Utilizing a Remo Renaissance head, SoundArt Synthetic Head tambourines provide exceptional feel, tone and response, matching or exceeding the similar qualities of calf. Resisting annoying fluctuations in humidity typically disastrous for calfheads, the Remo Renaissance head effortlessly maintains the consistency of head tension, and quality of sound, for the lifespan of the tambourine. The body of Black Swamp's Synthetic Head Series tambourine is manufactured with a steam bent, solid ash shell. Black Swamp Percussion lathes the shells perfectly round in house, ensuring a pure tone and exact fit for the Remo Renaissance head. The ergonomic handle design provides a comfortable grip on the instrument, and the dual sized jingle slots allow more seamless shake rolls. All SoundArt Series tambourines are custom fit with hand-hammered jingles for a full and unique sound. Available in three distinct jingle types, Chromium 25™, Phosphor Bronze and German Silver.
