Robust red plastic tambourine that is moulded to fit snugly on the top of you shoe or foot if you play barefoot. The elastic appears to be sourced from a strong enough material that doesn't look like it will snap in a hurry. The sound is great, a gentle but clear timbre and you can vary the volume by how hard you hit the ground. Still early days but noticed that there is scope to develop technique by shaking foot a little as well as tapping foot. Excellent way of adding some percussion to songs whilst playing guitar, ukulele and the like.
