Traditionally, batás are ceremonial drums that are played in groups. At least three people sit, each with a different size drum, and act out "call and answer" patterns, which are played on the drums. Contemporary drummers often use two or three batás in a stand on their percussion set-up. LP Batás have precise, gracefully tapered shells, with increasing thickness to the smallest point, for a great, strong sounding drum.
