Galician tambourine

Playing the Galician tambourine requires moving only the right hand, by using the wrist, without moving the arm or the forearm. The left hand hardly moves; players hit the tambourine against the left hand. The position of the hand playing the tambourine is integral to the sound. Although it is now commonly played with an open hand, the hand against which the tambourine is hit was mostly played with a closed fist. There is also a "riscado"/"repenicar" style which means vibrating the tambourine on the leather section. ==See also==
