bendir

A single-headed Moroccan frame drum. Unlike a tambourine or pandeira, it has no jingles but most often has a snare (usually made of gut) stretched across inside its head (as shown), which when the drum is struck with the fingers or palm gives the tone a buzzing quality. Bendirs come in several sizes.
