Product Description
Latin Percussion Jam Blocks are the modern versions of the age old wood blocks. Traditional wood blocks were fragile and could not stand up to the rigors of aggressive touring. Crafted from LP's exclusive plastic formulation, Jenigor, their research team designed LP Jam Blocks to have the rich sounds of wood blocks and the strength and durability to withstand even the hardest-hitting players. Each patented LP Jam Block comes with a heavy duty mounting bracket and LP's famous eye-bolt assembly for easy mounting to any 3/8-inch diameter rod. Color: Red.
From the manufacturer
Latin Percussion. We Are Rhythm.
LP’s innovative designs and refinements of traditional instruments have inspired musicians around the world for over half a century.
Jam Blocks
LP Jam Blocks have the full tone and clarity of traditional wood blocks, but are crafted from Jenigor, LP’s exclusive virtually indestructible material.
Tone
LP Jam Blocks are musical instruments first and foremost. From the beginning, the original prototypes were designed to work in the context of a variety of musical settings, matching the pleasing sound and articulation of a percussive wood block. New sizes and versions offer an array of complementary pitches, tones, and applications.
Strength
Jam Blocks are strong. Whether it is the rigors of the road, punishing weather and humidity, or simply years of performances- these challenges are no match for LP Jam Blocks. Built from an LP original formulation called Jenigor, Jam Blocks are durable and impervious to life on the road. A heavy duty mounting bracket that fits 3/8” rods is part of the design.
Versatility
LP Jam Blocks play well with everyone; from Salsa Timbale players, to the heaviest hitting rock drummers, to marching percussionists, or standalone orchestral work. Complimentary sizes offer different pitches for almost any situation where a traditional cowbell, woodblock, or clave might be used.

Additionally, some customers also mention that there is one downside, the jam block cannot be mounted to regular cymbal boom arms, and that the mounting hardware doesn't come with it.

First off, I must point out that this thing is EXTREMELY sensitive to temperature. I left the Amazon package in my truck in the sun for my entire work day. When I got home I opened it up and immediately noticed how warm it was from being in my truck all day. Nothing crazy, but probably 105*F. The block was LITERALLY dead at that temp. No volume, no projection, NOTHING. Just sounded like banging on a random plastic thing. I put it in my freezer for 15 min for a head start, then let it sit out at room temp 70+- degrees for another 15 min and it was back to an "average" operating temp. I assure you, if you're playing an outdoor gig, and your set is in direct sunlight, the performance of this thing will go to the deep south rapidly. I'm surprised LP made it such a dark color, though my guess is any color but the lightest ones would succumb to this phenomenon.
Anyway, this purple block has the tonal range of a medium/medium-large sound cowbell without the metallic clang, which I personally dislike. Is it a suitable substitute for use in playing "Mississippi Queen", "Don't Fear the Reaper", "Dance the Night Away", "Moby Dick", etc...IMHO. Songs that use a cowbell as more of a sparsely used accent, such as early Motley Crue (best example of a pure cowbell sound I can think of), Mississippi Queen, etc, this may stick out a bit. But then again, if you're playing in a band through a P.A. it's doubtful anyone will notice, or more importantly even care.
Anyway, it's BIG and NOT light. You better have a solid mount for this thing. It's gotta legit weigh close to 2 lbs. Like all LP Jam Blocks, it can be mounted in the factory config of rear center, as well as from either end, which I HIGHLY suggest you have an EXTREMELY solid mount for if you take that route. Forget 99% of the single arm mounts that you can mount on an existing cymbal stand. I'm talking having a dedicated stand which some sort of heavy mount can be attached. The LP472 or LP372 would be ideal choices. Something with MASS, NOT something hanging way out on some weak bracket mounted off of a cymbal stand.
As other reviews have stated, this thing is LOUD. As in bang on it for 10 seconds in your living room and your ears will be ringing. Placement
at the kit can have a huge effect on how it projects into your ears as well as the audiences ear's. I haven't experimented with sound dampening, but it seems to be a popular volume mitigation route lots of people seem to take.
Lastly, this model is 2 sided. One side has the ridges for a "whatever that's called" sound effect. the other side has the EXACT same raised hitting rim as all the other standard Jam blocks.
I find this purple one and the red one to be a GREAT, highly useful combo.
I compared it to the Toca 6" Mounted Jingle-Hit Tambourine that I also own. I can't really say that one of these toys is better than the other, but I will say that they are different and will likely be used in different arrangements and with different types of music. I tried both of the instruments with my hands, a set of regular drumsticks, and a set of Vic Firth rubber mallets.
The Jam Tamb has a more sparse, lower, duller, --and dare I say "ragged"-- sound overall, whereas the Toca Jingle-Hit's sound is fuller, brighter, tighter, smoother, and emits more overtones. I believe the Jam Tamb woudld likely be suited to those situations when a percussionist wants a tambourine sound that is more muted, dry, and doesn't try to dominate the conversation. The Jingle-Hit, on the other hand, has a bright, almost tinny, sound that is fuller and much more piercing and noticeable. The Jingle-Hit definitely will require more finesse if you don't want to annoy your band-mates!
I intend to use both of them with my hand drums. For my small setup I use a set of LP Jr. wood congas on a double conga stand, along with an LP percussion claw that holds an LP High Pitch Jam Block (Blue) and either the Toca Jingle-Hit (I've used that setup before with good results) or this Jam Tamb (which I will need to try out live in the future). I can also apply the block and the Jam Tamb or Jingle-Hit to my larger Pearl Primero Pro fiberglass dual conga + bongos setup.
Altogether it seem that LP has yet another decent instrument to add to their ever-growing percussion catalog.
