Tambourines are right alongside cymbals with their power to color a band mix or recording, so their influence needs to be thought through carefully.

The Meinl Artist Series Sand Hihat Tambourine was developed with Benny Greb to work-in dry, vintage sounds with a mellow frequency that blends seamlessly without being weak.

Who better to help design a modern hihat tambourine that is full of nuance and transparency than Benny? He is the MASTER of developing cymbal character that sits perfectly in a drum kit or band mix. You may have heard of Benny's Sand Series Cymbals by Meinl.

Turns out, his idea of sandblasting cymbal surfaces to hone their sound works just as well with tambourine jingles.

Articulation without overpowering

Sandblasting the jingles takes the edge off, so to speak. Their volume becomes more controlled, the sound dry, and the tone FULL of depth—a perfect compliment to modern drum set sounds.

Your mix can be a delicate thing

It's all about how the Sand Hihat Tambourine sits in your mix because the last thing you want is any one part of your kit or percussion set up OVERREACTING.

You don't want to cater your playing to your gear depending on your playing situation. Your gear should always cater to YOUR dynamics—this is the Meinl Sand Hihat Tambourine.
