I belive you answered your own question. I often mount a tambourine to the hat stand via a bracket. It works great for stick hits and can create jingle when I depress the pedal with enough force. Kinda fatten the back beat.
all the best...
First thread started here, forgive me if this has been discussed, but I couldn't find anything come up on a search...
When mounting drum accessories to cymbal stands (crashes, rides), especially the "jangly" ones (tams, ribbons crashers, etc.,), how do you guys keep the accessory from setting off the cymbal (or do you)? Is there a dampening or insulation technique?
I've tried to move the accessory as far away from the cymbal as possible, but this makes little/no difference. The only place I've found suitable is the hi-hat stand - very little-to-no unwanted noise. This is probably the best place for them anyway, because when I close the hats, I get just a little tam jingle, which ain't a bad thing.
Thanks a bunch in advance for any advice you can give a new drummer.

Thanks for the feedback. I imagine you're right. I just like to have options if I can. In this case, I'm not entirely sure I have any.
I've seen people cut up and use old mouse pads as an isolation material between the clamp and the stand. You can secure it with some tape, just to hold it around the stand, then attach the clamp. Mouse pads are pretty cheap and worth a try.
Love my Gretsch sound!
That's an interesting idea. It makes sense that the vibration is traveling through the stand pipe and that's what's setting off the cymbal. Thanks.
i have a tambourine on a bracket on my hi-hat stand, it doesn't make any noise unless i hit it, opening/closing the hats has no effect on it.

My golden rule when it comes to drumset mountable tambourines either with my acoustic kits or percussion set ups......never clamp together with drums on the same stand, always on the hi-hat stand or even on a small light stand separate from the whole set up. When I do the occasional rack set up for a percussion rig, I keep the windchimes and tambourine together on a separate light boom stand, mounting the windchimes on the end of the boom arm, and clamp the tambourine onto one of the telescoping sections of that stand via an L-arm and multi-clamp.
