Our medium-sized Italian style tambourine features a unique set of hand cut, dry jingles paired with a loosely fitted synthetic head to create a drum that emphasizes a robust yet tinny-jingle dynamic on top of a forcefully played drum. Many regional tamburello techniques may be explored with this mid-range model, but typically the drum is gripped in the left hand and the right hand is used to produce fast, pivoting, triple-stroke rolls moving from thumb to the side of the hand to a full slap. The drum is designed to be light in weight, with an arch grip, and the jingle slots staggered staggered to emphasize continuous rolls. The REMO Renaissance head produces a warm sound with an excellent range of dynamics.
Our turned hardwood shell is 11 7/8" outside diameter x 2 11/16" deep, with 9 pairs of heat treated, roughly hammered jingles.
