Meinl Percussion Headliner Series Hihat Tambourine

The Meinl Hihat Tambourine allows you to get a tambourine sound with your hihat foot, providing a bright jingle accent whenever you open and close your hihats with your foot. This compact and convenient tambourine easily mounts to any hihat stand pull rod, thanks to a quick access wing nut that allows for fast setup, adjustment, or removal. The design ensures a super strong grip on your hihat stand pull rod, even with heavy playing.

The sixteen pairs of hammered solid brass jingles in a double row configuration deliver a dry, vintage tone with a controlled volume, creating a classic throwback sound. The hammering dries the sustain, resulting in a mellow and earthy effect. The light yet solid and durable steel frame measures 5" across, providing a seamless touch as you play without a heavy lagging feel.

This hihat tambourine is an excellent accent piece for drummers playing in various settings, from intimate acoustic settings to live rock shows, house of worship music, jazz gigs, or recording sessions. When you don't need the tambourine throughout the whole song, it will remain quiet as you play on your hihat cymbals without foot accents.

Designed in Germany, Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturing business that was established in 1951. Their expert German designers have deep relationships with their builders to ensure the absolute finest quality.

The Meinl Headliner Series Hihat Tambourine is the perfect way to add "ching" to your hihat foot patterns, allowing you to play any note rate with your foot (quarters, eights, sixteenths), and the jingles respond right on the beat. It brightens up your grooves with different tonal accents, without requiring any changes to how you play or the positioning of your kit. The hammered solid brass jingles provide an extra-dry, warm, and old-school sound, with a controllable volume that supports the mix in acoustic settings and under mics in plugged-in settings.

The universal mount fits any hihat stand pull rod and is quick to add or remove, with a simple tightening of the thumb screw when the tambourine is in position. It's mainly designed for hihat foot accents, staying quiet as you play your hihats with drumsticks and jumping into action when you use your foot.

With a 5" diameter steel frame and 16 jingle pairs in 2 rows, the Meinl Headliner Series Hihat Tambourine adds a nice tambourine "ching" to your hihat foot stomps with a minimal attachment that goes on in seconds. As a family-owned brand with expert German designers, Meinl ensures you receive the absolute finest quality musical instruments.
