Hi, This is a review about the PTM50SHR Ultra Grip Tambourine from Pearl. It has 12 jingles made out of steel. The jingle control system is a grea feature that separates this Tambourin from other in this price region. It allows you to control the volume and the sustain of the jingles for each jingle. The sound cuts well through any msic genre (mine is progressive metal) I like its clear and open sound. The rubber surface on the tambourin avoids to destroy your sticks. Another cool feature is the mount, you can easily take off the PTM50SHR Ultra Grip Tambourine to play it as a hand tambourin and 2 seconds later you can strike it with a stick after you needn´t screw the tambourin to the stand, because there is already the Quick-Mount-Platform adjusted to the stand.

Very responsive for the player’s movement - a truly professional instrument! The head sound is just perfect for me. I absolutely love the BSP models with their Cromium jingles! Either get any models from the TC series where half the jingles are Cromium, or the TD1 where all the jingles are Chromium. These models have so great general sound you can use anybof these for everything in the whole classical repertoire! My favorite is the TC1, but I would never recommend anything other than these previously mentioned models - and these are really just up for personal preference which one you get. They all do the job flawlessly.

The sound of the jingles is a little lower and less cutting than stainless steel is, but they have a very nice mellow tone (I thought they had a better sound than many hand-played tambourines actually). I've found they work best in studio applications and smaller gigs due to this. The construction of this tambourine is surprisingly heavy, I like that it's so solid-feeling and rugged, but it pulls down a lot on the hi hat rod when it's attached and I could do without having to adjust the position of my clutch every time I want to use it. That said it's quite easy to place and remove this ching ring, and it doesn't slip while you're playing either, unlike a few other quick release-style hi hat tambourines. It plays well when you hit the frame with a stick, and it's even okay to use...

Great sounding compact tambourine. I use on top of my hihat and love how bright it is when played with the cymbal foot chick. This will cut through almost anything, and being small won't take up too much space in your gig bag. The only negative is that the pins which hold the jingles are only held in by what appears to be silicone. On one song my rather enthusiastic singer managed to work 2 on them loose while playing it with her hands in the traditional manner. A couple of strips of tape fixed this but given that it wasn't being abused this may need looking at by the manufacturer. That aside I've been using it for well over a year & its held up well. Great little tambourine!

You get what you pay for and with this Meinl tambourine you get an amazing sounding, strong, versatile piece of percussion. This tambourine can be mounted on any L-rod, cymbal holder or tom arm. The sound is fantastic and it cuts through nicely without being too intrusive. It has a bright, happy sound although you can sometimes hear the plastic sounding attack of the stick when playing quietly. I’m really only mentioning this to be as open and honest as I can in this review. Overall this is a solid, beautiful sounding piece of percussion that will easily outlast and outshine the cheaper competitors.

Bought this item to add to my existing hand drums. Pro: Constructed to high standard as you would expect from Remo, finish is very good. Very nice aqua color where you can see the wood grain through the color. Jingles are brass - which I prefer as you get a brighter but warmer sound compared to steel jingles. Jingles are larger compared to other jingles, I like this feature. Performs well in playing: Doum, palm slap and Tak sounds all can be done relatively easily. Head: is a kind of polymer. Remo still make drums with natural skin heads, but also polymer/synthetic - , not an issue as riq sounds fine with this kind of skin. Con: Weight a bit on the heavy side, but I'll get used to this with practice. Price a little too much? Overall it isn't as this is a signature drum (Layne Redmond)...

As a professional percussionist and cajon player, I have had experience with various foot tambourine brands and types throughout the years. Unfortunately, many of them required constant adjustments and fell apart after a few gigs. Since I tap the beat with the front of my foot, I can't speak to their performance when used on the back of a shoe. However, I'm thrilled to say that the Drumport StompTech Jingle Clip has exceeded my expectations. Unlike those that require an elastic band to secure them to your foot, this tambourine offers numerous advantages. Elastic bands tend to wear out or tear quickly, and their design doesn't lend itself to easy replacement. Additionally, they often leave unsightly marks on the top of your shoe, which is less than ideal when you're trying to maintain...

Perfect vanilla tambourine with no unnecessary extras... It has a nice weight and size balance so that the sound you get from it is really full. Wood is the reason why it's so light and I think it's more resonant than metal too so that's why it's so well sounding. Plus the one row of jingles makes it even more accurate and clear. And the design is just so natural and slick that you don't feel paranoia that some might think that you have stole a tambourine from an alien - if you know what I don't like about the other tambourines. You can't go wrong with this!

The jingles are wetter and more mellow than stainless steel jingles, the sound is reminiscent of sleigh bells to me. Very sensitive due to the lightweight jingles. These make the tambourine good for studio work with sticks, but I was disappointed with its live playing by hand as I thought the sound would be louder and more cutting. Nonetheless I use this tambourine for live playing by hand now as it has fantastic build quality. The grip is comfortable, doesn't cause blisters with extended playing (something that multiple other tambourines have caused me over the years), it?s very lightweight, durable enough to be thrown into the back of a van every night without even a scratch, and the rubber coating on one side of the frame gives some cushioning to your striking hand (good for long...
