Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
Born in Rio's samba schools, batucada brings together complementary sections: the surdo provides the pulse, the repinique leads the calls, the tamborim cuts through the mix, while ganza, agogo, and apito structure the ensemble. This aluminium pack offers a versatile solution: sufficient to form a complete rhythmic core, with a lightweight and durable design intended for intensive use in rehearsals and parades.
Who This Set Is For
Designed for beginners to intermediate players as well as instructors, it covers the main Brazilian styles: samba, samba-reggae, afro-samba, and carnival batucada. Its selection of instruments and accessories makes it an effective educational tool for workshops, student fanfares, music schools, and street collectives.
Features and Innovations
The aluminium shells provide lightness, resistance to oxidation, and projection. The 8-lug tamborim offers high and stable tension, essential for fast patterns. Dedicated sticks (wooden surdo mallet, wooden repinique stick, 5-strand nylon "baqueta" for tamborim) ensure proper technique and consistent touch. Hook straps facilitate dynamic carrying during parades.
The combination of three tamborims, one repinique, and accompanying percussion (ganza, agogo, apito) allows for a complete section work: calls, responses, breaks, and timbre variations are immediately accessible without additional purchases.
Sound
The aluminium surdos project a clear low end with a sharp attack and excellent clarity outdoors. The 16-inch (higher pulse) and 18-inch (lower pulse) complement each other to create a deep bass foundation with controlled sustain. The metal repinique delivers a bright timbre, very present in the mid-high range for calls and viradas.
The metal tamborims with tight heads produce a sharp strike, ideal for carimbo patterns and syncopated off-beats. The aluminium ganza offers a steady rustle that locks into the groove, while the chrome agogo provides distinct intervals for polyrhythmic motifs. The tri-tone apito structures musical direction with clear signals.
