Established in 1965 in the heart of swinging London, the Natal Percussion company enjoyed huge success. Their unique fibreglass congas and bongos found favour with some of the biggest bands of the era with the likes of The Rolling Stones, Santana, T. Rex and Led Zeppelin, all using Natal on stage.

By the 1970s Natal's Afro-Cuban instruments could be found around the globe, such was its growing popularity and great reputation among percussionists.

Since then Natal has continued to develop and refine a vast range of percussive instruments, from traditional African Duns Duns and Djembes to the modern Fusion range of Ash wood congas and bongos, not to mention a huge selection of handheld instruments.

In 2010 Natal was acquired by another iconic British company with a proud reputation and renowned musical heritage – Marshall Amplification. With one of the biggest brands in music behind it, Natal Percussion is set to continue delivering world class percussion instruments with some very exciting new products due to be launched in early 2011.

Everyone at Natal Percussion is extremely proud to be sponsoring the UK national Young Drummer of the Year competition and would like wish all finalists the best of luck.
