Sussana uses this technique and it is derived from the main stroke used on the baya drum in Indian tabla drumming.

The holding hand grips the pandeiro as usual but with all fingers. If you hold it horizontal and then start to twist your wrist so coming towards you stop at about 45 degrees, then twist it back to horizontal= 2x16ths.
Speed up this motion so you get a regular quiet chick, chick from the platinelas. If you hold your other hand, without moving it, above it so it touches the upper and lower rim, you get a better, more definite ''chick'' sound.
That mon ami is the 'constant sixteenths note patterns holding hand motion'
It feels difficult at first, but leaves the other hand to play the melody.
Hope that helps
