Meinl Percussion Foot Tambourine with Stainless Steel Jingles-NOT Made in China-Accompaniment for Cajon Gigs, 2-Year Warranty, Black (FJS2S-BK)

I'm one-third of a semi-pro acoustic trio and have tried to rig typical tambourines in ways that I could stomp or shake them while standing and playing a stringed instrument and ended up frustrated. This nifty and well designed foot tambourine is the answer! While you don't get nearly as many jingles as with a standard tambourine, it's small enough that it doesn't flop around on your foot or have so much weight that it pulls you off balance! It gives just enough sound to be a nice background rhythm instrument.The two toughest things about using one of these are:1. Despite having a pretty good sense of rhythm, it's not as easy as you might think to stay precisely on beat with one of these as it is just tapping your foot.2. Don't even think about stomping this thing at a rate of twice each four-beat bar -- your leg will be exhausted halfway through the song!

I love this and it's plenty loud for my uses. My only complaint is that the elastic is snug and my feet are women's size 9. 'm surprised this didn't have an adjustable strap like their foot shaker does but I can probably lace my shoe laces over it to secure it or make some other adaptation. Wonderful that it's made in the USA and is well made.

This is a nice foot tap Tamborine, but the little steel rods that hold the cymbals in place punched through the sides of the Tambo. Cheaply made. I had to reinforce them with superglue and duct tape. One thing I did discovers, was how nice they sound in the palm of your hand, where you can tap them with your other had. Very effective.

Cool and fun to use!

Love this little portable foot tambourine that has ground sound and simple to use.

It’s a nice little addition to a performance but most times. It fits over any shoe, and it’s really sturdy and well-made. You don’t even really notice that it’s on your foot because of how lightweight and comfortable it is. The downside for me, is that you really have to stomp to get any good sound out of it. A simple toe tap isn’t nearly enough. But I’ve used it for little performances and it works for small crowds that can be close enough to hear it.

I love this little guy. The strap is nice and sturdy although you do want to wear it as far onto your shoe as possible to keep it from sliding off. I actually have two because a friend of mine gave me another as a birthday present without knowing I had bought one, but they actually sound different. One has thicker plastic and the cymbals are a little further apart from each other at the resting position, hence the difference in sound.

This is a fun little tambourine. It is fairly tight, so if you aren't wearing shoes it kinda hurts on your foot. But I suppose this is also good, because it doesn't slide off, or out of place. I love that it gives you the ability to use it while playing another instrument, or you can just hold it too, or slide it on your arm.... It sounds pretty good too, for a plastic tambourine.
