Strong match

Who this is for

  • Live percussion where a single row gets buried
  • Church, worship and acoustic band backbeats
  • Mounting on a stand or hi-hat for kit players

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players wanting a dry, tight single-row click
  • Quiet recording where jingle sustain smears the track
  • Anyone needing a headed tambourine for hand-drum tone

The specifications, translated

MEINL Wood Tambourine Two Rows Brass Jingles construction detail

Detail 01

Two rows of jingles

Roughly double the jingle mass, so more volume and longer wash than a single-row tambourine.

Detail 02

Brass jingles

Brass reads warmer and rounder than steel, sitting under vocals instead of cutting over them.

Detail 03

Wood frame

Wood absorbs some attack and adds body, giving a softer thump when struck against the palm.

Detail 04

Natural finish

Unpainted wood shows grain and wear; scuffs and hand oils will darken it over time.

Detail 05

$59.99 price

Working-instrument territory rather than a toy — jingle rivets and frame are built for repeat gigging.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No mount, clamp or bag included; buy a holder for stand use
  2. 02Two rows ring longer — mute with your palm for tight parts
  3. 03Wood frames dislike heat and damp; don't store in a car

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Is this loud enough to play live without a mic?

Two rows of jingles push considerably more volume than a single row, so it holds up against an acoustic band. Loud full-band stages will still want a mic.

02Can I mount this on a cymbal or hi-hat stand?

Only with a separate tambourine mount or clamp, which is not included here.

03Brass or steel jingles — what is the difference?

Brass sounds warmer and less piercing. Steel is brighter and more aggressive. Brass is the easier choice for vocal-heavy music.

04Does it have a drum head?

This is a jingle-and-frame tambourine. You play it by hand strikes and shaking, not by striking a head.
