Headless tambourine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The headless tambourine differs from the standard tambourine by not having a drumhead. It is called "headless" because it lacks the drumhead, that is, the skin stretched over one side of the ring in a traditional tambourine.[1] It produces a rhythmic jingling sound or a shake roll.[2]
