A drum reportedly designed by Carlinhos Brown when he formed Timbalada, the band that bears the drum's name, the timbal is a similar concept to the West African djembe. However, the timbal is much lighter in weight and has a plastic head that keeps consistent tension in even the dampest weather. These drums are incredibly loud and can be heard even in a full bateria.

Our Izzo 14" x 90cm alum timbal was spec'd by Espirito and is an Espirito exclusive with strong 2mm rim and 8 lugs for even tensioning on body.

We also carry the popular 16-lug version in the same dimensions.
