Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

Chimes (effect bar chimes) have become a staple in modern percussion setups to add brightness and space to an arrangement. This 12-bar version focuses on a compact and efficient format, with aluminum alloy bars for a clear attack and immediate presence in the mix.

Who This Drum/Instrument Is For

These chimes are designed for drummers and percussionists of all levels, from beginners seeking a simple effect to integrate, to experienced musicians wanting a responsive and quick-to-trigger accessory. They are particularly suited to styles where textures matter: pop, rock, funk, Latin, film music, worship, and studio productions.

Features and Innovations

The Kevlar strap ensures stable mounting of the bars and contributes to a consistent response during strikes or sweeps. The mounting ring facilitates installation on a stand, boom arm, or near the kit, keeping the effect within reach without cluttering the playing space.

Sound Characteristics

The aluminum alloy provides a bright sonic signature, with a clear attack and a rather brilliant tone, perfect for cutting through a dense mix. The 12-bar format favors a direct and readable effect, triggered by finger, stick, or mallet to vary intensity.

The Rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) support adds a solid and stable base, while contributing to a natural and pleasant feel in an acoustic or hybrid setup.
