Product Overview
Overview
The Tycoon Percussion Replacement 15″ Timbale Head is a professional-grade replacement surface designed to restore the crisp, cutting tone of your percussion setup. Engineered for durability and consistent response, this head ensures your timbales maintain the high-tension brilliance and sharp attack required for authentic Latin and Caribbean rhythms.
What Stands Out
Key Details
- Precision Diameter: Specifically sized at 15 inches to provide a secure, airtight fit on compatible timbale shells.
- High-Tension Build: Constructed to withstand the extreme tensioning required for the characteristic “crack” of a timbale.
- Consistent Tone: Manufactured by Tycoon Percussion to deliver a balanced harmonic profile across the entire striking surface.
- Physical Specifications: Lightweight design weighing approximately 0.67 lbs with a slim profile for efficient resonance.
Best For
Use Cases
- Maintenance & Repair: Ideal for replacing worn, pitted, or stretched heads that have lost their elasticity and tonal clarity.
- Genre-Specific Performance: Perfect for Salsa, Mambo, and Latin Jazz performers who require a bright, piercing sound that cuts through a loud ensemble.
- Studio Recording: Use a fresh head to eliminate unwanted overtones and ensure a clean, punchy signal for studio tracking.
Setup Notes
Installation
To install the replacement head, remove the existing head and clear any debris from the bearing edge of the drum shell. Place the new Tycoon head centered over the shell and insert the tension rods. Tighten the lugs in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to ensure even pressure across the hoop, gradually increasing tension until the desired pitch and brilliance are achieved.
Compatibility Check
