Are all arab frame drums similar to the classic tambourine?
« on: March 13, 2015, 09:11:59 AM »
I was wondering, since the mazhar, riq and other types of arab drums are not the regular type of instruments most people talk about, I thought I'd ask here: are they all similar to the classic tambourine?

Well, yes and no.
The tambourine doesn't have a skin, it's just a "circle" equipped with cymbals. You shake it and you have music. A frame drum is, in fact, a drum! :)
