instrument and accessory catalog

R H Y T H M T E C H

Go Pro.Every professional knows that being “the best” is just the beginning.

No matter what style of music you play, or

where you’re playing - garages, rehearsal

halls, clubs, stadiums, arenas or theaters,

all serious musicians have one basic thing in

common: a constant desire to be the best

they can be. It’s this inner drive to achieve

quality and consistency that raises the bar,

sets the true professional apart from other

players and leaves a unique and lasting

contribution to the art.

At Rhythm Tech our mission is to bring the

same dedication, passion, skill and

intelligence to instrument design as great

musicians bring to every performance.

From the development of the original

Rhythm Tech Tambourine over 25 years ago

to the recent advances of the Pro, our goal

has been to make it easier for musicians to

be their best by perfecting traditional

instruments and creating new ones.

This current catalog contains dozens of

examples of our philosophy in action, from

our popular, innovative tambourines to the

fresh, exciting, musically relevant sounds of

Rhythm Tech’s Canz, Shakers and Hat Tricks

to the ergonomic improvements of the

Gemini dual Maracas and the hands-free

Skratchers and Trigger Triangle. Our new,

premium-quality collection of Metalworks

percussion instruments adds an entirely new

collection of cutting-edge sounds to the

drummer and percussionist’s bag of tricks

by combining old-school craftsmanship and

unconventional designs; then elevating them

to modern-day manufacturing standards.

For us, every musical ending is just another

opportunity for a fresh start. The thing that

keeps us going is the same thing that keeps

you going: we never stop thinking of ways

to improve what’s already great.

So don’t settle for just being the best.

Always strive to make it better. That’s what

Rhythm Tech and going Pro is all about.

4 Hand Held Instruments

We redesigned the handle, changed the jingle layout and the balance point. Wegave it a unique cushioned over-molded playing edge, and added more than15 other design innovations to create the new Rhythm Tech “Pro”Tambourine. The Pro has a lighter, more responsive and comfortablefeel with a sound that can only be described as “turbo-charged”.

Features

The Handle, a marvel of ergonomics not only feels great, butalso controls the instrument better so that less effort is required.

The Pro features an over-molded soft playing edge moldedonto both sides of the frame to form a seamless permanentplaying surface that provides unparalleled comfort.

Another new innovation, Stainless Steel jingles. Stainless Steelis a harder more durable material that has a truer fundamentalpitch. That means less overtones and longer sustain. Thesejingles have more volume to really cut through. The Pro is alsoavailable with our traditional Brass Jingles. Brass has a deeperchunkier sound that sounds great for recording.

We adjusted the center of gravity of the instrument ever so slightlyso that it would feel lighter and more responsive and we changed thelayout of the jingles. Now they are grouped on the arc to react faster sothat you get more sound with less effort.

The holes in the corners of the Pro easily slip onto the new ProMount*. Themount will fit onto a DSM2 or DSM Quad Mount (or any other device thatattaches to a stand and accepts a standard 3/8” rod), and allows the Pro toslip on and off so that it can instantly be converted to a mounted tambourine.

The Pro is packaged in it’s own tough Poly Propylene case. designed toprotect the Pro in travel situations. Like bouncing around a trap case or TrickBag filled with all your other essentials.
