Timbal refers to a type of percussion instrument typically used in Latin music, characterized by a pair of shallow, single-headed drums mounted on a stand. The drums vary in size, with the larger drum producing a lower pitch and the smaller drum producing a higher pitch. Timbales are played with drumsticks, and their crisp, metallic sound adds a rhythmic groove to the music. They are commonly used in salsa, mambo, and other Latin genres to create lively and energetic rhythms.
