About This Item
The Latin Percussion LP191NYD is a double row hi-hat jingle ring from the LP City Series, designed to clamp directly onto any standard hi-hat pull rod and transform every pedal stroke a drummer is already making into a simultaneous tambourine event. The concept behind the LP191NYD is fundamentally different from every other tambourine accessory in the LP lineup: rather than requiring a separate playing motion, a second instrument, or any change to existing technique, the LP191NYD attaches directly to the mechanical infrastructure of the hi-hat stand itself and makes jingle texture an automatic and immediate consequence of the hi-hat pedal work the drummer is already performing on every song. The LP191NYD is a 5-inch ring sized to fit around the pull rod of any standard hi-hat stand without interfering with the cymbal stack above or the mechanical operation of the stand below. The double row configuration packs two full rows of City Series steel jingles onto the ring body, producing a denser and more sonically pronounced jingle effect than a single row model at every dynamic level, from a soft ghost stroke on the pedal to a fully accented open hi-hat hit. The 16 pairs of jingles are distributed evenly around the entire circumference of the ring, ensuring consistent and balanced jingle response regardless of how the ring settles on the pull rod during use. City Series steel jingles produce a bright and cutting tone that sits cleanly above the natural cymbal wash of the hi-hat, occupying the upper frequency range where tambourine shimmer traditionally lives in a full band mix. The tone is tight and articulate rather than washy, meaning the jingle response tracks the rhythm of the hi-hat pedal precisely rather than blurring individual strokes together into an indistinct shimmer. This tight rhythmic clarity makes the LP191NYD particularly effective in uptempo grooves, funk patterns, Latin rhythms, and gospel feels where the hi-hat works actively across multiple subdivisions and a sharply defined jingle accent adds genuine musical character to the groove without muddying the rhythmic structure. The oversized cast LP wing screw operates entirely by hand without any tools, allowing the LP191NYD to be installed, positioned, and tightened in seconds at any point before or during a soundcheck. This quick-attach design makes it equally practical as a permanent fixture on a dedicated home or studio kit and as a portable accessory that a touring drummer clips onto any backline hi-hat stand at a gig without additional preparation or hardware. At 0.63 lbs, the ring is engineered to be genuinely ultralight, and Latin Percussion has specifically designed its weight distribution to avoid any measurable impact on hi-hat pedal feel, spring tension response, or the mechanical behavior of the stand. Drummers sensitive to changes in pedal feel will find that the LP191NYD sits on the pull rod without adding the mass or drag that would require retuning spring tension or adjusting footboard angle to compensate, meaning it can be left on the pull rod indefinitely without degrading hi-hat technique precision. In a studio recording setting, the LP191NYD solves a practical problem that session drummers encounter regularly: recording tambourine and hi-hat as two separate instruments typically requires a separate percussionist or a tambourine overdub after the main drum take, both of which add time and complexity to a session. With the LP191NYD on the pull rod, the drummer captures tambourine and hi-hat simultaneously in a single pass with perfect rhythmic alignment because both share the same physical trigger, a meaningful efficiency gain in any professional recording environment. The LP City Series represents LP's professional mid-tier jingle accessory range, and City Series jingles are bright and projecting without the warmth that brass provides, well matched to the clean upper register of a standard hi-hat cymbal. For drummers who prefer a more subtle texture, the LP191NYD is also available in a single row version, but the double row model delivers maximum jingle presence at every pedal velocity. For any drummer of any genre or experience level who wants to add authentic tambourine texture to their hi-hat playing in the most mechanically direct and elegant way available, the LP191NYD is the definitive solution. Backed by Latin Percussion, the LP191NYD is a smart and permanently rewarding upgrade to any drum kit.
