Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

Originating from Afro-Brazilian traditions, the caxixi is a shaken idiophone that delivers a very lively percussive grain. This medium model sits in the middle of the range: larger than a small size, while remaining quick and easy to control.

Who This Drum/Instrument Is For

This caxixi is suitable for beginners as well as experienced percussionists. It naturally fits styles requiring fine rhythmic marking: capoeira, samba, bossa, Latin music, folk, acoustic pop, as well as sound design textures.

Features and Innovations

Its 22 cm size promotes a stable grip and precise playing. Depending on the angle and amplitude of the movement, you get drier attacks or a more "rolled" flow, ideal for doubling a pattern or creating a subtle offbeat.

Sound

The caxixi delivers a granular and articulated timbre, with a quick response to accents. The sound depends on the gesture and internal filling (more or less dense): ranging from a sharp snap to a more enveloping texture, perfect for supporting a groove without masking other instruments.
