A compound percussion instrument comprises a first percussive instrument,
such as a tambourine (1). The tambourine (1) has a frame (2) having a rim
(3). A plurality of jingles (6) is mounted to the rim (3). A second
percussive instrument includes a hammer and an anvil. The hammer or anvil
may be a temple block (7) and the other of the hammer or anvil may be a
fixed or movable striker (11, 14). A trigger (13) is mounted to a handle
(5) of the tambourine (1). Actuation of the trigger (13) causes the
hammer to strike the anvil to sound a musical note from the second
percussive instrument. The compound percussion instrument may be played
with a single hand and allows two different musical sounds to be
obtained.
