I had a nice set of JCR Timbales like those once and they were really nice, I especially liked the cascaras you get from them. The only thing I did not like too much was that the stand was a little wobbly. Since I also had a nice LP set of Tito Puentes Timbales on hand I would use the base portion of my LP Stand on the Top portion of the JCR stand and the result was a super strong non wobbly stand. Thats how I would use them.

I'm selling mine now. They're in fantastic shape - I just don't have an opportunity to play them enough. SF Bay Area, pickup only:

JCR timbales are great. I got a used set on ebay about a year and a half ago and I love them. Great sounding cascara and old school sound. I am sure somebody will jump on those

I'm the lucky buyer of taikonoatama's JCR timbales. A big AMEN to the "great sounding (brighter) cascara and old school sound" from the stainless steel material used! The condition is excellent and I believe that I got them for a reasonable price.

I really don't like to haggle much and I strongly believe in "win-win" situations, as much as possible, and that everybody should end up as happy campers.

I definitely am one very pleased JCR timbales owner. It was my 1st choice for timbales. But, I just couldn't wait the average 6 months that Cali Rivera required for construction. So, I ended up initially buying the Meinl Luis Conte signature timbales in pure brass which I got brand-new for a great deal.

It was a pleasure dealing with taikonoatama. He's truly a straight-shooter as bongosnotbombs described him to be.

My stainless JCR timbales definitely supplement my Meinl Luis Conte timbales with the latter's pleasantly brighter skin sound but drier, darker cascara sound.
