The sound from the Tambourine is created from pieces called 'zills'.
The tambourine dates back at least 3700 years and probably developed in ancient Egypt before it was then introduced to ancient Greece and many other countries. The rough timeline is based on its description in writings and in art, notably pottery. The sound from a tambourine is made by shaking or tapping the instrument - which may or may not have a percussive 'cover' like a drum - which then rattles the small metal disks which are a component of the tambourine, and are attached in a variety of ways. These metal disks are called zills. A zill is also a metallic finger cymbal and is often seen used by belly dancers.
