HEY, MR. TAMBOURINE MAN!
This past weekend, I went to see a neighborhood rock band. A guy my friend is seeing is in this band.
On this humid, sweaty, Saturday night, we walked into what looked like a school auditorium, with ceiling fans swirling above us. The band was in the corner--a keyboard player, a drummer, 3 guitarists, 1 sax player, 1 trumpet player, and this guy playing the tambourine with a set of bongos in front of him.
Me: Which one's your guy?
Friend: He's playing the tambourine.
Me: (Silent)
Friend: But he plays the bongos, too. I don't know why, but I find that really sexy in a guy.
Me: (Silent)
It turned out that he also played the drums, and rather well.
My question: Does a tambourine have a place in a rock band?

Yes, it totally has a place in a rock band. But there's usually a hot chick playing it.

Listen to Jet's "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" Think the tambourine may also be in some of their other songs, but I can't remember which off the top of my head. Played by Nic Cester, the lead vocalist, I think.
Have a lovely day! :-)

I think a tambourine can be cool -- a lot of seventies songs have one in them.
I'd be more weirded out by the bongos -- no offense to your friend or her guy, though! :-)
