Quality Construction and Vibrant Sound

The core of the Meinl HTHH2B-BK’s design is its commitment to both durability and a professional-grade sound.

• Durable Frame: The tambourine features a tough, black-finished frame that is built to withstand the rigors of frequent use.2 The frame is designed to be easily mounted to any standard hi-hat rod.3

• Hammered Brass Jingles: The tambourine is equipped with a double row of hammered brass jingles that are carefully selected to produce a bright, high-pitched, and cutting sound with a distinct metallic texture.4 The hammered surface provides a slightly drier, more focused sound. This clear tone can easily be heard over other instruments, making it a great addition to any mix.5

• Compact and Lightweight: With a 5″ size and a lightweight design, the tambourine is an excellent option for drummers who need a subtle and dynamic tambourine sound.6

The Meinl HTHH2B-BK is engineered for maximum convenience and ease of use, with several thoughtful features that make it a practical choice for any musician.

• Hi-Hat Mounted Design: The tambourine is designed to be mounted directly on the hi-hat rod, allowing the player to create a steady rhythm with their hi-hat foot.7 This hands-free design is perfect for drummers who want to add a new layer of percussive texture to their playing without having to hold a tambourine.

• Versatile Use: This tambourine’s bright and dynamic sound makes it an excellent choice for adding percussive texture to any musical piece.8 It is suitable for both solo playing and integration into a larger percussion setup.

• Easy to Use: The tambourine is designed to be used with your hi-hat foot, allowing you to create a variety of rhythms and dynamics with ease.
