Overview
The Latin Percussion 15″ Plastic Timbale Head is a professional-grade replacement head designed specifically for timbales. Engineered by Latin Percussion, a leader in percussion instrumentation, this head provides the precise tension and response required to achieve the signature bright, cutting attack and clear resonance associated with authentic Latin percussion.
Key Details
- Professional Material: Constructed from high-quality plastic to ensure durability and consistent tonal response across the entire surface.
- Optimized Diameter: Specifically sized at 15″ to fit standard timbale shells.
- Tonal Profile: Designed to deliver the sharp, piercing “crack” and high-frequency projection necessary for cutting through loud ensembles.
- Build Quality: Lightweight yet resilient construction to withstand high-tension tuning.
Use Cases
- Salsa and Latin Jazz: Ideal for percussionists requiring a crisp, high-pitched sound for traditional timbale patterns.
- Live Performance: Perfect for stage environments where maximum projection and volume are required to be heard over brass and percussion sections.
- Studio Recording: Provides a clean, defined attack that is easy to mix and capture in a professional recording environment.
Installation
Installation is straightforward for those familiar with drum head replacement. Ensure the old head is completely removed and the bearing edge of the timbale shell is clean and free of debris. Center the new 15″ plastic head over the shell and tighten the tension rods in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to ensure even pressure across the hoop, preventing warping and ensuring an accurate pitch.
Compatibility
This head is compatible with any 15-inch diameter timbale or percussion shell designed for plastic heads. Please verify your instrument’s shell diameter before purchase to ensure a proper fit.
