General information

Contrary to the opinion of many percussionists in Europe, in Salvador the timbal is not a typical instrument in samba reggae or in the drum groups of the Blocos Afro. Either the timbal is completely absent or it is only used for a short time during stage performances: here and there to accompany a vocal intro, here and there in a break in a question-and-answer game with the bateria, and that's it. In Europe, on the other hand, the timbal is often used across styles within a group. Samba-reggae grooves, like ilê aiyê rhythms, are often spiced up with the sharp sounds of the timbal .

The timbal was popularised by Carlinhos Brown and his group Timbalada. With this group, the name of the instrument says it all: Timbal ada. The ending -ada is used in Portuguese to emphasise that there is a lot of something. And there are a lot of timbals in Timbalada. During timbalada street parades, there are often several rows of timbaleiros in front of the bateria, which have a decisive influence on the overall sound.

Tips and tricks

Maintenance

Occasional light oiling of the threads on the tensioning hooks will keep the nuts moving smoothly. Relaxing the head after playing will prevent the shell from warping.

Tuning

Starting with the axé bands from Bahia, an extremely high tuning of the timbal has become more and more popular. In the past, 6 tension hooks were standard, but nowadays you often find timbales with 8, 10 and 16 tension hooks. In this way, the great force generated by a high skin tuning and exerted on the shell is evenly distributed.

It is best to tune the drum 'crosswise'. This means that you start by changing the tuning on one tensioning hook, then move to the opposite tensioning hook to loosen or tighten the nut. Then you put the wrench on the next hook, and so on, until you have reached the desired pitch. If you place a hand in the middle of the head and strike the head with a stick close to the tensioning hook, you will hear the sound the head makes at that point. This allows you to check the pitch at each hook. The aim is to have the same pitch at each hook.
Using a spanner with a ratchet function makes tuning easier.

Timbal aluminium 14''x90cm

Timbal 14'' x 90 cm - aluminium with 16 hooksIn the last couple of years, the Axé pop-bands but also the street blocos have stuck to the trend of constantly pitching up their timbals as high as they possibly could. To keep up with the high technical requirements somebody clever came up with the idea to spread the power that presion produces on the instrument by installing more tension hooks. So now there are timbals with 16 (!!) hooks. Like this it is possible to tune up the nylon heads to a maximum without risking a deshaped drum. The power by pression acting on the shell through the tension hooks is spread on the body equally while the tuning remains at a maximum and the drum stays physically stable.Izzo's 16-hook timbal has fantastcally sharp open tones, whipping slaps and deep and strong bass sounds in the center of the head. The slightly higher weight is easily compensated through the modern sound qualities.An outstanding 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 14‘’ x 80 cm - crisp street timbal sound in a compact intermediate size80cm high shells are the perfect intermediate size between the 90cm standard timbal and the short 70cm timbal.Ideal if you are looking for a compact instrument without having to compromise on sound. The diameter is 14‘’ - the same as the full-size timbals, except that the shell is slightly shorter. In contrast to wooden timbals, aluminium always sounds a little sharper and punchier. Crisp slaps, powerful open tones and rich basses characterise this compact instrument. With an aluminium shell, you don't have to worry about wind and rain, even during a carnival parade. With 6 hooks, the timbal is more suitable for regular tuning and not excessively high pitches, but it has less hardware than timbals with many hooks and therefore weighs considerably less. Well built, crisp sound, robust and can be used in a variety of styles.
