Willy Calderon Announces Signature Timbales with Gon Bops

Los Angeles, CA — Internationally acclaimed producer and percussionist Willy Calderon has announced the upcoming release of the Willy Calderon Neon Signature Timbales in collaboration with Gon Bops Percussion, scheduled for release in early 2026.
The Neon Signature Timbales mark a historic milestone in percussion design as the first mass-produced steel timbales to feature a dual-color finish, combining neon yellow and magenta. Designed for both professional performance and visual impact, the instruments reflect Calderon’s forward-thinking approach to contemporary Latin music and stage aesthetics.
With this release, Calderon becomes the youngest signature artist on the U.S. West Coast in history, further solidifying his influence as a modern innovator in Latin percussion. The collaboration brings together Gon Bops’ legacy of craftsmanship with Calderon’s global perspective as a performer, producer, and genre pioneer.
