Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
In the spirit of tambourine-type accessories for hi-hats, the Ching Ring is a simple solution to enrich playing without adding an extra stand. It aims for efficiency: an immediate percussive effect that serves the groove.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This Ching Ring is intended for drummers and percussionists of all levels, both in the studio and on stage. It is especially appreciated in funk, pop, rock, reggae, hip-hop, and acoustic music, whenever a more "alive" and catchy hi-hat sound is desired in the mix.
Features and Innovations
Designed to be quickly placed on the hi-hat, it naturally follows the openings and closings, adding a controlled shimmer. Its stainless steel construction promotes durability and a consistent feel, even with intensive use.
Sound
The jingles provide brightness and a "sizzle" texture that accentuate the foot attack and the definition of eighth notes. Depending on the hi-hat opening, the effect ranges from a subtle hiss to a more pronounced jingle, without muffling the main cymbal sound.
