80cm Timbals - ByeBye compromise

14" x 80cm Timbals - our new intermediate size. Sounds like a compromise, believe me, it's not! For timbaleiros who don't want to make any sacrifices with sound! Compact with the same diameter, full sound quality with less weight, check it out!

Our new standard sizes in the timbal assortment: 70cm, 80cm and 90cm

If you feel, a 90cm timbals might be too big for you, but the sound of a 70cm timbal does not satisfy you, now is your chance to compromise without compromising: 80 cm full load with authentic 14" diameter. The resonance body is shortened by only 10cm, which makes the instrument more compact, easier to handle and more pleasant to play, but delivers sound just like the big ones.

Sounds amazing? We think so too! From now on we have a broad selection of 80cm Timbals from different brands with matching bag in our assortment. We will have Timbra's special varnishes come in shortly!

Who are 80cm Timbals for?

For everybody, for whom the 90cm length is too massive. The resonance body of a 90cm is bigger, but with the diameter being the same and the difference of the shell size is only 10cm, you will hardly hear any differences.
For every timbaleiro who plays lots of parades. 80cm Timbals are noticeably more compact, you will appreciate this especially while walking with the drum.
For groups that perform dance choreographies in their program. Compact. Compact. Compact. Can't say often enough.
For musicians who have to look at space and weight. 10cm sounds little, but can really make a difference in a full boot. 80cm delivers what you need on stage: show effect and top sound!
For youth bands: Obviously - saving weight with full sound also benefits young sambistas.
For everyone who wants to play authentically: No one will notice visually that your 80cm timbal is slightly shorter than the big originals.

We can think of many more reasons that speak for the 80cm size.

We look forward to hearing from you,

The diameter is 14‘’, the same as the taller 90cm timbals, only the shell is slightly shorter. In contrast to wooden timbals, aluminium always sounds a little sharper and punchier. Timbals with 16 tension rods can be tuned really high, the high number of hooks distribute the forces evenly across the shell. Rich and crisp slaps, powerful open tones and full basses characterise this compact instrument. With an aluminium shell, you don't have to worry about rainy weather, even during a carnival parade.Many Axé pop bands as well as traditional blocos have been following the trend of tuning timbals extremely high for years now. More tension hooks transfer the high forces generated when pitching the instrument very high to the shell. This invention paved the way for this trend: The shell is built for extremely high tunings that could not be reached with a more traditional timbal.More material (tension hooks, reinforcing elements) naturally also adds weight, but at 80cm you save a few grams thanks to the shorter shell.Crisp, high sound, robust and stylish to play in a variety of styles.

Timbal aluminium 14''x80cm

The diametre is a standard 14'' - same as the high timbals, only that the body is shorter. The Contemporanea PRO series builds with thick-walled aluminium giving their instruments a full and voluminous sound. 16 hooks and the specially designed timbal head make this timbal super attractive and also allow the the typical extra-high Bahia style pitching without any efforts. Aluminium timbals sound sharper than wooden timbals. If you play many outdoor gigs with your bloco, you'll find the sound of this aluminium timbal easier to recognise as it is more present. If it rains much where you live, no more worries about your instrument as aluminium timbals are really easy to maintain and they don't give much about humidity. Keep in mind that 16 tension hooks mean a lot of hardware, you will notice this in the weight of the instrument, even though this 80cm version already saves you almost 1 kg compared to the 90cm / 16 hook model. If you plan to walk many street parades, you might be better off with a lighter model. The polished aluminium is definitively an eye-catcher, and the chromed comfort rim protects your hands.
