and skill levels.
