A friend surprised me today with the gift of what I can best describe as a foot tambourine. It is a partial tambourine which you attach to your foot with an elastic strap so your foot taps are more audible.

I need to do some practise with it so that I can do different patterns like every beat, the back beat (2 & 4), just the 1 and other time signatures. However, it should be very handy when I want to add an extra rhythm layer to various music making endeavours.
