Pags Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 The question is simple. Will this work if mounted on a foot pedal instead of on a hi-hat? uWill it take the impact of the bass pedal? Thanks! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0745BNCSP/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AKM33YJGBLTPH&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 You want to know if you can mount it to a bass drum pedal? You mean a second pedal that isn't also beating a bass drum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pags Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 Yes. I keep it to the left of the hi hat pedal, and is completely independent of the base drum pedals. At present, I have a cowbell on it I hit with my left foot but I've been tired of having the cowbell there and want it paired up with it's brother on the actual kit again. Plus, I had an old LP hi-hat tambourine but it broke. So, perfect time to get a cheap replacement and switch things up. And, I ways hated it on the hi-hat. I called a local music shop and he was like, "Hey, better to experiment and go for it than not to try it." I agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I'm not a drum guy, but it could be a fun experiment. Neil would have those electronic trigger pedals around his kit, and he'd have a tambourine programmed into one of them. You'd hear it in his solo and on Double Agent. You'd be doing the same thing but with an actual tambourine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PW_Guitarist Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) DW has a self-contained unit: https://www.long-mcquade.com/176244/Drums/Hardware/Drum-Workshop/2000-Series-Tambourine-Pedal.htm If you already have the tambourine and/or pedal, all you need is the Gajate bracket: https://www.lpmusic.com/products/hardware/mounts-and-brackets/pro-gajate-bracket The high-impact plastic frame tambourine should be able to take the abuse of a bass drum pedal beater. I would not recommend using a wooden tambourine with a pedal. Edited October 6, 2023 by PW_Guitarist Typo on Gajate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
launchpad67a Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 If you're only interested in single hits, then your mount idea might work. But if you really want effective tambourine playing, then the DW pedal is the way to go. They're awesome! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
