Our riq design combines the traditional sound
and technique with some original innovations;

* The frame is extra thin (2") and it has a specialform with thicker parts between the jingles which makes it easier to hold the drum in both positions.
* The jingles are all individually hand-hammered. The standard set includes 4 different timbres.*
* The head is leaning on the narrow metal bearing edge that contributes to the clear and sharp
* TEK sound. The riq includes a tuning mechanism operated by an Allen key. Two models of riq are available: one with a plastic head and one with a traditional fish skin.
* Frame - 9"
* Grip - 2"
* Head - 8"
* Weight ? 730 gr

Our Artist Series Riq features the traditional jingle arrangement of 5 double-row, evenly spaced sets. The head is tightly mounted to create the drum's distinctive high pitched sound. We've incorporated the patented Cooperman internal tuning system to maintain top performance under all conditions, as well as our removable jingle pin system to allow for alternative combination of jingles.

The Artists Series Riq has been developed to be a superbly balanced drum with design features that contribute to the players control of jingle response:

  • Larger diameter (9 1/8th inch versus our older 8 3/8s inches)

The larger diameter enhances rich doum/drum sonority

  • Shallower depth (2 3/8ths versus our older 2 5/8ths inches)

The shallower depth facilitates player grip, jingle access, and jingle control

  • Aluminum bearing/tuning edge on wood body

The aluminum member strengthens bright, articulated tak drum sounds and forward-balances the instrument

  • Hand-hammered brass jingles create a shimmering effect,  emphasing the percussive drum sound.

Cooperman recommends REMO Weatherking head for its bright, highly responsive sound. The Weatherking heads are typically scuffed to give them a slight surface texture. Alternatively, either REMO Renaissance or natural fish skin is available at the same price.
