I need brainstorming help.
So I currently have a tambourine (Rhythmtech) DST) mounted via an LP Claw to the rim on my kit. It jingles a bit when I hit the bass and I'd like to stop that. I think the only option is to move it off of the drum and onto its own stand. The problem is, I'd hate to utilize a single stand for just a tambourine and would like to add other percussion items to it. So here is where the brainstorming comes in. I'm looking for items that I could add to a stand that will have a tambourine mounted on it. The tambourine will be struck with a stick and I do not want to cause buzzing/rattling of anything else that may be on it. Likewise, the other items added should not cause the tambourine to jingle when they are played.
My thought is perhaps a windchime mounted on a boom stand with a dampening bar. The tambourine would be mounted from the shaft of the same stand.
My other thought would be a straight stand and put a riveted cymbal on it so you wouldn't even notice the tambourine going off. And hitting the tamb wouldn't shake the cymbal as much since it's not out over a boom.
Maybe something with a percussion table? Though I prefer to play with sticks and mallets and not my hands.
So, I'm looking for ideas, suggestions, thoughts, etc... on the topic!
Thanks guys!

Hi,
That tambourine issues you are raising are difficult to deal with. A tambourine usually need so to be isolated on a stand of its own in order to function without being affected by other instruments or the cocktail drum.
I uses a the red Pearl tambourine that has jingles that can be adjusted. It is designed for mounting and each set of jingles can be independently muted. I was able to adjust mine so that it doesn't rattle so much when I hit play the main drum.
You should have a problem mounting in on a stand with windchimes even without a damper. Pearl also makes a cajon clave and cajon woodblock that are mountable and have a striker. Those would work on a stand with the tambourine too.
Hope this helps ...
