  • A Brief History

    When Richard Taninbaum went into The Power Station, a famous New York recording studio, for a session with producer Bob Clearmountain, he didn’t expect to leave with an idea that would revolutionize percussion.

    A full-time drummer and percussionist with credits including Herbie Mann, Ben E. King, and Eddie Kendricks, Taninbaum explains, “I was laying down a tambourine track that was over 15 minutes long. After a couple of takes, my arm got so tired that I couldn’t continue. Bob told me that my problem was common among percussionists. I was determined to create a tambourine that was lighter and easier to play but still sounded good.”

    Taninbaum realized that the conventional round tambourine shape was flawed. Since most tambourines were headless, the round shape was unnecessary and made them uncomfortable and tiring to play.

    He concluded that holding the tambourine in the center of the circle would improve balance and ease of play. He then developed a crescent-shaped design with a cushioned grip, enhancing playing comfort compared to holding a tambourine by its hard, outside edge.
