Rhythm instrument (7)

I believe the answer is:

maracas

(Other definitions for maracas that I've seen before include "Spanish percussion instruments" , "they'll be shaken" , "Mascara for the Spanish instruments" , "Shaken instruments" , "Handheld percussion instruments" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
