Gon Bops
the sound of the most legendary and authentic percussion in the world
Musikmesse 2013
The Gon Bops legend began in early 1950's California. During that era, Mariano Bobadilla and Tom Flores were the most highly regarded conga builders in the percussion industry. Tom founded Valje Drums and crafted some of the most sought after Afro-Cuban instruments in the US, while Mariano founded Gon Bops, one of the oldest and most respected manufacturers of Latin instruments in the world.
Flores concentrated on small, handcrafted wooden stave selection, and moved his design away from the original Cuban shape of the instrument. He focused heavily on air drying the drum staves and scoring the interior to prevent cracking and allow flexibility. He was certainly at the forefront of the industry and his drums were quickly in demand by the best players in the world.

"Solid Wood" - part 1
1986 - Introduction to Bobby Womack and Ronnie Wood.
Within seven months of my arrival in London, I landed on my feet, playing drums with Bobby Womack. My friend, Trevor, contacted me and asked if I could cover his rehearsal date with Bobby Womack. Trevor introduced me to Bobby and I took over the drums. Trevor, gave me his blessing, he was double booked to play with Anita Baker.
The rehearsal was a success, I felt terrific, like walking in out of the cold. Sessions like these are like Fridays, to (9 -5) workers, you’re feeling nice and relaxed, knowing the weekend is here. Bobby is a charismatic guy, he was very warm, I liked that. I gave him some good grooves and kept his mojo working!
