Not so much an instrument, as a certain combination: the Bass Drum and Glockenspiel.
I have no idea where this dreadful mismatch originated.
I recall it from amateur marching-bands, dressed in fancy outfits suggesting the Beatles' Sgt Pepper LP sleeve, in the annual, large Carnival processions our town used to have.
I don't think they had other instruments - maybe the odd trumpet or two, perhaps a side-drum or so - but if you think Drum-and-Bass bad, don't go near that enthusiastic -
- Boom-Boom-Tinkle-Tinkle-Boom-Jingly-Jangle-Boom..... -
- of two or three bass drums and several high-pitched glockenspiels!
