Riq - Yousif Sheronick AIS Model

Cooperman has collaborated with Yousif Sheronick to bring you this newly designed riq that blends traditional riq jingle layout with innovative design elements. The riq has two carved "scallop" arches between two of the jingle sets to extend the "reach" of the players fingers.  This facilitates a super comfortable grip when playing in either soft or cabaret position for any sized hands.  As with traditional riqs, this drum has a jingle arrangement of 5 double-row sets, evenly spaced sets

This drum is slightly smaller, 9" in diameter, than our previous "Artist Series" Riq, and we have replaced the metal tuning rim with a wood one.  It's lighter in weight, highly articulate and creates both a brilliant and warm sound.  The head is tightly mounted to create the drum’s distinctive clear, 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 that allow players to change-out the jingles for alternate sounds.

• Approximately 9″ diameter x 2.5″ deep.
• wood tuning ring.
• Remo® Weatherking Clear mylar drum head.
• 9 pair of hand hammered brass jingles and 2 pair of hand hammered bronze jingles. (The bronze jingle is intended to be the” played,” articulated jingle; the brass jingles for a shaker sound.
• Average weight: 695 grams (about 1.5 lbs).

• We do not "tune" riqs to a specific pitch, but as a general idea of head tension:

  9”Cooperman Artist Series Riq (Clear Synthetic Head) Pitch range: D to E
