Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
Inspired by "add-on" tambourines used to enrich a groove without adding a bulky instrument, this strap model positions itself as a simple and effective solution: a percussion accessory designed to complement an acoustic drum kit, an electronic set, or a percussion setup, while remaining discreet in terms of installation.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This strap tambourine is aimed at drummers and percussionists of all levels who want to add sparkling accents without changing their technique. Perfect for pop, funk, rock, reggae, acoustic music, and worship, it also works very well in the studio to double a hi-hat or highlight a backbeat with a more "jingle" color.
Features and Innovations
The combination of a plastic body and stainless steel jingles aims for a sound that is both effective and easy to control: the frame remains lightweight, while the jingles provide a bright high register. The elastic strap allows for quick setup on hardware, convenient for switching between kits or varying positions according to your ergonomics.
Sound
The stainless steel jingles deliver a clear, bright, and well-defined sound, with a quick response that highlights the high frequencies. The result is a sharp "shimmer," ideal for reinforcing the pulse, creating dynamic builds, or adding a continuous percussive texture depending on where you attach it and your playing intensity.
