Drumkit or multi-percussion players can now enjoy LP's extraordinarily
popular steel Mini Timbales in regular or John Dolmayan model. Either
way, they're geared to percussion, speaking of their convenient minimal
acreage requirements, modest cost, tough steel construction, professional
tone, and razor projection. Choose between the newly improved LP Mini
Timbales or the LP John Dolmayan Mini Timbales Pack.
LP Mini Timbales have long been the "secret weapon" of drumset
players and drum corps marchers. The newly improved LP Mini Timbales
harness that numbing bright rimshot clang and long sustain inherent
in premium steel shells. While the scale is smaller, the drums observe
standards established by Tito Puente's legendary LP drums. LP Mini
Timbales are popular pairings of 6" and 8" diameter chrome
plated drums, both 3-1/4" in depth. LP designers have tweaked
the mechanics by making them drum key tunable. While no one has tampered
with the beautiful steel shell, the mounting bracket is bolstered for
the better. Chrome-plated and heavy duty, it now facilitates secure
mounting of accessories on a standard-sized rod. The Cuban style tuners
have been replaced with brass lus that incorporate drum set style rims
and tuning. Tilt timbales to taste and you're off.
To get an audio "glimpse" of the potential of the LP John
Dolmayan Mini Timbales Pack, give a quick listen to the title track
off System of a Down's album, Hypnotize. The new Dolmayan pack consists
of a pair of newly improved LP Mini Timbales and a bonus 5-3/4" Cha
Cha Cowbell. The timbales are fashioned after LP's full-sized Tito
Puente Timbales, simply scaled down to 6" and 8" diameters.
The 3º" deep nickel plated steel shells are retooled for
durability and precise pitch adjustment. The jet-black nickel coating
adds dryness-and curb appeal. LP John Dolmayan Mini Timbales deliver
traditional center-of-head tones, rimshot clangs, side-of-shell articulation,
and the sheer brute penetration needed to shake loose the guitarist's
teeth. Similarly, the included 5-3/4" Cha-Cha Cowbell has the
requisite high-pitched bite to disrupt the guitarist's shredding-wicked!
A black coated bracket with standard receiving rod secures both timbales
and bell.
The LP John Dolmayan Mini Timbales Pack, in John's signature black
nickel, looks like nothing else out there. How do they sound? Great!
