Meinl Percussion CRING 6" Ching Ring Hi Hat Tambourine

Meinl Percussion CRING 6" Ching Ring Hi Hat Tambourine

A simple addition can completely change the character of your drum kit, and the Meinl Percussion CRING 6" Ching Ring Hi-Hat Tambourine is proof of that. Designed to sit directly on top of your hi-hat cymbals, it adds crisp, shimmering tambourine accents to every groove without requiring any changes to your playing technique. Whether you're performing live, recording in the studio, or experimenting with new sounds at home, it's an effortless way to add extra texture and energy to your kit.

Built around a 6-inch steel ring fitted with five pairs of stainless steel jingles, the CRING delivers a bright, articulate tambourine sound that cuts through the mix without overpowering your cymbals. The steel construction gives it a solid, durable feel while allowing the jingles to respond naturally to every hi-hat stroke, from tight closed patterns to wide-open accents.

One of the Ching Ring's biggest strengths is its simplicity. There's no hardware to mount, no clamps to tighten, and no complicated setup. Just place it on your hi-hats and you're ready to play. It can also be lifted off in seconds whenever you want to return to your regular hi-hat sound, making it a versatile addition to any drummer's setup.

Compact enough to fit into a stick bag and tough enough for regular gigging, the CRING is equally at home in rock, pop, funk, gospel, indie, acoustic, and countless other styles. It's a favourite among drummers looking to add rhythmic colour without taking up extra space on their kit.

At Musicmaker, we love accessories that inspire creativity without adding complexity. The Meinl Percussion CRING 6" Ching Ring Hi-Hat Tambourine is an easy way to expand your sound, giving your grooves an extra layer of sparkle that's ready whenever inspiration strikes.
