Thicker metal shells made the trick for old timbales....The "new" trend is to make them project more in volume when played therefore, thinner shell timbales is the norm now with overtones in it.

We all agree, a Palladium is about the worst sounding drum on the market, but some of us like the funky cracked, old, beatup and almost dead sound.
What do we look for?
For me, I want a punchy, clear, heavy on the mid range tone, even on a requinto, or a tumba.. and a second of sustain ending without a ring.
For Salsa and some Latin Jazz, i like a more bright sound, for small combo work and folkloric styles, i like a more muted sound.. full, but muted.
