Gon Bops Timbale Snare Drum

Gon Bops has released the 8-in . Timbale Snare drum .
Blending the textures and accents of a traditional Latin timbale with a sensitive , long-range snare throw-off , the new Timbale Snare provides the ability to play high-tuned timbale accents with a snare back-beat . Its unique , long-range , sensitive snare throw-off allows the player to slowly dial in snare sound , from a loose rattle to a tight , hip-hop backbeat .
The Timbale Snare offers the ability to play a very wide range of tones , from snappy backbeats to cutting timbale fills . Constructed with a lightweight aluminum shell , the drum is easy to pack and carry and to incorporate into a drum kit or full-size timbale set-up .
