Here you'll find every flavour of jingle stick you would ever care to use. Jingle sticks can refer to the classic Headless Tambourine (or Tambourine without a drum skin) and often come in round or oval shapes. However, since Jingles Sticks have a straight form, the balance is different in both feel and sound and can be a little easier for little hands to hold and shake. The sound certainly lies close to that of a headless tambourine but is largely defined by the material of the jingles (the little pairs of cymbals that rattle together to create the sound) and the jingle size. As such, some jungle sticks can sound shrill on their own but when added to a percussive mix, add that essential high-end detail. On a Brazillian Pandeiro, for example, the jingles are hollow, line the edge in pairs and collide lightly against each other for a more subtle sound. As tempted as we might be, jingle sticks should never be confused with Sleigh Bells. But, that's not to say that we don't have those too, since all your Christmas Number One hit-making wants can be found hidden in our range of Percussion Sound Effects.
