The pandero jarocho is an octagonal tambourine traditionally played by men in the Veracruz region of Mexico. [1] [2] The instrument may also be played by both men and women in school music groups. [1]

It has a wooden frame with leather stretched across and metal jingles. [1] [2] Instruments may be as large as 13 inches in diameter, and may be "circular or some geometric shape." [1]

The instrument is sounded through "direct striking" with the thumb or fingers or through "friction...sliding and pressing the skin." [1]
