Meinl FJS2S-BK Foot Tambourine

Great but falls apart soon

this is a great piece of equipment for our cajonist but after 8 gigs it just fell apart

Hea heliga, ja suurepärane käed vabad süsteem. Aga samas saab ka edukalt käes hoida.

Lovely idea. Broke after a few times.

I would probably not buy this again. First, the rubber broke off just after a few times of use - and it is the metal melted into plastic that gave, not the textile. So I'd say this is a design flaw. Or I was unlucky. So have basically only ever used it as a travel hand tambourine, as it tended to slop off my foot, and then it broke.

Doesnt really have a tambourine sound

Doesn't really have a tambourine sound, it's way too jingly and "christmasy", but take it to a christmas carol gig and you're golden!

I also find the strap a bit uncomfortable if not wearing shoes, it's too tight so it cuts bloodflow. I tried to make the strap loser but then it wont stay on my foot.

Good for the Money

Got this Foot Tambourine to use with my Cajon. Its easy to use and loud enough. I prefer a slightly darker sound, as its a bit too jingly and bright but this was cured my muting the jingles with small bits of foam.

Much easier to use

I purchased this after using the Schlagwerk Krix Rhythm Step. The Krix makes an excellent addition to the cajon but I found it too fiddly to attach to my shoes, threading it underneath my shoelaces. The Meinl Foot Tambourine fits easily and quickly over the shoe, which makes this super easy to attach and to take off.

I use it as a hi-hat substitute, while playing modern drum patterns on the cajon. It?s loud enough to use along with a mic?d cajon.

Tinklefoot...

A neat little gadget, fits comfortably on the foot. The sound is a little thin due to the small number of zils but it still makes a pleasant enough sound. A good accompaniment for a solo performer.

Works like a charm.

Not the best build quality, not the best sound - but what can you expect from a cheap foot tambourine?

This foot tambourine does its job (I use it when I play cajon) without any problems what so ever. It's light, the strap is well-built (easy to mount on your foot) and doesn't fall off no matter how hard you play it.

I would recommend this foot tambourine to anyone wanting to add a versatile accompaniment to any percussion set, especially if you play the cajon and use both your hands.

For this price you cant get anything better! Despite only getting 4/5 on sound and quality I'll give it a 5/5 for its superb value for money!
