This unique fusion instrument, conceived by Jamey Haddad, combines essential features of a kanjira, riq and pandeiro.
Like a kanjira, this drum features a small diameter frame with a single set of jingles played primarily with the right hand, the left hand used for pitch bending.
Additional jingle slots are positioned on either side of the hand arch to accommodate riq jingles. A third jingle set is positioned at the top of the drum to accomodate pandeiro-style playing or shaking.
An additional set of "hadjingles" is included to extend the range of possible effects.
Our turned hardwood shell is 9 3/8" diameter, 2 7/8" high, with a precision cut bearing edge.
REMO's special cloth/mylar head is recommended. We secure the head into an exterior groove which is then covered with a colored knit cord, a design that minimizes the tendency of the head to pull away from the shell.
