MEINL Sea Drums create the soothing sounds of the surf, with a great new feature: we sealed the little steel balls between two drum heads, one synthetic and the other natural goatskin, or with our True Feel synthetic head for the 18" version, our newest one (FD18SD-TF). This means you can choose between two completely different timbres within the same drum. A sealable filling port allows you to control the amount of steel balls insinde. 

We enlarged our line of ergonomic ABS Tambourineswith out popular hand-hammered brass super-dry jingles. This gives you a great new sound in the familiar form of our hand held (STMT1B-BK) or montable (STMT2B-BK) ABS Tambourine.

Made from black powder coated stell, the MEINL Headliner Series Cowbells produce a cutting and sharp sound. Whether used in a percussion setup or in a drum set configuration, they always add a special flavour to your groove.

This Free Ride Designer Series Bongo matches Taku Hirano´s playing style: elegant, captivating and versatile.
The bongo is proudly emblazoned with the Japanese Mitsudomoe symbol, representing Man, Earth, and Heaven. The symbol became associated with the Samuri ethos, and with the art of drumming itself.

Taku explains, "The Mitsudomoe symbol has always resounded with me in that it was a link to my heritage and synonymous to not only the warrios of Japan, but also the drummers of Japan. After doing research and finding out that it was adopted by a king with the same name as myself, and that it symbolized upholding honor to the highest degree, I knew that it chose me as much as I chose it"

The bongo comes with our MEINL Free Ride Suspension System (German patent), black powder coated hardware, hand selected buffalo heads, 8 mm strong tuning lugs, 2.5 mm rounded SSR-Rims, accessory pouch, L-shaped tuning key and a tune up oil.

The MEINL Headliner Series Bongo Stands combine easy handling and functionality with reliability and sturdy construction. A newly desinged bracket enables extremly quick and easy mounting, yet holds the entire bongo securely in place.

From now on the MEINL Headliner Series Bongo Stand is also available in a black version (THBS-BK).
