About Tycoon

Tycoon manufactures a wide selection of acoustic world percussion instruments and hardware. The catalogue features traditional hand drums such as cajons, djembes, congas, and bongos, alongside hand percussion accessories. Built with materials including Siam oak, American ash, mango wood, fibreglass, and natural animal skin heads, Tycoon instruments are designed for novice players, students, and performing percussionists.

Cajons and Hand Percussion

Tycoon produces acoustic cajons in standard, full-size, and compact formats. The Supremo Series and Supremo 29 Series feature adjustable snare wires and Siam oak or hardwood bodies, while the Supremo Radiant cajon includes a specialized light-radiating front plate finish. For younger players, the 24 Series Supremo Cajon provides a compact body with a 24-centimetre wide front plate. Players seeking specific tone woods can choose the 30th Anniversary Celebration Series Cajon, crafted from American ash wood, or the Crate Cajon, built from Siam oak with Asian hardwood plates. Tycoon also offers the TKBSC-29 BK cajon package complete with maracas and a carrying bag, as well as two-row and four-row steel sleigh bells mounted on Siam oak handles for ensemble performances.

Djembes

The Tycoon djembe lineup includes both solid wood and fibreglass models in sizes ranging from 6 inches to 12 inches. The African Series djembe is carved from a single piece of sun-dried mango wood, strung with 5-millimetre non-stretch rope, and fitted with a natural goatskin head. For lightweight portability, Tycoon constructs rope-tuned and key-tuned fibreglass djembes with hand-brushed shells engineered to release zero emissions during manufacturing. Models like the TFAJ-8, TFAJ-10, and TFAJ-12 offer rope tuning in Jamaican and dark brown finishes, while key-tuned models like the TFJ-10 provide mechanical tuning systems paired with hand-picked goatskin heads.

Congas, Bongos, and Hardware

Tycoon provides conga and bongo solutions designed for practice, stage performance, and travel. The Ritmo Series bongos feature 6-inch and 7-inch shells crafted from aged Siam oak, equipped with water buffalo skin heads and Classic-Pro hoops. The compact Agile Series conga range includes 11-inch, 11 3/4-inch, and 12 1/2-inch drums measuring 4 3/4 inches tall, combining staved Siam oak shells with Remo M7 Tucked Fiberskyn heads and top-tuning mechanisms. Tycoon supports these drums with the height-adjustable TACS-C tripod stand, dedicated steel mounting brackets, and a padded carrying backpack with storage for tuning accessories.
