EV Productions - Hand Tambourine

It was recorded approximately a month ago with my first large gold dual diaphragm condenser microphone. I felt so excited about it and recorded a lot of Tambourine material through it. Even that small diaphragm mics are usually used for such percussion, this large diaphragm one sounded really amazing and neutral.

These samples are however not clinically dry. Since the mic was omnidirectional, it captured also some room acoustic. However it's subtle so you shouldn't have troubles applying IRs.

No postprocessing (EQ, Reverb, ...) has been made. Everything is kept as much natural as it is. And also no GUI, but that's not necessary

Features:
- 96kHz 24bit samples giving full headroom for tambourine sound
- 24 repetitions for hits & shakes (random)
- 32 RR repetitions for swings (sequence)
- 100% royalty free, available under CC BY-SA
- Kontakt 5.0.1+ compatible
- lightweight, yet usable

Free for AudioZ members & guests. If you have any questions, ask me through comments or PM. Just be polite. Thanks!

Also if you have something against "home made" libraries, I'd say try it first before making any judgement. To me, it sounds much better than Kirk Hunter libs (no offence)

I think we could globalize the name of some confused percussion instruments, therefore, tambourine in Brazil is something else and not have plates or platinum.

There is another instrument with plates named pandeiro or pandiero, but is not the small brazilien tambourine. Some places of the world just call EtherealVoice samples as 'half-moon tambourine' (pandeiro meia lua).

It's a mess of the past, because the tambourine comes from Asia and meant only leather. Roland Co. used to name it tambourine, Wersi Gave pandeiro name, Yamaha used Half tambourine. What name we could use to it? Because this sound have nothing of leather sound (Leather cat, animal skin), we just hear the plates hitting.

It's not a matter of word tranlation, we must translate the shape of the instrument.

Just check the following 'tamborins' snapshots. There's hundred of tamborins and all without plates and/or platinum !

For your info :
"As a member of the tambourine family, the pandeiro is similar in basic structure to the more commonly known classical version. However, the structure and sound of a pandeiro give it a different sound, and an important role in most types of Brazilian music."

and not have plates or platinum.

Just check the following 'Pandeiros' snapshots. There's hundred of Pandeiros and all have plates and/or platinum !

because the tambourine comes from Asia

I don't know if the first Tambourines were created in Asia, but for sure the name comes from France :
"The word tambourine finds its origins in French tambourin, which referred to a long narrow drum used in Provence, the word being a diminutive of tambour "drum," altered by influence of Arabic tunbur "drum" from the Middle Persian word tambr "lute, drum".

I'm just in love with every percussion instrument, and this is an awesome upload. Just for the record, in latin america (and part of Europe, i think) is commonly known like "pandereta" both versions: with or without animal skin on top. However, it always has metallic rattles... That's what distinguishes it from the "pandero".

In english, is "tambourine" the translation for both "pandero" and "pandereta"?

Thanks edweste opening a forum inside the page. I agree with you, I studied in New York and England, and they ever make confusion with it's name, there is no common sense, but local sense.
I have the study cd record of Leopold Stokowski about Brazil and when he says tambourine we hear another instrument, but not the shocking rattles or plates. Some good books about percussion says that no one can say if come from the same family.

Old etymology says that tamburo is the same as leather, the usage of the word was being changed over time and people forgot its true meaning. Do not believe the statements found on the web.

But I like this definition of Groves Encyclopedia>: Tamburo is a general term for a percussion instrument from the family of membranophones. Membrano from latin. means, skin, leather, cover, membrana.

The above instrument do not have membrana, is a matter of deduction, so it can not be named tambourine, but weste, understand the local use, ignore the bad translations of the past, always to english. The same wrong translation was made to the word "english horn".

But say as studio 555, that tambourine finds its origins in Provence, French, is too much affirmative, TAMBOR, TAMBURO is older than when the French began drumming. Human hit drums since Asia, China, Egypt, Africa, Greece.

I think that classical version as mentioned by Studio 555 do not help too much, cause these instruments are older than classic versions. The name tambor appears later in time, the origins of name is from Latin and was used in French. We know it have the same origins as Violin, comes from Asia, but from where, nobody will ever know.

This "tambourine" here, is highly used in USA and England Rock, Pop since the 60's and old Arabian dances that influenced it's use in Spain.

Special thanks for EtherealVoice for the upload, sounds great and not heavy.
