If you mount it and a mic to a set of drums, can you play drums and sing at the same time --and-- get the tamb/cb parts while still playing the drums! lol Now the question.

You need to position it so the "head" of the mic is facing the area you normally hit on the tambourine. I originally had it facing "up" (towards handle in pic) and that didn't work very well, you had to hit it quite hard to get it to register 100% of the time. Since I switched the mic head to face "out" towards the black rubber hit edge, it works super easy now, you just brush it against your hand or leg and it registers. The mic positioning doesn't seem to matter so much for the cowbell; I drilled a hole in the bottom and ran the cable through, so the mic is mounted on the bottom of the cowbell facing up. Works perfectly, you barely have to even tap it for it to register every time. One tip– the tambourine is VERY sensitive to directional positioning of the mic.
