The King stopped by the LP corporate office and photo studio to pick up the four, hand-painted sets of LP Tito Puente Model Timbales that were created for Tito to use on his Summer 1998 tour of Europe.

This tour brought Tito together with Steve Winwood and Arturo Sandoval. The art for these drums, created by Manny Vega, has as it's theme the international appeal of the music Tito plays.
