The Native Tongue Percussion RhymChik gives hand drummers an innovative way to add a crisp “chick” sound without holding a mallet. Powered by the patented RhymStryker rim-mounted striking system, it allows percussionists to maintain two-handed drum patterns while incorporating closed hi-hat-style rhythms and accents.
Its arrangement of paired tambourine jingles produces a tight, controlled staccato sound with a quick response. The RhymChik can be used for repeating timekeeping patterns, subtle accents, or added rhythmic texture without overpowering the natural voice of the drum.
The padded RhymStryker playing surface can be activated comfortably with the hand or palm. The system mounts to a variety of mechanical and rope-tuned rims commonly found on African, Brazilian, and Cuban-style hand drums and can be positioned and height-adjusted to suit the player.
Stainless Steel Jingles produce a finer, more subtle staccato sizzle that sits smoothly in the mix.
Nickel Jingles produce a coarser, more pronounced staccato sizzle that cuts through the mix.
