This newly designed COOPERMAN 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.
