About this item

• HANDS-FREE BEATS: the Meinl Foot Tambourine slips over your shoe so you can tap your foot to accent beats; it lets you easily add percussion while your hands are busy playing other instruments
• WHY IT MATTERS: layering your music with new sounds gives your performance movement, especially if you're playing solo acoustic gigs on guitar or backing a band on a cajon
• DRIVING THE SOUND: the tambourine effect comes from its four pairs of stainless steel jingles that have medium-bright tone and controllable volume; these are the same jingles used on some of our professional tambourines
• OF NOTE: you don't need exaggerated foot movements to get a solid sound; the jingles face forward to easily activate so you can play with comfort and accuracy
• UNIVERSAL FIT: wear over shoes, boots, or heels; the elastic band slips on easily with a secure fit so it doesn't slide off or move out of place during the middle of your song
• BY THE NUMBERS: the Siam oak body measures 4" L x 2 3/4" W x 1 1/2" H, and the whole instrument weighs 3 ounces
• THE BOTTOM LINE: it's easy for anyone to play, and you don't need any prior skill; recommended for any musician wanting to add percussion to their acoustic set
• THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality

About this item

• MAKES YOUR CYMBAL SIZZLE: Meinl Cymbal Bacon produces old school sizzle sounds on your ride, crash, or effects cymbal with no effort; it instantly changes your cymbal feel, live or in the studio
• WHY IT MATTERS: the alternative to getting a sizzle effect is drilling holes in your cymbal to add metal rivets, a dramatic procedure that permanently alters your cymbal; now you can get that sound in seconds and remove it just as fast
• HOW IT WORKS: the light stainless steel beaded chain reacts by bouncing on your cymbal while you play; this gives you a sizzling sustain with every note whether you play with sticks or brushes
• DRIVING ITS POPULARITY: it's the most easy-to-use cymbal sizzler; the minimalist washer design is all you need to secure it (no bulky plastic collars here), plus, you can use your original cymbal felts with it
• OF NOTE: there are two versions of Meinl Cymbal Bacon, Standard and Heavy; this is the Standard model that has slightly smaller beads and a lighter weight for subtle effects
• SAFE FOR ANY FINISH: your homemade sizzler isn't guaranteed to not damage or mark up your favorite ride cymbal; Meinl Cymbal Bacon is safe on all cymbal finishes and alloys
• BY THE NUMBERS: the chain measures 10 1/2" long to reach right to the edge of a 22" cymbal (but it works the same on smaller or larger cymbals too); the universal washer opening is 1/2" wide to fit all cymbal stands
