Round Frame Tambourine Features
A frame tambourine is a traditional percussion instrument constructed with a circular rim, a tight drumhead stretched across one side, and metal jingles set into slots around the edge. Striking the drumhead or shaking the hoop produces rhythmic sound patterns.
Fascinating Facts About Frame Drums
Musicians have played frame drums for thousands of years across traditional folk ensembles and modern marching bands. The small metal discs around the shell are called zills, and they vibrate together whenever the drumhead receives an impact. This versatile rhythm maker allows players to combine tapping, shaking, and rim strikes in a single performance.
