Buben
Yes.. Yes.. You might think "This is just a normal tambourine, well maybe a Russian tambourine." Yes you are correct, a buben is equivalent to a tambourine... But most bubens will have a tight membrane stretched over it unlike a normal tambourine, this allows the buben to also be struck and be played as a drum. Thats why its classified as both a membranophone and an idiophone.
Just like all other tambourines a buben consists of a wooden or metal hoop with some kinds of clanking metal rings, plates, cymbals, jingles or little bells. It is held in the hand and can be played in numerous ways, from stroking or shaking the jingles to striking it sharply with a hand on the membrane or using drum sticks to do that.
Buben has a short duration just like most other percussion instruments would and also low pitch but it does have a wild range of volume as it is controlled by how hard you hit. The tone colour is very distinctive here, with the dry, muted and sombre sound coming from the drum while with a the tinge of sparkling, bright and ringing sound coming from the Jingles.
