Meinl PERCUSSION 12 TAMBURELLO WALNUT BROWN GOAT SKIN ALUMINUM JINGLES - FD12TAM

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

Range information and manufacturer origin are not specified. However, this tamburello fits within the great tradition of skin tambourines, appreciated for their immediate musicality and their ability to color a groove with subtle or very marked accents.

Who This Drum/Tamburello Is For

The 12 Tamburello Walnut Brown is suitable for beginners looking for an inspiring instrument as well as intermediate and advanced musicians who want a reliable percussive texture. It naturally lends itself to acoustic and hybrid styles: world music, folk, pop, light rock, chanson, worship, as well as studio arrangements where a controlled "shimmer" and sharp attacks are sought.

Features and Innovations

With its 12-inch diameter, this tambourine offers an excellent balance between playing comfort and projection. The walnut brown frame provides a stable grip, while the goat skin promotes a sensitive response to nuances (ghost notes, rolls, accents). The aluminum jingles add precise brightness, useful for emphasizing the tempo, enriching a right-hand pattern, or reinforcing a backbeat without weighing down the spectrum.

Sound

The choice of a walnut frame contributes to a solid feel and controlled resonance: it delivers a rather warm character with balanced projection, particularly pleasant for acoustic accompaniments. The natural goat skin provides a soft and lively attack, with an authentic grain that finely reacts to hand pressure and striking speed.

The aluminum jingles complete the picture with a clear and quick shimmer, enhancing rhythmic clarity. The result: a tambourine capable of shifting from a discreet and airy jingle to sharper accents, equally at ease in live performance and studio recording.
