LP Jam Block with Bracket

Comments about LP Jam Block Medium Pitch with Bracket:

This is a great jam block. It's a very very durable thing and makes a great sound. You can hit it like as hard as you can and it doesn't show ANY damage. And even better, Joey Castillo from QOTSA has one!

I thought it was kind of funny buying a plastic wood block but this thing works great. Sounds just like a wood block, and is much more durable. You can wail on this thing, and no dents appear in the product. The included bracket also works well, but you will need some sort of adapter for it to work, because it will not fit on most snare/cymbal stands.

This thing is great. You can WAIL on this thing, and nothing happens to it. It's more durable than drumheads! It also has a nice piercing sound to it. I have the low pitch.

If you are looking for the best wood-sounding accessory, get this product. It is a great addition to any drumkit. I use mine often while playing and adds a lot of originality into my music. It is a great product to use if you are not a big fan of the cowbell. This block is completely different and is very durable. I have had mine for almost a year and still looks and sounds like new.

Dont think that you can only use this in latin music. Because the sound you get can be used in JUST ABOUT ANYTHING. It is also nice and durable so u can throw this thing around a bit (not that you should.)They're not that expensive so why dont you have one yet?

I just love adding new sounds to my set up, and this item is no exception! It brings something new to my kit and lets me expand as I see fit! It has a great sound and you can choose high or low pitch, depending on your preference. It's really an item that you have to hear to believe. So go to your nearest GC and check it out!

I have had my Jam Block for a few months now. I really like it when I can apply it. Sometimes I substitute it for a rim click, use it for fills, or alternate between it and my snare. It is a handy percussion piece to have. Quite a few different sounds can be achieved depending on how and where it is hit. It can be pretty loud when struck firmly. For the price, it is worth trying. I highly recommend it.

I own the low pitch, the high pitch and the other jam block they sell which is higher pitched then the high pitched one, and i use them for a lot of things! they cut through a multitude of things and they just sound great! I wasn't sure when I was getting them to even get them but they really served a purpose in my drum set get them!!!

To start off, I'm a classically trained percussionist, so I have some experience with fine wood blocks. This is not one of those, however, this really does have a great tone for being plastic. Not only do these sound pretty good, they even sound pretty good whacking at it with a drum stick. This is important because a regular woodblock sounds terrible being hit with a drumstick (very thin tone, a lot of attack sound, and it destroys your nice block!) I play a lot of musicals and I find I need woodblocks sounds frequently, these mountable LP jam blocks (I own both a red and blue) are just the ticket. I mount them on my percussion bracket and slide it next to my set. If I have the time I use a mallet to play them and they sound so good, if I don't, I use a drumstick and I'm happy I got the sound I needed on the fly without damaging my gear.

The ONLY downside to these blocks is that this plastic can make a woodblock sound that will cleave open your brain. IF you play these too loudly, you may need hearing aids after or at least may need to lie down for 30 minutes. Play with a nice solid stroke but don't really dig in unless you absolutely need to cut through the mix.

I use it on slow songs (the same you would use your rim on your snare drum), Latin songs, Reggae (on the 2 and 4 count), and I also have the blue jam block witch is great for playing on the up beat (syncopated on every other measure or so) on Reggae as well for example. I saw a guy using the red jam block for Tahitian drumming (Polynesian show), and you would not have known that he was not using a traditional wood Toere drum if you only heard it, and did not actually see it, so needless to say it is very versatile. It is plenty loud and will cut through the average band even without a microphone. Just make sure that you learn proper sticking technique/habits otherwise even though this is a very solid quality product, any block made by any manufacturer can break (not so much at the point of contact, but in the area where the mounting is attached... it happened to a fellow musician). Even a medium light strike, it is plenty loud, so you do not really need excessive force anyways, since the sound really carries anyways.

Nice woody tone even though it plastic. Great for many types of music, especially Latin! Can be used as a cross stick alternative for more volume if needed. Had the blue and now the Red which is lower pitched and louder.
