Toca Jingle Shake 2 In 1 TambourinePercussionists are sure to flip over Toca's new Jingle Shake!
This compact instrument combines a tambourine and a shaker in one easy-to-hold package. Top and bottom 4 1/4 inch diameter wooden disks are separated by a 1 5/8 inch tall plastic frame that holds four sets of nickel-plated tambourine jingles. Between the disks sits a small shaker cylinder about the size and shape of an old-fashioned 35mm film container.
Toca Jingle Shake Features:
- Shake it up and down and it sounds like a tambourine, with some added high and dry tones
- Shake it from side to side and it sounds like a small shaker, with just the slightest amount of metallic sustain
- The shaker container can be completely removed from the tambourine frame, allowing the tambourine and the shaker to be played separately
The Jingle Shake is capable of producing a wide variety of sounds, simply by means of how the player holds and moves it. Shake it up and down and it sounds like a tambourine, with some added
high and dry tones contributed by the shaker. Shake it from side to side and it sounds like a small shaker, with just the slightest amount of metallic sustain contributed by the jingles. Additional effects can be created by squeezing the shaker container or muting the tambourine jingles with the fingers.
But let’s not forget the
gadget factor. That factor gives the Jingle Shake additional sonic flexibility. To begin with, the shaker container can be completely removed from the tambourine frame, allowing the tambourine and the shaker to be played separately. In addition, the shaker container has a removable screw top that allows the player to adjust the type and amount of fill. This is sure to appeal to percussionists who love to
fine tune the sound of their toys.
The versatility, lightweight yet durable construction, and professional-looking flat black finish of the Jingle Shake make it a great add-on to any percussion setup. This is one terrific musical gadget!
