Timbal - product guide

Timbals are available in various sizes. In order to find out which timbal is the right one for you, have a look at a couple of aspects: If you like a strong bass sound, you should choose a timbal with a diameter of at least 13" or 14". The typical-sounding open tones and sharp slaps are also easier to play on a larger diameter. We therefore recommend to choose your timbal as large as possible! A height of 70cm is suitable for players up to 1,68m, if you are taller, you should get a timbal with 90 cm height. Take a look where you like playing the timbal - at the height of your hips or lower.

Weight, sound and appearance is what we´re looking at here. The weight of each instrument differs depending on the manufacturers and the used materials but in general you can say: Aluminium timbals weigh less than wooden timbals and are more suitable for resisting the stronger force effect due to high pitching. The sound of aluminium timbals is sharp and dirty. Wooden timbals have softer overtones and less sustain. Aluminium timbals come with shiny or with brushed surfaces. Wooden timbals are offered by various brands in either natural look or painted in different colours.

Most timbals are equipped with a rounded so-called comfort rim. If your playing technique is advanced, you can also try a simple rounded 4-6 mm steel rim, though this one is not adecuate for hich pitching.

As an answer to the trend of pitching timbals as high as technically possible, some companies have developed a tension system with 16 hooks. The effect is as simple as ingenious: When tuning the timbal up high, the force is spread equally onto the shell, which is how such a high pitching is possible in the first place.

14'' x 80cm timbal - compact size for big time soundJust what we needed: the perfect in-between-size between the standard 90cm timbal and the short 70cm timbal for shorter sambistas.This 80cm timbal is an ideal size if you are looking for a compact timbal without having to cut back on sound quality. 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.

Timbal 14''x90cm red

14'' x 90 cm timbal with 16 high-tension hooks, aluminium shellCrisp tuning, clear and smacky slaps, powerful open tones, rich basses – this model from the top brand Timbra with 16 hooks can withstand the highest tuning! Many Axé Pop bands, Samba Reggae blocos and also Samba schools in Rio have been following the trend of tuning timbals extremely high for quite some years. In order to better distribute the high forces that occur when tuning high and to avoid overloading the shell, the tension is distributed to the shell by using more hooks. An additional reinforcing ring helps to balance the pressure. The shell is built for tunings that would not be possible with a traditional timbal. Very well made instrument.More material, like tension hooks and reinforcing elements, naturally adds some weight. But once the timbal is on the stand on stage, the extra weight is no longer an issue – every gram is worth it for the sound! And with a good strap, you can still carry it comfortably as usual.A true visual standout and a tonal masterpiece, robust and high-quality, crafted in the authentic Bahian style – this timbal fits perfectly into diverse musical worlds, from Samba Reggae blocos and Rio style batucadas to Brazilian, jazz, pop, or world music bands.

Timbal 14''x90cm red

Timbra

Timbal 14''x90cm red

14'' x 90 cm timbal with 16 high-tension hooks, aluminium shellCrisp tuning, clear and smacky slaps, powerful open tones, rich basses – this model from the top brand Timbra with 16 hooks can withstand the highest tuning! Many Axé Pop bands, Samba Reggae blocos and also Samba schools in Rio have been following the trend of tuning timbals extremely high for quite some years. In order to better distribute the high forces that occur when tuning high and to avoid overloading the shell, the tension is distributed to the shell by using more hooks. An additional reinforcing ring helps to balance the pressure. The shell is built for tunings that would not be possible with a traditional timbal. Very well made instrument.More material, like tension hooks and reinforcing elements, naturally adds some weight. But once the timbal is on the stand on stage, the extra weight is no longer an issue – every gram is worth it for the sound! And with a good strap, you can still carry it comfortably as usual.A true visual standout and a tonal masterpiece, robust and high-quality, crafted in the authentic Bahian style – this timbal fits perfectly into diverse musical worlds, from Samba Reggae blocos and Rio style batucadas to Brazilian, jazz, pop, or world music bands.
