tambour militaire

English: French military drum.

The tambor (Spanish) or tambour (French) or tambora (Afro-Caribbean?) is an effect used in classical and flamenco guitar playing to imitate the sound of a tuned drum. (The tambora is actually a percussion instrument with a low range that makes a low deep sound--you could think of it as a bass drum.)

An Italian term for snare drum.

drum The word "tabor" is simply an English variant of a Latin-derived word meaning "drum" - cf. French: tambour, Italian: tamburo It has been used in the military as a marching instrument, and has been used as accompaniment in parades and processions.

Tambourines are often used with regular percussion sets. They can be mounted, for example on a stand as part of a drum kit (and played with drum sticks), or they can be held in the hand and played by tapping, hitting, or shaking the instrument. Tambourines come in many shapes with the most common being circular.

The tambourin is a low-pitched tenor drum of Provence, which has also lent its name to a Provençal dance accompanied by lively duple meter music. The dance is so named because the music imitates the drum (tambour being a generic French term for "drum"), usually as a repetitive not-very-melodic figure in the bass.

The word 'tambour' originates from French, meaning a small drum (hence 'tambourine' – a small drum with jingling metal discs around the sides).

tambour, embroidery worked on material that has been stretched taut on a tambour frame, which consists of two wooden hoops, one slightly larger than the other, fitting close together. The embroidery is worked with a needle or a tambour hook.

While the origins of tambour embroidery are not entirely known, it is thought to have developed in India, known as aari embroidery, in the 17th century and been brought over to France and Britain during the 18th century, where it developed into what we now know as tambour.

percussion instrument A tambor (drum) produces sound by vibrations of a stretched membrane when struck and instruments like these are also known as membranophones. The tambor is also categorized as a percussion instrument.

The tamborim can also be confused with the pandeiro, the Brazilian version of the tambourine. Unlike the tambourine, however, the tamborim has no jingles and is played with a wooden stick, a finger, or a bundle of long flexible nylon rods that strike the head all at once.

A tambour is a frame drum without the jingles of the more common tambourine. Play this instrument simply by hitting the head with your hand or with a beater to produce a clear sound with a deep, warm tone.
