In Reply to: gotta be a tambourine or the bells. -nt posted by Mrs. Piggy on August 4, 2002 at 17:39:00:
Just listen to a decent tambourine player and be prepared to be staggered.Glen Velez is a professional percussionist specialising in the tambourine and a number of related frame drum instruments which are similar but lack the jingles or bells. Listen to his playing on any recording and you will be amazed. He actually plays tambourine accompaniment to Larry Karush's piano on a track called "A La Fatha", a tribute to the pianist Earl Hines which you can find on Mokave Volume 1 on Audioquest records. The tambourine accompaniment is more than staggering, especially since it is the only accompaniment to the piano. I can't imagine a drummer doing a more fitting backup with a full trap set.
Moral: don't let sub-standard use of an instrument by people who have no idea of it's potential fool you into thinking that it's an easy instrument. There's a lot more to the tambourine than the occasional shake and bang against the leg.
