The Kanjira, although simple in appearance and small in size, is part of the rich and complex South Indian classical drumming legacy. In the hands of a master this "simple" tambourine keeps pace with other instruments of the Carnatic drumming family, the Mridangam, and the Ghatam. It has one pair of jingles and is played resting in the palm of one hand with which it is squeezed to produce inflection in the tone. At the same time, it is struck with the other hand.
The John Bergamo Signature Series Kanjira is made with an ACOUSTICON shell, is tunable and allows quick head replacement. It also includes a specially-developed laminated drumhead that creates a warm, dark tone with few overtones.
