Product Description

LP Mini Timbales are fashioned after LP's famous full-size Tito Puente Timbales, just smaller. They feature 6" and 8" diameter and 3-1/4"deep, chrome plated steel shells with authentic Cuban-style tuning. They create a dry sound and are an ideal addition to any percussion set up, or can be easily incorporated into any drum kit. Each set of Mini Timbales includes a heavy duty, chrome tilting mount that can attach to any 3/8" diameter rod.

This review is from: Latin Percussion LP845K Mini Timbales

This set of timbales can be easily added to any kit to expand your range of playing to include Latin. The heads can be tuned high for Latin or lower to use as higher-pitched tom toms.

The mounting bracket clamp allows you to attach these to any 3/8" rod, including hi-hat stands. This makes them conveniently available, yet sufficiently out of your way when the music does not call for this type of sound.

Construction is heavy chrome-plated steel, and the sound is awesome. Mine are mounted on my hi-hat and on my Pearl Rhythm Traveler kit (ASIN: B0002FO4R8), and the 6" and 8" timbales nicely complement the 10" and 12" toms with which that kit is configured. I typically use a modified Pulse piccolo snare (ASIN: B0002F5IVO) with this kit, which has upgraded heads and snare, and the high sound of the snare goes beautifully with the timbale sounds.
