After buying the HTS - 8 Tambourine at PASIC, I could not be happier with this tambourine. Playing two programs with this tambourine inside - PERFECT. I'm also looking forward to the NEW Grover Pro Concert Castanets. Like all of Neil Grover's products ; EXCELLENT ! Gary Niehaus
This is the ultimate tambourine for Carmen's Danse Boheme and Britten's Four Sea Interludes. I definitely give this tambourine 2 "thumb rolls up"!
This has become my "go to" tambourine! Very clear, clean sound with plenty of rich, exotic color that works for Carmen softs to Trepak louds. I often take a couple of tambourines to the gig, but this is the one I end up playing
If your looking for a light and articulate tambourine this is definately the one to purchase. It reacts quickly and sounds amazing. Also it comes with a very good protective case for free.
These tambourines are some of the best I have heard and played. They have a very dry, crunchy sound and are perfect for some of the softer orchestral excerpts including scheherazade, and britain's 4 seas. I wouldn't recommend it as the only tambourine that you own, but if you already have one, this is a great addition to your collection.
