An advanced playing technique is known as the thumb or finger roll.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Playing Techniques - Vienna Symphonic Library|url=https://www.vsl.co.at/en/Playing_Techniques/Tambourine-Rolls|access-date=28 July 2020|website=Vsl.co.at}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Five Tips To Perfecting A "Thumb Roll"|url=https://groverpro.com/five-tips-to-perfecting-a-thumb-roll|access-date=28 July 2020|website=groverpro.com}}</ref> The middle finger or thumb is moved over the skin or rim of the tambourine, producing a fast roll from the jingles on the instrument. The thumb or middle finger of the hand not holding the tambourine is run around the head of the instrument approximately one centimeter from the rim with some pressure applied. If performed correctly, the finger should bounce along the head rapidly, producing the roll. Usually, the end of the roll is articulated using the heel of the hand or another finger. [[Beeswax]] or [[rosin]] is commonly smeared around the edges of the head to assist in the technique. These materials increase friction making it easier to execute. A continuous roll can be achieved by moving the thumb in a "figure of 8" pattern around the head.
