Meinl HEADLINER SERIES HAND HELD ABS TAMBOURINE 2 ROWS

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

Part of the jingled percussion family, the handle tambourine has established itself as a practical alternative to the traditional round tambourine. Its "stick" shape favors control and precision of accents while retaining the characteristic shimmer of the jingles in a lightweight and easy-to-carry format.

Who This Drum/Instrument Is For

This handle tambourine is suitable for beginners as well as intermediate and advanced musicians looking for a simple, effective, and immediately musical accessory. It is particularly relevant in pop, rock, funk, variety, folk, gospel, or in acoustic and live contexts whenever reinforcing the backbeat, coloring a chorus, or energizing a verse is needed.

Features and Innovations

The ergonomic handle ensures a stable and natural grip: you can chain hand strikes, shake movements, or accents on the beats with good dynamic control. The 2 rows of jingles increase the jingle density: the sound is more present, with clearly defined attacks, while maintaining good playing flexibility to nuance from simple accompaniment to more marked accents.

Sound

The stainless steel jingles provide a clear brightness and a "sparkling" character that stands out easily in a mix without requiring excessive force. The two-row configuration promotes a richer and fuller response, ideal for steady grooves and punctuations. The ABS plastic body contributes to lightness and hand comfort while offering a solid feel suitable for repeated use in rehearsals and on stage.
