Maker
Rhythm Tech
American maker of reinvented small percussion
Rhythm Tech's contribution is redesign rather than tradition: the crescent-shaped tambourine that removed the dead hand position, mountable shakers, and hardware-friendly versions of instruments that had always been held.

Rhythm Tech Tambourine
Hand percussion
Rhythm Tech's crescent tambourine removes the part of a round frame the hand covers anyway, which makes the instrument lighter, easier to hold, and easier to play fast. It is the most copied tambourine design of the last forty years.
-
Rhythm Tech Studio Shaker
Hand percussion
The Studio Shaker's fill and body are chosen so the sound starts and stops cleanly, which is what a close microphone needs and what a handful of beans does not give.
-
Rhythm Tech Hat Trick
Hand percussion
The Hat Trick clamps a set of jingles to a hi-hat so the tambourine part plays itself from the foot, freeing both hands.
