Timbales are pairs of shallow single-headed drums from Cuba. As shown in this photo, they are often played in combination with Cowbells. They are used in a variety of different styles of Cuban music, Salsa and Merengue.
Timbales are assigned the number 211.211 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:
2 = Membranophones. Instruments where the sound is primarily produced by the vibration of a string or strings that are stretched between fixed points.
21 = Struck Membranophones. Sound is produced by hitting the drumskin with a hand or object.
211 = Directly Struck Membranophones. Instruments in which the membrane is struck directly.
211.2 = Tubular Drums. Instruments in which the body is tubular.
211.21 = Cylindrical Drums. Instruments in which the body has the same diameter at the middle and end.
211.211 = Instruments which have only one usable membrane.

Courtney Pine was born in London to Jamaican parents. He came to the fore with the Jazz Warriors in the mid 1980s, and has since led his own bands. In recent years this has included the Cuban violinist Omar Puente, who I photographed in a very different musical context at the Celebrating Sanctuary Festival: www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157627027385999/.

SW6 Class tram 907 in static preservation by DERMPAV at Newport Workshops. The tram was recently in service on elbourne's tram network and was withdrawn in December 2014. The tram operated from the Southbank Tram Depot until it was transferred to Preston Workshops for storage. Following this, it was taken to Newport Workshops intended to be used as a Cafe for DERMPAV as part of tour/event days. Note: The tram previously had a Schunk Pantograph during its revenue service days and has since been given two trolley poles, as was original to the W Class trams.
