Your cart is empty.Latin Percussion Jam Blocks are the modern versions of the age old wood blocks. Traditional wood blocks were fragile and could not stand up to the rigors of aggressive touring. Crafted from LP's exclusive plastic formulation, Jenigor, their research team designed LP Jam Blocks to have the rich sounds of wood blocks and the strength and durability to withstand even the hardest-hitting players. Each patented LP Jam Block comes with a heavy duty mounting bracket and LP's famous eye-bolt assembly for easy mounting to any 3/8-inch diameter rod. Color: Red.

I got a fever!....and the only prescription is.....NOT more cowbell.....I gotta have more purple LP Jam Block!First off, I must point out that this thing is EXTREMELY sensitive to temperature. I left the Amazon package in my truck in the sun for my entire work day. When I got home I opened it up and immediately noticed how warm it was from being in my truck all day. Nothing crazy, but probably 105*F. The block was LITERALLY dead at that temp. No volume, no projection, NOTHING. Just sounded like banging on a random plastic thing. I put it in my freezer for 15 min for a head start, then let it sit out at room temp 70+- degrees for another 15 min and it was back to an "average" operating temp. I assure you, if you're playing an outdoor gig, and your set is in direct sunlight, the performance of this thing will go to the deep south rapidly. I'm surprised LP made it such a dark color, though my guess is any color but the lightest ones would succumb to this phenomenon.Anyway, this purple block has the tonal range of a medium/medium-large sound cowbell without the metallic clang, which I personally dislike. Is it a suitable substitute for use in playing "Mississippi Queen", "Don't Fear the Reaper", "Dance the Night Away", "Moby Dick", etc...IMHO. Songs that use a cowbell as more of a sparsely used accent, such as early Motley Crue (best example of a pure cowbell sound I can think of), Mississippi Queen, etc, this may stick out a bit. But then again, if you're playing in a band through a P.A. it's doubtful anyone will notice, or more importantly even care.Anyway, it's BIG and NOT light. You better have a solid mount for this thing. It's gotta legit weigh close to 2 lbs. Like all LP Jam Blocks, it can be mounted in the factory config of rear center, as well as from either end, which I HIGHLY suggest you have an EXTREMELY solid mount for if you take that route. Forget 99% of the single arm mounts that you can mount on an existing cymbal stand. I'm talking having a dedicated stand which some sort of heavy mount can be attached. The LP472 or LP372 would be ideal choices. Something with MASS, NOT something hanging way out on some weak bracket mounted off of a cymbal stand.As other reviews have stated, this thing is LOUD. As in bang on it for 10 seconds in your living room and your ears will be ringing. Placement at the kit can have a huge effect on how it projects into your ears as well as the audiences ear's. I haven't experimented with sound dampening, but it seems to be a popular volume mitigation route lots of people seem to take.Lastly, this model is 2 sided. One side has the ridges for a "whatever that's called" sound effect. the other side has the EXACT same raised hitting rim as all the other standard Jam blocks.I find this purple one and the red one to be a GREAT, highly useful combo.

Great jam block. I already owned the larger red one and I added this one to my accessory rack to create the "clip clop" sound for a Broadway musical. Perfect! The sound is great, and like the other one, I expect this to be a durable and versatile addition to my accessory percussion arsenal. LP products are consistently high quality. Highly recommend them.

I just got this LP Jam Tamb so I obviously haven't gigged with it yet, but I have been able to play around with it for a little while.I compared it to the Toca 6" Mounted Jingle-Hit Tambourine that I also own. I can't really say that one of these toys is better than the other, but I will say that they are different and will likely be used in different arrangements and with different types of music. I tried both of the instruments with my hands, a set of regular drumsticks, and a set of Vic Firth rubber mallets.The Jam Tamb has a more sparse, lower, duller, --and dare I say "ragged"-- sound overall, whereas the Toca Jingle-Hit's sound is fuller, brighter, tighter, smoother, and emits more overtones. I believe the Jam Tamb woudld likely be suited to those situations when a percussionist wants a tambourine sound that is more muted, dry, and doesn't try to dominate the conversation. The Jingle-Hit, on the other hand, has a bright, almost tinny, sound that is fuller and much more piercing and noticeable. The Jingle-Hit definitely will require more finesse if you don't want to annoy your band-mates!I intend to use both of them with my hand drums. For my small setup I use a set of LP Jr. wood congas on a double conga stand, along with an LP percussion claw that holds an LP High Pitch Jam Block (Blue) and either the Toca Jingle-Hit (I've used that setup before with good results) or this Jam Tamb (which I will need to try out live in the future). I can also apply the block and the Jam Tamb or Jingle-Hit to my larger Pearl Primero Pro fiberglass dual conga + bongos setup.Altogether it seem that LP has yet another decent instrument to add to their ever-growing percussion catalog.

Llegó a tiempo, bien empacado. El material es de excelente calidad y el sonido impecable, lo estuve buscando dudando de que el tono fuera el adecuado (consideraba el Wiro Jam Block entre las opciones) pero estoy totalmente satisfecho con el producto.
