BLACK SWAMP PERCUSSION
Black Swamp Percussion has launched a new line headless tambourines featuring the same components and materials used in their World Class orchestral tambourine models.
A solid ash shell is available in single or double row options. Modifications to Black Swamp’s standard shell depth reduces weight and increases maneuverability. A selection of four distinct jingle configurations is available for both single and double row versions: Chromium 25, German Silver, Aged Brass and a Chromium 25 / Phosphor Bronze combination.
Each model also includes a permanent rubber guard installed to both protect the shell when playing with a stick, or protect performer’s hands when holding and playing.

SABIAN
As part of SABIAN’s on-going Vault Drop program, where new and innovative cymbal designs are launched initially on a limited basis, it has released a new, striking, wide lip China cymbal.
As the name suggests, the cymbal has a massive lip that encompasses half of the cymbal. Says head of SABIAN Research and Development, Randy Ross, “This larger edge allows you to dig in for a louder, roaring sound. Unlike most other Chinas, you can also play it lightly to conjure a softer sound, reminiscent of a crash or suspended cymbal.”
Adding further, “Despite its size, the HHX Wide Lip China is quite controllable and capable of riding or crashing. The unique bell and edge sounds can be played separately and together for great effects. And furthermore, it also works well played with mallets.”
Like all SABIAN Vault Drops, the 22” HHX Wide Lip China is available for a limited time only, starting from today.
