Fucking Tambourines are everywhere!

[kev]

Is it me, or does EVERY single big rock/pop song have a tambourine lurking in the chorus somewhere lately? Maybe its always been that way, but i've only just noticed it lol. From U2, to Nickelback through to Littleboots it seems to be lurking in there somewhere!

Congratulations! You just found a secret key to the charts!

Well, I guess it just adds a lot of power/noise, which seems to be a good thing.
But I hope metal bands won't start doing that

Killswitch Engage has a lot of extra percussion and namely tambourine in songs like When Darkness Falls, My Last Serenade, Daylight Dies and Reckoning has casaba or something in the chorus

They have DJ Hero coming out with a turntable. How lame is that?

I've noticed tambourine hits coinciding with snare hits during choruses quite often.

 

[jangoux]

Megadeth also has some songs with tambourine.

 

[if6was9]

yeah people do it alot for doubling snare or hats in chorus's and then leave it out for the verses. Just seems to add a little more emphasis to the beat I suppose!!

 

[TheDriller]

^ adds a tonne of awesome too

I swear you could remove the drum tracks on 'Crack The Skye' and there'd be so much extra percussion left no one would even notice...
