"Hi. I'm Aaron Bland on behalf of Expert Village and I'm going to talk to you about the mounted tambourine. This is a version of a mounted tambourine where it can screw on to a piece of hardware or a lot of times, it's cool to put it on the hi hat, because that's right about the area that you would be using that kind of a surface. And you can use this for timekeeping, just like you would use the hi hat for. Right? And you could kind of use those two in conjunction as well. Playing from the hi hat to the tambourine and vice versa. Anything you can do on the hi hat, you can also play on the tambourine with a little bit of a different effect. Here's quarter notes, some eighth notes, some sixteenth notes, some offbeats, and then I'm probably going to embellish a little bit as well. Quarter notes. Eighth notes."
