LPDrum Set Timbale 13 x 5.5 Chrome
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single 13x5.5 chrome timbale from LP's drum set line, sized to bolt onto an existing kit for cascara patterns and rim accents.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Kit drummers adding Latin flavor without a full timbale stand
- Salsa and Latin-rock songs needing sharp rim clicks
- Players who want one bright metal voice alongside toms
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Traditional timbale players who need a matched pair
- Anyone wanting a warm, dark tone from a shell
- Percussionists needing a full timbale setup with stand and cowbells
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
5.5-inch depth
Shallow shell. Sound cuts fast and dies quickly, which keeps busy patterns from smearing together.
Detail 03
Chrome shell
Metal shell gives the bright, ringing crack timbales are known for. Rim shots and cascara sit on top of a band.
Detail 04
Drum set timbale
Built to mount into a kit rather than stand alone, so it sits at tom height beside your existing drums.
Detail 05
Single drum, not a pair
You get one voice. Traditional timbale parts that alternate between two pitches will need a second drum.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your mount hardware matches. A stand or tom arm is a separate purchase.
- 02Timbale sticks are thin dowels, not drumsticks. You will want a pair.
- 03No cowbell or mounting bracket for one is included here.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I mount this on a regular tom stand?
It is designed to mount into a drum set setup, so it needs a tom arm or stand with a compatible bracket. Check what your kit's hardware accepts before ordering.
02Do I need special sticks?
Yes. Timbale sticks are thin, unhooped dowels that produce the right rim click and let you play cascara on the shell. Regular drumsticks are too heavy and will chew up the rims.
03Is one timbale enough?
For adding accents to a kit, yes. For playing traditional timbale parts that move between two pitches, you need a second drum in a contrasting size.
04Is 13 inches the high or low drum?
In a standard pair of 13 and 14, the 13 is the higher-pitched hembra side is actually the 14; the 13 is the macho, or higher drum. Alone it sits in a usable middle range.
