Jingle Sticks

[gonefishin]

So who here has a jingle stick or handbourine they use ?

What brand or type and how do you like it ?

Funny you'd mention this one, GF, since I've been trying to figure out how to play tambourine and congas at the same time on a song Quantum Fizz is working on...a cover of the Bobby Fuller Four's "I Fought the Law (and the Law Won)" in which I've strapped a tambourine to my right thigh and tried to strike the conga head and the tambourine at the same time...doesn't always work.

The tambourine I use is a plastic, 10" headless LP tambourine. If there's a way to make jingle sticks work, I'd try those instead, since the tambourine flips and flops around as I play, which is very painful (and doesn't do much for the sound!) If I was playin' the kit, a Hat Trick would be perfect but this is a blend of bongos and congas on this arrangement...

Bongo,

Have you tried a foot pedal and bracket for the tambourine? something like this perhaps, but with a tambourine instead of a cowbell?

[bongobro]

might have to go that route...see my "What pedal would YOU buy?" thread...

bongo you could put the tamborine on the floor and play it with your foot.

and i use a rythm tech half circul mounted on my hats, i found the hat trick didnt give the response i wanted but the tamborine was perfect.

B-Bro , I saw a guy play with the tambourine strapped to his lleft ankle and play . Sounded pretty good , just a couple pieces of tape and he was good to go .

Ive been lookin at getting a jingle stick and now see Regal makes a nice hickory hansbourine , Think Im gonna get myself one .

Drummerdavie , I have one of them too and use it all the time .
