world cultures, that placeemphasis on hand drum playingwhile embellishing the soundwith jingles, rings, or pellet bells.All of these drums can be cus-tomized in a variety of waysupon request; custom ordersmay be differently priced.

Judy Piazza

All of our jingleddrums share these

features:Our bent wood shells arehand made and turnedhere at our Vermont shopfrom the finest native hard-woods.

Our internal tuningtechnology preserves thetraditional appearance ofthe instrument whileallowing the player tomaintain a complete range

of motion, unencumberedby external hardware.A T-grip Allen wrench andtuning instructions areincluded.

HadjiraThis unique fusion instrument, conceived by

Jamey Haddad, combines essential featuresof a kanjira, riq, and pandeiro.

Like a kanjira, this drum features a smalldiameter frame with a single set of jinglesplayed primarily with the right hand, the lefhand used for pitch blending.

Additional jingle slots are positioned oneither side of the hand arch toaccommodate riq jingles. A third jingle set ipositioned at the top of the drum toaccommodate pandeiro- style playing orshaking.

An additional set of "hadjingles" is includedto extend the range of possible effects.

Our turned hardwood shell is 9 3/8"diameter, 2 7/8" high, with a precision cutbearing edge.

Remo's special cloth/mylar head isrecommended. We secure the head into anexterior groove which is then covered witha colored knit cord, a design that minimizesthe tendency of the head to pull away fromthe shell.

AISKanjiraThe Kanjira is a relatively recent innovation,probably less than 100 years old, notablyadded to concerts of the Indian Carnaticmusic system as recently as the 1930's andthen mostly as a supporting instrument for theMridangam (the double headedbarrel shaped drum). Todaythis small tambourine, with its

unique sound and extraordi-nary tonal range, is widelypopular and has anestablished voice of itsown in jazz, fusion andworld music.

Cooperman has collab-orated with virtuosoSouth Indian tambourineplayer Ganesh Kumar tointroduce a kanjira that

addressesthe evolv-ing role oftheinstrument,and thatenhancesthe rangeand func-tionality ofthe tradi-tionalinstrument.

Our steam bent hardwood shell is 7 7/8"dia. X 2 1/8" deep.With a distinctivebarrel-section profile for comfort andbalance, and a slightly largerdiameter to accommodate west-ern playing techniques, thisevolved kanjira is fitted with aspecial REMO cloth/mylar filmthat imitates the flexibility of thetraditional, but now endangered,lizard skin. A custom designed cop-per jingle adds just the rightcut.

Please refer to thesection onShared Features(see page 4)for otherspecifications

KanjiraDrum$145.00

GhavalInspired by a style of drum widely found inIran, Turkey, China, Azerbaijan, andAfghanistan,our Ghaval is designed to allowfor both deliberate shaking sounds and lightjingle sounds, with a bright high sound off

the head whether played in the hand-held or on-the-knee position.

Our ghaval shell, a turned

maple frame with a decora-tive exotic wood outer flitch,is 13 3/4" in diameter,2 5/8 deep, 1/2" thick.This shell features aprecision bearing edge, anda rolled bottom edge toreduce stress on the playersfinger joints.

Weve fitted our Ghaval with24 brass rings, divided into 6groups, each beginning and

ending with a small pellet bell.These rings and bells are mounted on

small hooks so that they make contact withthe wood shell, but not the head, and soavoid any unwanted buzz sound.

A half-moon arch cut in the shell at the 6oclock position allows for ease of play withboth hands. This design also enables astable grip for the less traditional

playing style, where the Ghaval is held flat(like a pandeiro) in one hand and shakenback and forth, so that the rings hit the insidof the shell in rhythm, while the drum isplayed with the other hand.

Remo's warm, responsive Renaissancehead is recommended. We secure the headinto an exterior groove which is thencovered with a colored knit cord, a designthat minimizes the tendency of the head to

pull away from the shell.Natural skin heads are available uponrequest.

TamburelloOur medium-sized Italianstyle tambourine fea-tures a unique set ofhand cut, dry jinglespaired with aloosely fitted syn-thetic head to cre-ate a drum thatemphasizes a

robust yet tinny-jingle dynamicon top of aforcefully playeddrum. Many regionaltamburello techniques maybe explored with this mid-rangemodel, buttypically the drum is gripped in theleft hand and the right hand is usedto produce fast, pivoting, triple-strokerolls moving from the thumb to theside of the hand to a full slap. Thedrum is designed to be light in

weight, with an arch grip, and thejingle slots staggered to emphasizecontinuous rolls. A REMO synthet-ic head produces a warm soundwith an excellent range of dynam-ics. Our turned hardwood shell is11 7/8 outside diameter x 2 11/16deep, with 9 pairs of heat treated,roughly hammered jingles.

Each of the 5 sets of cuppedjingles are dampened with a flat jingle to createthe traditional pandeiros dry, lively sound.

REMOs cloth/mylar head is preferred. Wesecure the head into an exterior groovewhich is then covered with a colored knitcord, a design that minimizes the tendency ofthe head to pull away from the shell.

Pandeiro Drum $182.00

DaffA large (21) diameter Daff expands our range ofPersian inspired tambourine drums. The large, shallowshell makes for a big drum sound, while anextensive complement of four interlocked, light brassrings are used to create an additionally big jingleeffect. The shell can be shaken to create a variety ofshaker rhythms and flourishes. When played with arhythmic, gymnastic rolling style, the rings tilt forwardto touch the skin creating a variety of scraping and

buzzing effects. The narrow bearing edge com-bined with a thin REMO synthetic head makes thisdrum surprisingly sensitive and precise for its size. Theshell is steam bent hardwood, 21 outside diameter x2 5/8 deep, and is mounted with a REMORenaissance or goatskin head; this daff is fitted withchains of interlocking rings (2 single rings stranded toa double ring).

AISVelezMediterrasianTambourines

Glen Velez designed this series ofdrums to explore a new context for

some traditional instruments. The threedrums clearly borrow their design

heritage from the South Indian kanjira, theItalian tamburello, and the Spanish pan-deroa, but they are not intended to be tra-ditional versions of those instruments. Thejingle pat tern and design features havebeen adapted to facilitate Glens innova-tive, cross-influenced style of playing. In anaccompanying booklet, Glen demon-strates the application of his Mediterrasianstyle using hand movements drawn fromtraditional sources, but with the rhythmicideas used, combined and shaped into abroadened context.
