Nice add-on for the drummer
I've been testing the LP Tambourine for a few weeks now and I think this should give me a good basis to rate this product.
First off: think about your style of playing resp. the genre that your band plays. You won't need that little beauty, if you're playing for a metal act. On the one hand, it does not really fit to that style (ok, subjective opinion!) on the other hand, the tambourine's sound level is simply too soft. That might also be the only real downside I could discover for myself. The "bells" could be a little bit heavier to produce a more dominant sound. For a smooth Jazz-groove, it might be perfect, but if you want to integrate it into a rock-groove, you should be aware not to hit too heavy!
However, the system of this tambourine really consoles me for that! As a drummer, you do not always want to take off the tambourine, once you play a song, where you don't need it and for the next song, you have to remount the tambourine on the hihat again. This tambourine is the solution to all those problems. Just press the black button on the top of the tambourine and it's completely locked, literally nothing is moving. Press the button again and you have the full sound going. Beautiful!
Besides that, the whole instrument is pretty lightweight, so there is absolutely no influence on the height of the top cymbal once you open the hihat.
In addition, the tambourine looks pretty cool with that nice red color.
So, for me as a drummer in a (blues-) rock band, this is the perfect way to make a nice groove even more interesting. I would definitely buy it again!

Perfection
Lound and cutting. Being able to turn it off and on is a great bonus and works seamlessly.

Amazing click tambourine from LP
I just do not find enough words for that how happy I am with this product. I have used it in several live gigs as percussionist and it truly is amazing product ans specially because of it's click or on/off feature so you can enable or disable your tambourine any time you want. Additionally I like to ride it with drumstick instead of hi-hat to have some different sounds in percussion playing. Sound quality is very good in my opinion and it is quite loud as well for this size. If you play your hi-hat quietly enogh then you don't need to disable tambourine because it will not make any sound anyway. I really hope that this product is also durable when playing or riding it with drumsticks. Anyway highly recommended for all percussionists or drummers. I carry it now always with me.

Great Product Great Service
This is a great little Hi Hat Tambourine. Its robust, easy to use and the Click to lock facility is brilliant if you want to isolate the jingles quickly for a particular song. Well worth it.

Excellent sound!
Funky, chippy sound when closed, wide crisp sound when opened.
Very easy to handle and install. Quick system to switch from closed to open plus the colour definitely draws attention!
I-m very satisfied with this product and I highly recommend it!

Genius!
I got this tambourine as in a couple of settings I play in regularly I like to use a tambourine just on the 2 and 4 for example, but I never quite had time to add or remove a tambourine from my hi hat rod between songs, so gave up on it. Then this came along, and now I can turn the jingles on or off between beats - not between songs! It makes a cool sound when you hit it too, but my use for it is mainly just for the hi hat foot. Brilliant though, loving it!

Awesome little edition to my setup
I love this Tambourine because of the click-in feature, this is an awesome little feature that helps you quickly change sound without having to fiddle about.
It's very durable and has a really nice sound which cuts in the sound nicely.
