The Tama Rhythm Watch has two new versions. The first and most extended version is the upgraded Rhythm Watch. The Rhythm Watch Mini is developed as compact and affordable version of its bigger brother. Also new for Tama are the Drummer's Gloves, available in medium and large sizes. More new from the Tama accessories department are the Drum Cleaning Cloth and the pretty good looking Black Nickel Plated Tuning Key. A drum key to add to your collection.
Tama Drummer's Gloves The best thought-through idea behind the gloves is that it is compatible with all touchscreen devices. The middle finger has a special tip that you can use to change settings on your devices during playing. They are made of soft and durable synthetic leather to prevent slipping and the stretch mesh material on the top gives it more air to prevent perspiration (sweating).
Shinetex Drum Cleaning Cloth The FSY (Fruit Section Yarn) is a special micro fiber developed by a company called Unitika. It features super sharp wedge shaped cross-section which can trap extremely-fine dirt or grime. It will cost around $16.
Black Nickel Plated Tuning Key The new Tama tuning key is nothing more than a tuning key. It will cost you about $4, but it looks pretty good.
