About miner playing some percussion (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tambourine

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'some percussion' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'about miner playing' is the wordplay.
'playing' is an anagram indicator.
'about'+'miner'='aboutminer'
'aboutminer' with letters rearranged gives 'TAMBOURINE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tambourine that I've seen before include "drum" , "Shaken instrument" , "Percussion instrument" , "One uses jingles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
