I ran into these and was wondering what your opinions are of them? I don't want to purchase the large traditional Timbales because of space, and prefer something smaller to add additional sounds.
My Dixon Mini-timbales are pretty much the same as what you had with the Mini-Tymps. Just like yourself, for me sometimes space is an issue, especially as at the moment I'm playing covers and with a large group, space at the current venue where we have our residency is a big issue. As much as I'd like to be playing large size timbales, it's not going to be practical, especially if in the first place I'm not going to be playing authentic Latin rhythms within pop and dance tunes! So I'm really using these for colour....I'm sometimes playing percussion "stabs" on top of drumkit patterns, covering two roles really. In fact, the set up on the left is really an 8"mini-timbale coupled with a customised 8" effects snare that I can use as a timbale with the snares disengaged, plus a medium cowbell and a pair of agogo bells.
That's what I want them for exactly, and I made use of a small room in the back part of my house that puts me against the wall with the stereo and speakers etc.
I haven't familiarized myself with LP stuff like the ones I linked, don't know if they are good quality or not. They go for 170.00 US, but I found them with cowbell for 130.00 and have my hand on the button but can't find any reviews. What ya think?
