Latin Percussion M247C 15-Inch Matador Timbale Drum Head

The Latin Percussion M247C Matador Timbale Drum Head is a 15-inch replacement head built from Mylar film, a tried-and-true material in the percussion world known for its durability and tonal consistency. Designed to produce warm, resonant tones, this head is a natural fit for players who favor a fuller sound from their timbales rather than an overly bright or cutting attack. Whether you are playing cascara patterns, rim shots, or open tones, the M247C responds with reliable projection and sustain.

As part of the Matador line, this head is built to the standards Latin Percussion has maintained across its affordable-yet-dependable product range. It fits standard 15-inch timbale shells, making it a convenient swap when your current head wears out or when you want to change the tonal character of your setup. Installation is straightforward — seat the head on your shell, apply even tension through your tuning lugs, and you are ready to play. For gigging musicians and practice-room players alike, the M247C offers a cost-effective way to keep your timbales sounding their best.
