Detail 01
Hi-hat mount
Sits between the hi-hat cymbals and rides the foot pedal, so the jingles sound on every hat stroke.

MEINLHeadliner Series Hand Hammered Brass Jingles Hi-Hat Tambourine Single Row
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single-row hand hammered brass jingle tambourine that mounts on a hi-hat, so a drummer plays tambourine hands-free with the foot.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drummers adding tambourine to a groove without dropping a stick
- Church and worship kits where a backbeat shimmer is expected
- Small stages where an extra percussionist won't fit
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Hand percussionists who want a shaking tambourine — this is built to mount
- Players needing loud, dense jingle wash from a double row
- Anyone without a hi-hat stand to mount it on
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
Single row of jingles
Lighter, drier sound with less sustain than a double row — cuts through without washing over the snare.
Detail 03
Brass jingles
Warmer, darker tone than steel. Sits under a mix rather than sitting on top of it.
Detail 04
Hand hammered
Uneven jingle surface spreads the pitch out slightly, so repeated hits sound less identical.
Detail 05
Headliner Series
MEINL's budget line. Built to be used and replaced, not a lifetime piece.
Detail 06
$29.99
Cheap enough to leave permanently on the hi-hat stand rather than swap it in per song.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Requires an existing hi-hat stand — no stand or cymbals included
- 02Adds mass to the hi-hat, so pedal feel gets slightly heavier
- 03You'll want to loosen the clutch to fit it between the cymbals
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this work with any hi-hat stand?
It's designed to sit on a standard hi-hat rod between the two cymbals. Any conventional hi-hat stand should take it.
02Can I hold it and play it by hand?
It's built as a mounted piece, not a hand tambourine. Grip and balance aren't designed for shaking.
03Single row or double row — which do I want?
Single row for a tighter, drier accent that doesn't bury the hi-hat. Double row when you want more volume and jingle wash.
04Will it change how my hi-hat feels?
Yes. The extra weight on the rod makes the pedal a bit heavier and the hats a little slower to close cleanly.
