Description
Overview
The Tycoon Percussion Replacement 13″ Timbale Head is a professional-grade replacement skin designed to restore the crisp, cutting attack and resonant tone of your timbales. Engineered for durability and consistent tension, this head ensures your percussion instrument maintains its sonic integrity during intense performances and rigorous practice sessions.
Key Details
- Precision Fit: Specifically designed for 13-inch timbale shells to ensure a secure, airtight seal.
- Optimized Tone: Crafted to deliver the bright, metallic “crack” and high-frequency projection characteristic of authentic timbale playing.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand high tensioning requirements without sacrificing playability or longevity.
- Lightweight Design: Weighing only 0.59 lbs, it provides a responsive feel under the stick.
Use Cases
- Maintenance: Ideal for replacing worn, pitted, or stretched heads to restore original factory resonance.
- Genre Versatility: Perfect for Latin, Salsa, and Caribbean music where a sharp, piercing timbale sound is essential for cutting through a loud ensemble.
- Studio Recording: Use a fresh head to eliminate unwanted overtones and ensure a clean, punchy signal for recording engineers.
Installation
To install the replacement head, remove the existing head and clear any debris from the bearing edge of the shell. Place the new Tycoon head centered over the drum and insert the tension rods. Tighten the lugs in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to ensure even tension across the surface, preventing warping and ensuring a stable pitch.
Compatibility
This replacement head is compatible with any timbale or percussion shell with a 13-inch diameter. It is specifically designed for use with Tycoon Percussion timbales but will fit other brands of the same size.
