Headless tambourine

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] Jazz, pop and rock drummers sometimes mount a headless tambourine in the drum kit.
