Rikki Rockett Timber Tone Cowbell
Bring legendary rock energy and stunning visual flair to your percussion setup with the Rikki Rockett Signature Timber Tone Cowbell. Designed in collaboration with the iconic Poison drummer, this model reimagines the classic Timbale bell with a bold, glam-rock aesthetic. Moving away from traditional finishes, the bell features breathtaking anodized plating that produces a shifting rainbow effect of blues, purples, greens, and yellows, ensuring it catches stage lights from every angle.

At the heart of the Timber Tone’s professional performance is an innovative wooden block attached near the mouth of the bell, in Glam Green, of course. This feature is precision-engineered to reduce unwanted overtones and eliminate metallic harshness, resulting in a pure, focused, and full-bodied sound. This unique balance between high-volume projection and tonal clarity makes the bell an essential tool for both the intensity of live stadium performances and the precise requirements of the recording studio.

If the block wears down or breaks, percussionists can simply unscrew the fasteners and install a fresh one, instantly restoring the bell to its original performance standard. Finished with a vivid Glam Green Timber Block and stamped with the official Poison logo and Rikki Rockett’s signature, this bell is a durable, high-performance instrument that perfectly captures the essence of the artist’s style.

Sully Erna Timber Tone Cowbell
Toca Sully Erna Signature Timber Tone Mambo Bell
Designed for the heavy grooves and driving rhythms of Godsmack founder Sully Erna, this signature model is built for percussionists who demand a darker, more aggressive aesthetic. Based on the robust Toca Mambo bell, this version offers a heavier profile and a deep, authoritative voice that perfectly complements a rock or metal kit. Finished in a sleek black mirror chrome, the bell exudes an air of dark elegance while delivering the professional-grade projection required to cut through a wall of high-gain guitars.

At the core of the Timber Tone’s performance is the innovative wooden block mounted near the mouth of the bell. Finished in a matching shiny black, this block serves as a precision dampening system that reduces unwanted overtones and eliminates harsh metallic ringing. The result is a pure, focused, and punchy sound with a rich, full-bodied character that excels in both high-energy live environments and the precise conditions of a studio session.

Durability is a cornerstone of this signature instrument. The Timber Tone block is fully replaceable, allowing players to easily unscrew the fasteners and install a new block should it break, instantly restoring the bell to its original performance standards. This ensures the bell remains a long-term staple of your percussion rig.

Sully Erna Black Mamba Wood Rope Tuned Djembes
The Sully Erna Black Mamba Wood Djembes marks another collaboration with Sully Erna, the multi-talented founder and frontman of Godsmack. Built with traditional rope tuning and premium tonewoods, these instruments pay homage to the original Black Mamba drums Erna helped design, while introducing striking new visual details that elevate the series even further.

Staying true to its roots, the Black Mamba series retains the iconic background artwork fans instantly recognize. At the base of every drum, the unmistakable Godsmack “Star” logo stands as a bold signature. Completing the look is a fully black-dyed goatskin head, stamped with Sully Erna’s personal logo in contrasting white ink, creating a dramatic visual statement that matches the power and depth of the sound.

Designed for purists who value traditional tone and eco-conscious craftsmanship, the Black Mamba Wood Djembe is hand-carved from a single solid piece of plantation-grown mahogany. Each shell is kiln-dried and treated with twenty coats of teak oil to protect the wood and ensure long-lasting durability. Finished with hand-selected goatskin heads and authentic rope tuning, these djembes deliver rich warmth, deep bass, and vibrant slap tones. Available in 8-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch head sizes, the Black Mamba series offers professional performance with unmistakable style.

Talking Djembe
The Toca Talking Djembe is one of the most innovative percussion instruments in decades, redefining what a single drum can do. This groundbreaking hybrid blends the deep, resonant voice of a traditional djembe with the expressive, pitch-bending character of a talking drum, creating an entirely new instrument category. The result is a drum that can speak, sing, boom, and cut—often within a single phrase—opening up a world of rhythmic and melodic possibilities.

Shaped like a djembe but equipped with a full talking drum tension-cord system, the Talking Djembe delivers the full power, projection, and tonal depth players expect from a djembe while adding instant pitch control. By compressing the side cords, players can bend notes and create vocal-like inflections in real time, bringing a new level of expression to every performance.

What truly sets the Talking Djembe apart is its versatility. It can be played like a traditional djembe—seated, standing, or on a strap—using familiar hand techniques for slaps, tones, and deep bass. While seated, players can squeeze the side cords with their legs, altering pitch as they play with hands or stick for fluid, speech-like phrasing. It can also be played like a classic talking drum, tucked under the arm and struck with the included curved beater, with pitch controlled by arm pressure on the cords. Each playing method is fully functional, giving percussionists expressive control previously impossible in a single instrument.

The Talking Djembe incorporates the core performance features of Toca’s renowned djembe line. A hand-selected goatskin head delivers warmth, clarity, and authentic tone, while low-stretch Alpine rope with braided cores ensures stable tuning and powerful projection. The lightweight, seamless synthetic shell produces rich bass and crisp rim tones and is available in 10”, 12”, and 14” sizes. A rubber non-slip base provides stability during energetic playing.

Enhanced by Toca’s advanced talking drum technology, the tension-cord system offers a wider tonal range than typical talking drums, allowing for highly responsive pitch control. The included traditional-style curved beater with matching handle wrap completes the setup, enabling skilled players to articulate true speech-like phrasing.

Rooted in tradition yet boldly forward-thinking, the Talking Djembe invites drummers, educators, and creative musicians to explore new textures, new ensemble roles, and new rhythmic languages. It feels equally at home in drum circles, world music, fusion ensembles, classrooms, contemporary percussion settings, and experimental music.

The Talking Djembe isn’t just an evolution—it’s a genuinely new instrument. It blends the soul of the djembe with the voice of the talking drum. The moment you play it, you realize you’re not just getting two drums in one—you’re getting something completely new.

• Hybrid instrument combining djembe power with talking drum pitch control
• Speaks, sings, booms, and cuts within a single phrase
• Full talking-drum tension cord system on a djembe-shaped shell

Toca Timbale Stands
The Toca Timbale Stand and the Toca Pro Timbale Stand are designed with durability and performance in mind. Both models feature heavy-duty construction built to withstand the demands of live performance, rehearsal, and studio work. These stands deliver rock-solid stability while incorporating a thoughtful, player-focused upgrade to the cowbell mounting system.

The Pro Timbale Stand is constructed with heavy duty, chromed steel and is double-braced. It is to be used with our Custom Deluxe, Signature and Pro-Line timbales.

The Toca Timbale Stand has high quality, chromed steel and is single-braced. It is to be used with our Player’s and Elite Pro Timbales.

The key innovation shared across both models is the redesigned cowbell mounting bracket. Its position has been elevated between the drums, a subtle but impactful change that greatly improves ergonomics and ease of use. By relocating the mounting point, players gain better access and visibility, making setup faster and more comfortable.

This enhanced design also streamlines the locking process. Elevating the bracket reduces the risk of accidental finger or knuckle contact when tightening the securing nut – an issue common with traditional, cramped mounting locations. The result is a smoother, safer adjustment experience that lets percussionists focus fully on their performance instead of hardware hassles.

With rugged construction and a smart, player-driven design upgrade, the Toca Timbale Stand and Toca Pro Timbale Stand offer dependable support and improved usability for serious timbale players.

• Rugged construction designed for the rigors of live performance, rehearsals, and studio sessions
• Elevated Cowbell Mount – positioned higher between the drums for better visibility and faster access
• Improved layout provides a more natural playing position and reduces setup time
• The elevated mount increases clearance, preventing pinched fingers or scraped knuckles when tightening the securing nut
• Engineered to provide a firm, wobble-free foundation for serious percussionists

TRX Introduces NEO “Alternative Ride” Series
Developed and field-tested in conjunction with Los Angeles-based Hip-Hop and R&B drummer/producer YNG Josh, the NEO Series from TRX Cymbals is a new line of Crash-Rides, China-Rides, Stack-Rides and Thunder-Rides that have been designed to fill the musical needs of contemporary drummers. 

“TRX is always looking to support today’s drummers and today’s drumming,” says Josh. “In modern music, traditional Ride cymbals are often being replaced by cymbals that are more musically relevant. The NEO Series is perfect for drummers who want to stay in front of this popular and fast-moving trend.”

Years ago, as Rock ‘n’ Roll and Rhythm & Blues (R&B) were replacing Jazz as the mainstream of popular music, timekeeping migrated from the ride cymbal to the hi-hats. This led to new types of hi-hats being created to meet drummers’ changing needs. Today, a similar transition is in progress with modern, Pop and Hip-Hop drummers moving timekeeping from hi-hats to a new class of large, crashable, “Alternative” Ride cymbals and other types of stacks and effects. 

Thin to Extra-Thin for a dark, warm and a little trashy sound along with heavy bells for a distinctive “ping”, the NEO series features a 2-tone finish and includes: 

• Crash-Rides with removable rivet holes (18”, 20”, 21”, 22”, 23”, 24”)
• China-Rides with inverted bells and removable rivet holes (18”, 20”, 22”, 24”)
• Stack-Rides with a heavily vented top cymbal and a medium weight bottom (16”, 18”, 20”)
• Thunder-Rides with a proprietary pattern of asymmetrical venting (18”, 20”, 22”)
