Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between nickel and brass jingles?
Nickel is brighter and cuts harder through a mix. Brass is warmer and drier. Nickel suits loud settings; brass suits intimate acoustic playing.
02Why does this cost more than the other Rhythm Tech tambourines?
The nickel jingles and drum-oriented construction. You are paying for jingle material and build rather than a basic entry-level handheld shell.
03Can I still play this by hand?
It is designed for drum-kit use. Handheld playing may work but the balance and grip are not optimized for it the way a dedicated handheld is.
04Will this cut through a loud band?
Nickel jingles are the bright end of the range, so it cuts better than most. In a very loud room you will still want a microphone on it.
