So we encountered a problem with a piece of gear. this little dinky tambourine that clamps on to your hi-hat stand. they were designed to be an accent to the hi-hat. when you step on the hi-hat pedal, it makes a little tambourine sound. it wasnt meant to be beat on with a stick. weve gone through two this tour already. they just keep breaking under pressure. my drummer wants a tambourine he can hit with a stick, mount on the stand, and isnt so big that it gets in the way. so what did i do? i took this idea....
made one quick trip to the home depot for an aluminium dowel, a flat piece, and some screws and nuts and then i sat in the back alley of a venue in rhode island and made this.....
i used the jingles from the crappy tambourine and a hi-hat clutch to go about mounting it, but all of the other stuff, i made in a freakin alley. i bent the dowel around a sewer pipe. now thats tech'in. this thing isnt going to be breaking any time soon.
