If you want a tambourine to keep with you in a drum or percussion setup, I’d suggest getting one that doesn’t have a drumhead. It’ll be easier to play, and the hole through the middle makes it easy to latch the tambourine onto different metal rods in your setup. When amplifying, you’ll need to consider the volume of your foot drum concerning your guitar’s volume. If it isn’t loud enough, you may want to use an additional amplifier or a PA system. Tambourines with heads are a type of tambourine that you can both shake and bang like a drum. They’re typically made from wood, and they have a drum skin stretched over the surface that you strike with your hand while holding the tambourine in your other hand. The best way to hear what each jingle sounds like is to do a listening test. When thinking about buying a particular tambourine, try your best to hear a demo of it.
