Latin Percussion Jam Tamb, Black (LP1207-T)

I have long been on the hunt for the perfect drum set tambourine. This is the 5th one I own, and the best yet! It's small, sturdy, and can mount basically anywhere: cymbal stem, 9mm percussion rod, or hi-hat pull rod. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's right around the same weight as my other hi-hat tamb, but sounds considerably better, and the LP mounting bracket holds onto the pull rod securely. I love the rubber striking surface- my complaint with the LP Cyclops drum set tamb (which has been my go-to for many years) is very "clicky." Solved. I do wish there were THREE rows of jingles rather than two; it sounds great, but doesn't cut like the Cyclops. Maybe a future model could have 3 rows of 3 pairs, or perhaps 2 rows of 4...? At any rate, this is the best tamb in my collection for both mounted and hi-hat applications. Buy it! (I'm considering a second one as we speak! ;)

It plays out great with my electric drum set and I will try to it with the learning of some jazz tunes

I just got this LP Jam Tamb so I obviously haven't gigged with it yet, but I have been able to play around with it for a little while. I compared it to the Toca 6" Mounted Jingle-Hit Tambourine that I also own. I can't really say that one of these toys is better than the other, but I will say that they are different and will likely be used in different arrangements and with different types of music. I tried both of the instruments with my hands, a set of regular drumsticks, and a set of Vic Firth rubber mallets. The Jam Tamb has a more sparse, lower, duller, --and dare I say "ragged"-- sound overall, whereas the Toca Jingle-Hit's sound is fuller, brighter, tighter, smoother, and emits more overtones. I believe the Jam Tamb woudld likely be suited to those situations when a percussionist wants a tambourine sound that is more muted, dry, and doesn't try to dominate the conversation. The Jingle-Hit, on the other hand, has a bright, almost tinny, sound that is fuller and much more piercing and noticeable. The Jingle-Hit definitely will require more finesse if you don't want to annoy your band-mates! I intend to use both of them with my hand drums. For my small setup I use a set of LP Jr. wood congas on a double conga stand, along with an LP percussion claw that holds an LP High Pitch Jam Block (Blue) and either the Toca Jingle-Hit (I've used that setup before with good results) or this Jam Tamb (which I will need to try out live in the future). I can also apply the block and the Jam Tamb or Jingle-Hit to my larger Pearl Primero Pro fiberglass dual conga + bongos setup. Altogether it seem that LP has yet another decent instrument to add to their ever-growing percussion catalog. Toca Jingle-Hit Tambourine With Mount 6"

Perfect

Sounds great

This Jam Tamb is solid and built to last but the response was disappointing. I knew the result would be minimal compared to a larger open tambourine, it is but this thing is very unresponsive. I think the culprit is the rubber bar along the top. If that wasn't there it would allow more of your strike to come through. The rubber also feels a bit strange to me. The lack of attack is also very odd if you use something like an LP cyclops normally. So, I decided to go back to an LP Cyclops, the dimpled brass version. It is more articulate, warmer and slightly subdued compared to steel tambs. LP is great and their instruments always have great tonal qualities and are built to last. They just missed with this Jam Tamb, I don't recommend it.

Great! I have it attached to my hi-hat and it sounds great!

Tough little unit. At first I mounted it off the same stand that my wood block was on and it would rattle when I didn't want it too. Make sure to mount it off something that you don't ride on unless you want that residual sound.

いい音が鳴ります。造りがしっかりしています。

Love it

What a great addition to any kit! This item has been on my wish list for ages... only wish I had bought one years ago. The sound is amazing! The construction is first class, quality materials, it is very robust!... A tad pricey maybe but you get what you pay for I guess.

I must have kept the mountable tambo industry in business for the past few years, just because I've been trying to find one that doesn't produce stick impact noise when you hit it. All I want is the sound you'd nornally get when playing a tambourine with the heel of your hand in the usual way, but all the mountable versions I've tried produce a penetrating click, or worse still, a loud clanking noise in the case of metal framed models, regardless of any pathetic rubber coating they may have (Meinl and Pearl, I'm looking at you). At last, here's something with a sonically dead rubber pad, which is firm but bouncy, at the impact point - nice one, LP. The jingles are bright and clear and the thing's a sensible shape, making it easier to mount conveniently (there's no reason at all why mountable tambourines need to be tambourine-shaped). No-one seems to mention that the clamp will easily go small enough to fit a hi-hat pull rod (mine's on my x-hat) if that's what you want - you're not obliged to use a 3/8" rod. One bit of design weirdness is the massive wing bolt that holds the instrument onto its mounting bracket, which can actually foul your stick if you play it with the shank at a near-horizontal angle, so either (a) don't, or (b) invert the bracket so the wing bolt is underneath, which is easy enough, or (c) as you won't be removing the bracket as a matter or routine, replace it with a conventional flat-headed bolt.

Ótimo produto. O som é excelente, e a borracha que acompanha ajuda a abafar o impacto da baqueta, mantendo o foco no som dos plates. Recomendo!
