How can we get on the beat?

Question

How do I avoid hurting/bruising my hands?

Andy Winder

Community Answer

You don't have to put too much pressure on the tambourine to play it. Strike the tambourine more softly if you often hurt or bruise your hands.

It's played whenever the music requires it. That could be on a downbeat or upbeat.

Question

Can you recommend the best tambourine for me as a beginner?

Mapley

Community Answer

I started with a CP380 tambourine ($14.99), but any headed tambourine should be good for a beginner.
