Traditionally, on the Motown recordings, it's a Ludwig tambourine.

In this video clip, he's using a Grover tambourine.

Here's a thread from 2005 where we discussed this very topic:

Thankx man. You know everything about percussion. Do you happen to know what size?

Bart Elliott

10-inch tambourine ... which is a standard size for most brands.

I'm not sure what brand the Tambourine is. It's a dark wood shell with the head cut-off.

I think more than anything I enjoyed laughing at the sight of the "Reverend" Jesse Jackson introducing Issac Hayes.
