Contemporanea 6" Tamborim 6 lugs in Aluminium
The tamborim is a small drum that is widely used in different styles of Brazilian music, especially samba and pagode. It has a shallow frame with a tight head made of either plastic or animal skin.
To play the tamborim, you strike the drumhead with a stick or mallet held in one hand. The other hand can be used to stabilize the drum or create additional tones by pressing against the drumhead. It produces a clear and vibrant sound that stands out in the ensemble, adding rhythmic accents and embellishments to the music.
In samba music, the tamborim plays a vital role in the rhythm section, contributing to the intricate patterns and syncopated grooves that define the genre. It often plays repetitive and syncopated patterns called "repiques," which provide a driving pulse and energize the music.
The tamborim is also commonly used in pagode, a popular style of Brazilian music known for its relaxed and social atmosphere. In pagode, the tamborim often accompanies acoustic guitars and singers, bringing rhythmic texture and excitement to the music.
