How to Choose the Best Tambourines – Hand Percussion
Types of Tambourines
Tambourines come in various forms, each with a distinct sound and feel. The most common is the handheld frame tambourine, often made of wood or plastic, featuring pairs of metal jingles. These are versatile and suitable for most musical applications. Other types include mounted tambourines, designed to be attached to drum kits, and headless or frame tambourines, which offer a drier, more percussive sound without a resonant head. Consider the musical context and your playing style when choosing a type.
Materials and Construction
The materials used in a tambourine's construction greatly influence its tone and durability. Wooden tambourines generally offer a warmer, richer sound, while plastic models are often more affordable and resistant to changes in humidity. The jingles themselves are typically made of brass or steel; brass produces a mellower, warmer tone, whereas steel offers a brighter, more cutting sound. Look for sturdy construction, with well-secured jingles and a comfortable grip, especially if you plan on frequent use.
Size and Weight
Tambourines are available in various sizes, usually ranging from 6 to 12 inches in diameter. Smaller tambourines are lighter and easier to handle for quick rhythmic patterns, making them ideal for beginners or those who prioritize agility. Larger tambourines tend to produce a fuller sound and may offer more resonance. The weight is also a factor; a heavier tambourine might feel more substantial but can lead to fatigue during extended playing sessions. Choose a size and weight that feels balanced and comfortable in your hand.
Sound Characteristics
The sound of a tambourine is determined by the number and type of jingles, as well as the frame material. Some tambourines feature a single row of jingles, while others have multiple rows for a fuller, more complex sound. The tension of the head (if present) also affects the tone; a tighter head produces a sharper sound, while a looser head yields a softer tone. Experimenting with different jingle materials (brass vs. steel) and frame types will help you identify the specific sonic qualities you desire for your music.
