Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The tambourine mounted on the charleston has become a classic for thickening the groove and providing an immediate "shimmer," highly sought after in funk, pop, disco, and contemporary music. In the 5-inch format, it aims for quick integration into the setup, offering a noticeable but easy-to-control effect.
Who This Drum/Tambourine Is For
This charleston tambourine is designed for beginner to advanced drummers who want to enrich their playing without changing their habits. It is particularly suitable for styles where rhythmic articulation matters: funk, pop, rock, disco, electro, gospel, as well as live contexts where an immediately audible additional texture is desired.
Features and Innovations
Designed to be mounted on a charleston, this 5-inch model adds a natural tambourine effect with the slightest movement. The 2 rows of steel jingles increase sound density and jingle consistency while maintaining a quick response for tight grooves and accents.
Sound
Thanks to the steel jingles, the sound is lively, bright, and well-defined, with a clear attack and strong projection. On the charleston, the effect blends naturally with the foot "chick" and openings, adding a sparkling texture that highlights offbeats and ghost notes without masking the rest of the kit.
