How to Play Tambourine - Tutorial

[@silvanohandyman]

My eldest daughter is a drummer and my youngest is a bassist in church. But I love tambourine, I play it in our church. Thank you for this vid. I learned a new technique.

[@rhondabaroli2683]

Very awesome 💚

[@sarahfox5379]

Thank you! I now have a much more appreciation for the tambourine! I wanted to teach my toddler music - and thought that tambourine wouldn't be too hard...I didn't know there was all this to it! Right now, I'll just teach her the basic basic, she's only 3.

[@marysteelman6534]

Thank you, thank you! I’m and old-ish woman musician - piano, guitar and flute. I have always ALWAYS wanted to be a percussionist and I’ve just never had a chance to learn (ie no teacher.) I’ve lost my entire family so I now live alone and am free to do what I want and I am learning something crazy fun from your videos! I’ll never be pro, but because of you, I can entertain myself and I even get to join in on some gigs with friends. Rhythm is everything and starting with egg shakers to larger cylindrical shakers and now tambourine, I am rocking my house every day. I keep an egg everywhere I go and even play in the car! So thankful for your instructions - so simple, even *I* can get it. I think it’s also really good to tone the saggy bits on my arms! This is my new meditation tool. You’re the best.

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Happy to be of service and glad to hear about your new passion.

[@gitsiegoo]

@@marysteelman6534 right on! I bet you could join in with some musicians at an open mic and jam along. Open mics are really fun and you can meet some supportive and cool people who just enjoy playing music.

[@LucidaBrightakaDiggs]

I appreciate this... super quick lesson but very easy to pick up and go. Also, the instructor has such a comforting tone and pleasant demeanor. Easy ROI on this tutorial. My journey with the tambourine begins today, 7.26.2023❤

[@elesapowell3769]

Thanks. I appreciate it. I play it on my right leg in church. Mic is in my left hand. I am just teaching myself. Glad for the tips.

[@itsdeanya]

Two other things I like to do: "pinch" the tambourine in the playing hand and rattle it quickly back and forth, for a shimmy sound; also, play the individual jingles using a thumb stroke for a filler sound. Good solid techniques you practice, and you always have great videos.

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Thank you!

[@gitsiegoo]

Cool info! Now I'm wondering if the thumb stroke technique is used in the song "Nowhere to Run" by Martha and the Vandellas.

Listening to the tambourine in 'The end of the line' by The Traveling Wilburys got me to search the tambourine, and here I am. Now I want to buy a tambourine 🔔 Thanks.

I've been practicing tambourine hardcore for years. I can shred on it.

[@debrac1688]

You have a gift to teach.

[@user-rg6hd7wt8h]

Thank you so much for your videos. I’m an actor and have been cast in a show where I’ve been asked to play bongos, the tambourine & shakers in a scene..my character is musically inclined but I myself have zero interest experience. Your videos have helped me immensely.

[@TerryTheNewsGirl]

I was a tamborine player in the Salvation Army for ten years. What he is teaching is incredibly simplistic and not in the least bit advanced compared to what we used to do. We used to thumb roll it, twirl it on our fingers using the thumb hole (which these don't have) and wave them all over the place. It was a bit like aerobics with a timbril (posh name for tamborine).

[@jamesdevine02]

OK we get it, you're a tambourine God. Although, nowhere in the video title/description does it claim to be an advanced tutorial...

[@DMelloooo]

This is GREAT! I've always played it when needed and just picked up a ton of work doing Beatles. When not playing keys I'm on the tambourine. It's almost like kriya yoga keeping it. Super neat O getting the percussion side of the game going more strong

Hi bro

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Thank you

[@helenaprudenciado4388]

Thank you for the tambourine tutorial that I can learn. I am a newbie in playing it, and the favorite type of tambourine I wanted is the round one because I can dance with it and customize it.

[@synesthesis]

Thank you. Playing tambourine by myself is so much better than writing it in Ez Drummer :)

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Absolutely

[@JorijnVanHese]

Thank you so much! This helps me a lot! I don't play a tambourine, I need it for in a recording... Now I don't have to ask anyone and hopefully I can do it myself now!

[@NguyenNgocHienhopthu136]

....Bravo Kalini! No.1 you are today! Wish you best!

[@Taboomom]

Kalani, I am interested in a video on playing the tambourine in a dance setting, where you use other parts of your body, like striking the tambourine on the hip, etc. Do you have specific techniques for other body parts? Thanks!

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

As a percussionist and performer / recording artist, I was not personally exposed to, nor did I require, any “body” techniques, but I don’t see why you couldn’t adapt some of these to other parts. I think the playing on one’s hip, is more of a singer thing, possibly born out of the TV era and doing live shows.

[@pedritovee]

I have to say that i find even the basic techniques a bit of a challenge to get. Except for the very basic smacking of the tambourine with the free hand. Any tips/videos on how to master those basics? Thanks for your time and efforts

[@malunachow]

Great tutorial!!

[@flexibartr]

I added this syncopatic technique to my teaching on the shaker. One can generate polyrhythms just by mechanically (brainless) combing little algorithms to varying pattern-structures, letting them train your rhythm feeling and expand it to complexity, instead of having to grasp the idea of the addition-pattern in advance.

[@numanuma20]

I didn’t know I was playing the tambourine incorrectly. What is your tough on the hand clap method where the player raise to tambourine in the air and strike it like the person was basically hand clapping.

[@JensGulin]

I wouldn't call it "incorrect". He just showed some of the basic techniques to start with and didn't say anything else was wrong. My thought is that your style is very visual, assuming you do this over your head. The challenge is to do it tightly in beat, which is not necessarily a priority. Smaller movements help you keep more in control and save energy. If you move the tambourine down to waist level you're close to what he showed first. Moving only the striking hand saves energy and gives you more control of the rattle. Other than that, there's nothing to say you can't enjoy your variant. Keep musical!
