I wrote that I bought timbales, which is true, but they weren‘t usable for this piece at first, because the stand they came on was too high.
(And here I digress, because I found them online at Kierstein Music Store, and at first they only sent me the stand, so then I was worried that I had ordered incorrectly and just paid 165€ for only a timbale stand, because usually timbales cost around 500€. After several emails and telephone calls they finally sent the actual timbales to go with the stand.) There is a typical problem of bongo and timbale stands being too high for people who want to place them in a setup. The best possibility to correct this is DIY, so it took me an hour and one broken drill bit to get the stand lower.
Then the first answer is to try another stand base, which did work, except for the fact that I needed the other stand part for it‘s original stand.
Just imagine, all this just to get the timbales at the right height, when the stand could have been made that way in the first place! The original stand goes way too high, anyway. I always wonder who they were building for, giants?
Finally I could practice the piece, or so I thought. Then I noticed the timbales were rattling when I played them. After putting my hand on different parts to see what was vibrating while playing, I found the culprit. I tied a stretch band around the part to keep it still, and now all is ready.
