What is a "tabor"?
A tabor is a small, cylindrical drum with a shallow shell and two drumheads, one on each end. It is typically made of wood and is played with a stick or hand. The tabor produces a sharp, crisp sound and is often used in traditional and folk music, frequently alongside a pipe or flute. Historically, it was popular in medieval and Renaissance music for dance and ceremonial occasions. The tabor’s compact size and distinctive rhythmic tone make it ideal for adding a lively beat to performances.
