Introducing the 3rd generation Universal Tablamount for players who wish to sit or stand to practice and perform. Constructed of aircraft aluminum for a super lightweight and rigid feel, they are given a durable black anodized coating that is the same hardness as ruby gemstones. Featuring durable non-marking rubber rings, protected rubber cutout for your Tablatool, tuning wrench, and a built in powder container. The plate unscrews from the 1″ diameter main post and will easily fit within checked luggage, or many existing Tabla cases. Backed by our site-wide guarantee, this Universal Tablamount is designed to last a lifetime. This version of the Tablamount includes a very sturdy Gibraltar tripod base, where previous generations did not.

Review of TransTabla Tablamount Universal Plate by Professor Terry Longshore, DMA
The new Universal Plate is beautiful! The finish is incredible, and the included powder container and rubberized cutouts for Tablatool and tuning wrench are a welcome detail. Not an issue when sitting on the floor, but when sitting on a chair (or a cajón as I do), it is nice to not have to bend over to reach powder, wrench, or hammer from the floor. Also, the rubberized rings do a great job of holding the drums with no slippage or moving while playing. Weighing in at 2 lbs., 0.9 ounces (with powder in the container, no mounting tube), the Universal Plate weighs less than half of what the Pin Style Tablamount weighs. Although it is a slightly larger footprint, packing should be much easier due to its thin, flat design. The drums are positioned slightly farther apart than how I usually play, but it was not a huge issue and still felt comfortable to play. Also, I positioned the whole system at a slight, off-center, angle so the bayan did not feel too close to me in relation to the tabla. Again, not a big issue and the drums feel stable, secure, and easy to play. They sit securely at an angle in the rubberized mounts and do not move around. The ability to work with any tabla (no customization needed) makes the Universal Plate appealing for any tabla player.
