LP LP812-C 12inch Drum Set Timbale

Specially designed as a drum set add-on. Combining the drum set with traditional timbales has become the norm rather than the exception. The reasons are many. When playing reggae, for example, the drummer can keep a loosely tensioned snare and strike timbales for the signature staggered-triplet rimshots-a timbre impossible to obtain from a loosely tuned snare drum.

For songo, the timbales inject authentic sounds and help the drummer emulate the sound of a complete percussion section-the same applies for mambo choruses, cha cha cha, and other Afro-Cuban styles. For players of world music, timbales contribute a distinct tone and offer a more defined pitch than double-headed drum kit toms.
