[Product Summary] The MEINL Heel Tambourine HTA is an innovative percussion accessory that transforms the concept of “playing rhythm with your feet” into reality. One step produces clear jingle sounds, enabling rhythmic accompaniment even when your hands are occupied. The combination of stainless steel jingles and Siam Oak wood delivers a tight, sonically appealing sound.

Distinct from traditional handheld tambourines, it offers the unique charm of “foot-driven rhythm” for live shows, streaming, recording, street performance, or solo activities. Its simple attachment method makes it easy for anyone to use, and even during other instrument performances, your feet can provide a steady rhythm—an especially valuable advantage for multi-instrumentalists.

It’s highly recommended for those looking to reinforce rhythms alongside other instruments or vocals, or for performers who want to add more “movement” and “footstep rhythms” to their music.
