Dolmayan Signature Mini
Timbales
 John
Dolmayan, whose drumming and percussive punch has defined System of a Down's
sound, has collaborated with LP, resulting in the introduction of the John
Dolmayan Percussion Signature Mini Timbales with Cowbell and Mount Pack.
John Dolmayan has long used a collection of LP percussion instruments on
stage and in the studio to great effect. The mini timbales were designed
to be the perfect addition to the drumset, in response to current trends
in augmenting drumkits and percussion.
The Dolmayan Pack consists of a pair of LP845-K
Mini Timbales and a
bonus Cha-Cha bell. The timbales have a special provenance. They're
fashioned after LP's heritage full-sized Tito Puente Timbales but simply
reduced in size to 6" and 8" diameters. The 3º" black nickel plated steel shells are fitted with traditional Cuban-style tuners. Both drums produce bright percussive effects, as well as traditional center-of-head, rimshot and shell timbres. Their inherent dryness enables them to blend with a variety of percussion and drums. In addition they're armed with a reserve of bright harmonics for penetration (remembering that Mr. Dolmayanís drumming cuts though SOADís sonic blast!). To add that upper register effectiveness, the included Cha-Cha Cowbell emits a high-pitched chime with moderate overtones.
The Dolmayan Mini Timbales include a heavy duty black powder-coated mount-all
bracket (LP236C) with a 3/8" diameter
z rod, which will securely seat both timbales and cowbell, seamlessly integrating
them with a drumset and locking them in place.
LP is pleased to announce yet another top artist collaboration that
has resulted in a system useable by all drummers in all styles.
