The rhythm guitar is played using a distinct percussive technique, "la pompe", that essentially replaces the drums; however, in Eastern gypsy jazz, rhythm section is most likely covered by one or two cymbaloms, or (less frequently) a cymbalom and an acoustic guitar (the cymbalom accompaniment technique is called in Romanian "ţiitură").

donricklin commented on the word cymbalom
cymbalom - Hammered dulcimer with many different names. There are actually oriental versions. Sizes range from small trapezoidal table top instruments through large self-standing concert grand Romanian/Hungarian instruments. A predecessor of the Piano Forte. The so called 'Appalachian Dulcimer' has no true relation to this one. It is one of many misnamed instruments.
