The timbales are a staple instrument in all forms of Cuban music. They are a part of the polyrhythmic sounds that originate from a deep African tradition and have become a part of a distinctly Caribbean and Cuban sound. Timbales are commonly used in the musical styles of rumbas, guaraches, and other forms of Cuban music. Even mainstream pop music today utilizes the sounds of timbales. They produce a sound that is slightly sharper than a drum set, and the shells are often used to play beats, called the “cascara”.
The timbales consist of two different drums placed side by side on a stand, each one representing a male and female. The Mambo (male drum) has a higher pitch with a crisper effect, while the Hembra (female drum) has a deeper and fuller sound.
Timbale techniques require close attention to timing and accuracy, which will teach children about keeping time, an essential component to early music education. This instrument forms a rhythmic foundation for other musicians to play along to. Children will be able to develop their rhythmic timing with these mini timbales while having fun playing with other instruments as part of a band.
