| Glen
Velez designed this series of drums to explore a
new context for some traditional instruments. The
three drums clearly borrow their design heritage
from the South Indian kanjira, the Southern
Italian tamburello, and the Spanish/Basque
panderoa, but they are not intended to
be traditional versions of those instruments. The
jingles, the jingle pattern, and all of the design
details have been adapted to facilitate Glen’s
innovative, cross-influenced tambourine technique.
This new design allows you to adapt the instrument
to your individual needs and preferences regarding
both weight (fewer jingles means lighter weight)
and sound. In an accompanying booklet, Glen demonstrates
the application of his Mediterrasian style
using hand movements drawn from the traditional
sources, but with the underlying rhythmic ideas
combined and shaped into a broadened context. |

Our internal tuning system preserves the traditional

A T-grip Allen wrench is included.
-
The shells are scalloped between the jingle
sets to reduce the weight and improve grip
comfort and increase accessibility to the
playing surface.
-
Our removable jingle-pin technology allows
alternative combinations of jingles.

Brass, Nickel-silver, and unique wood jingles
are available.
-
A bright, clear REMO Weatherking head is secured
into an exterior groove in the shell, which
is then covered with a colored cording.

Our Glen Velez Series also features a new bodhran model.
A celebrated international soloist and principal figure
in the art of the frame drum, Grammy award-winning percussionist
Glen Velez has created his own vocabulary and compositional
style. Inspired by his far reaching study of traditional
drumming techniques from cultures around the world,
the Velez bodhran combines the enhanced features of
the Glen Velez tar drums united with traditional features
of the Cooperman bodhrans.
