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
Timbale set (pair)
Two different-diameter drums, tuned high and low, so you get the classic macho/hembra call-and-response.
Detail 03
Metal shells
Cut through a loud band better than wood. Bright, cracking rimshots and a clear cascara on the shell side.
Detail 04
Single-headed drums
No bottom head, so notes are short and dry. Tuning is quick and tone is set almost entirely by head tension.
Detail 05
$299.99 for the set
You are buying two drums plus mounting hardware, not one drum. Per-drum cost is low for LP-branded gear.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Cowbell, jam block and their mounting brackets are separate purchases
- 02Timbale sticks are thin dowels, not drumsticks — buy a pair
- 03Heads are thin and dent; keep a spare batter head on hand
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do timbales come with a stand?
This is sold as a set, which normally includes the mounting stand for the pair. Confirm before ordering if you need it to stand on its own.
02Can I mount these to my drum kit?
Yes, with a clamp or multi-clamp attached to a cymbal or rack tube. The included stand is separate from kit mounting hardware.
03What size are the drums?
Timbale sets pair a smaller high drum with a larger low drum. Check the listed diameters for this specific set before buying stands or heads.
04Are these loud enough to play acoustically in a band?
Yes. Metal-shell timbales are very loud and cut through horns and guitars without amplification in most club settings.
