- Durable Construction: Built to withstand high-tension tuning and heavy striking.
- Precise Fit: 15-inch diameter ensures a secure seat on the drum shell for consistent tuning stability.
Best For
Use Cases
- Live Performance: Ideal for percussionists needing a reliable, high-projection head that cuts through a loud brass section.
- Studio Recording: Provides a clean, focused attack with minimal unwanted overtones for a polished recording.
- Maintenance: The perfect replacement for worn or stretched heads to restore the original factory brilliance of your timbales.
Setup Notes
Installation
To install the Matador Timbale Head, remove the existing head and clear any debris from the bearing edge of the drum shell. Place the new head over the shell, ensuring it is centered. Tighten the tension rods in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to ensure even pressure across the head. Gradually increase tension until the desired pitch and snap are achieved.
