Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
For over thirty years, Meinl has been developing percussion instruments focused on "modern percussion," with a constant commitment to innovation and quality. This Jingle Tap fits within this approach: a small supplementary instrument designed to enrich cajon playing with additional textures without adding bulk to the setup.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This Jingle Tap is aimed at cajon players from beginners to advanced, as well as percussionists looking for a simple accessory to vary rhythmic colors. It works particularly well in acoustic pop, flamenco, folk, Latin, and unplugged settings whenever sparkling accents and a more "alive" groove are desired.
Features and Innovations
With its 14.5 cm size, it is played like a hand instrument to mark offbeats, reinforce a backbeat, or punctuate breaks. The steel jingles provide a clear presence in the mix, while the Siam Oak offers a solid and consistent foundation, ideal for maintaining definition even at low volumes.
Sound
Siam Oak (Hevea brasiliensis) is valued for its balance: precise attack, strong projection, and a controlled feel under the hand. Combined with steel jingles, the strikes gain brightness and musical "jingle," perfect for evoking a tambourine while retaining very articulated cajon playing.
