FWIW, Buddy Helm, a drummer of my acquaintance who I've mentioned here, and who played with Tim Buckley (and even briefly with Zappa) back in the olden days, attaches a tambo to a drum pedal and uses it as a timekeeper while playing djembe. It works really well for what he does these days, which is to teach spiritual drumming seminars all around the country.
I was so impressed that I bought a crappy used pedal on Ebay and tried it myself. That's how I learned exactly how bad a drummer I really am.
