Jingle snare is what this coud be called. That is where it works best. I tried this on toms and it just doesn't get it. However, when you have it on a snare you really get a good "poppy" sound and the decay is really quick. It is very easy to loosen while leaving in place. I was surprised at that fact (you know how little it takes to make jingles jingle) but these don't when they aren't on the drum head. Great way to add a little something to your snare sounds.

This is mainly used for a snare or tom/tamborine sound. Keep that in mind before ordering! This attaches to the rim and can be limited. I use this on a aux snare to achieve the jingle/snare backbeat. When I need my aux snare sound I flip the Clamp off and put it on my stand. Takes only about 15-30 seconds. I have also tried this with a tom mounted to a floor cowbell pedal and achieved a very unique pleasing sound.

I tried one of these out at a local retailer. At first they seemed like they would be cool because they clamped on nicely to the snare rim, and there's a second adjustment nut to lower the posts to head level. However, I could not get these to jingle whatsoever regardless of how softly or firmly they pressed against the snare head. The jingles simply aren't sensitive enough to respond to the vibration of the snare head.

It's possible that with a much louder snare strike that these will respond, but the loudness of the snare will more than drown out three cheap tambourine bells.
