Tambourine Quotes
Ted, I noted, was very busy - at the pumps, at the glasses behind, the bottles below, the merrily ringing till, like a percussion-player in some modern work who dashes with confidence from xylophone to glockenspiel to triangle to wind-machine to big drum to tambourine.
Anthony Burgess
When you've shouted "Rule Brittania": when you've sung "God Save the Queen," When you've finished killing Kruger with your mouth, Will you kindly drop a shilling in my little tambourine For a gentleman in khaki headed South?
Rudyard Kipling
The tambourine jingle-jangles. The medium roams and rambles. Not taken in, I break the circle. I want this man To go away now.
Kate Bush
I've figured out what to do with my hands... onstage. I'm a percussion player, so I grab a tambourine as much as I can.
Taylor Hanson
I shook my tambourine the whole time, because it helped me remember that even though I was going through different neighborhoods, I was still me.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me. In the jingle-jangle morning, I'll come following you.
Bob Dylan
The subtlety of Brazilian rhythms comes from the type of instruments used. Afro-Cuban music has a scraper called the güiro which is played with a solid stick producing a loud scraping noise. This same instrument is paralleled in Braziliam music with the reco-reco, the difference being that the reco-reco is much smaller, less resonant, and played with something like a brush. The cabasa is a gourd wrapped in beads that is incapable of extremely loud noise. The same is true of the chocalho or cylinder, and the tambourine. A regular set of drums contrasts this. The result is a light rhythm that, unlike the conga, bongos and timbales of Afro-Cuban music, does not engulf the listener but permeates him. To this is usually added the guitar (unamplified) played finger-style, which completes the subtlety.
Clare Fischer
The moral of the story is not to listen to those who tell you not to play the violin but stick to the tambourine.
José Mourinho
