❓❓❓ Confused about how to pick the best beginner Layne Redmond style tambourine? I tested 9 new tambourines, and here are my top 3 picks! Plus, I'll share the criteria I used, the 5 key elements that go into how to choose which tambourine is right for you.

🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ Hi, I'm The Rhythm Inlet's Barbara Gail. For 27 years, my partner and I owned, managed, and ran a small music store solely focused on hand-drums and world percussion, and ukuleles.

I'm also a longtime student of the late Layne Redmond, & her legacy, "When the Drummers Were Women: a Spiritual History of Rhythm".

🌸⚪️🌸 Inspired by her work with The Mob of Angels, I love teaching tambourine processions in Layne's tradition of ritual & reverie, meditation & magic, ceremony & celebration, healing & heart-connection.

🆓🆓 "The Tambourine Path" is a YouTube series of free, fun, informative video lessons, here in YouTube Land.

🎞🎞 In today's video, I'm answering the questions that beginners have been asking since my first video came out on the subject, 'Which Tambourine?'

🙌🏽 🙌🏽 So together, let's choose a drum that's best for you!

🔗🔗 Below are Amazon links to these drums that I recommend, & Layne's book, "When the Drummers Were Women".

🌸⚪️🌸 Predominantly played by women in group processions, in the temples & in the streets of the Ancient Mediterranean World, this beautiful & transformational instrument is a member of the frame drum family.

❤️❤️ Today my passion & purpose in sharing these videos are born from over 27 years of teaching & facilitating myriad programs in group rhythm, movement, & hand-drumming for people of all ages, abilities, & challenges.

🎶💜🎶 This includes tambourine processional troupes infused with sacred space called 'Moonrise: Daughters of an Ancient Pulse'; women's fusion groups called 'DrumRise! the Art of Women's Drumming'; & drum-song-dance circles for healing, transformation & empowerment, called 'Women, Rhythm, & Ritual'.

✨😎✨ I continue to weave my drum magic, because drumming helps to alchemize the intensity & density of individual & collective energies, into a lighter, higher vibration. So let's keep drumming!

❤️❤️ Dedicated as always to the memory of Layne Redmond. May her soul continue to drum with Mobs of Angels.

🙏🏽🙏🏽 Thank you for joining me!
🌀🌀Until next time, may your day be in rhythm.

🌸⚪️🌸 One drum, one dance, one song, one heart,

LINKS to drums & resources:

Layne Redmond's book describes the herstory of the ancient frame drum: "When the Drummers Were Women". https://amzn.to/37h57pi

NOTE!!! Tosnail's Tambourine: fixed 10" synthetic head, double-row 8 pairs of jingles, wood frame. https://amzn.to/3eGBCzU UPDATE: in early 2022 I purchased tambourines for my workshop. Of the 6 Tosnail drums, I kept only 2 out of 10! 😕 Therefore I can no longer recommend these for you! I’m so disappointed! The Remo TA 5210s & Layne Redmond Lotuses however, are still good. If possible, order a few, test them, & return the ones you don’t wish to keep. Works best with Amazon Prime. Double check for free returns. Good luck! Questions? I’m here to answer & support your Tambourine Path. 🥰
