Weighing 15% less than our other pro-level tambourines, Grover Pro Bantamweight™ Series tambourines are easier to grip, control, and play! The Bantamweight's shell is narrower in depth, resulting in a professional-quality instrument which can be played with ease and dexterity, especially by younger percussionists and those with smaller hands.
Expanding the sonic possibilities of our compact 8-inch tambourine lineup, this distinctive double row model features our ultra-lightweight Bantamweight™ shell.
Developed at the request of a leading Los Angeles studio percussionist, it showcases our most popular jingle since 1980: our hand-hammered German Silver jingle, prized for its distinctive character and musical versatility.
A permanently affixed synthetic head, unaffected by humidity, delivers exceptional responsiveness—even the lightest touch of a finger brings it to life! Sensitive, articulate, and effortlessly playable, this tambourine is an outstanding choice for nuanced studio work and refined musical expression.
And here’s a fun fact: If you’ve ever watched the Academy Awards®, chances are you’ve heard this special tambourine in action!
