Tamborim

The tamborim is like a small drum that you play with your hands. It is a special type of drum that comes from Brazil. The tamborim is made of a round frame with a piece of plastic or animal skin stretched tightly across it. The skin makes a special sound when you hit it.

To play the tamborim, you hold it in one hand and hit the skin with a stick or your fingers. You can hit it in different ways to make different sounds. Sometimes you hit it in the middle, and sometimes you hit it near the edge. You can also tap it quickly or slowly to change the sound.

People in Brazil use tamborims when they play samba music. Samba is a type of music and dance that is very popular in Brazil. The tamborim is an important instrument in a samba band, and it helps to keep the beat of the music. When many tamborims are played together, it creates a really exciting and energetic sound.

Tamborims are also used in other types of music around the world, but they have a special place in Brazilian culture. They are fun to play and make a great sound that everyone loves. So, if you ever get the chance, try playing a tamborim and see how much fun it can be!
