Pandeiro is considered by many the Brazilian national music instrument. A short-shell frame drum with jingles, this quite sophisticated instrument allows the player a number of different sounds. Hitting the the outer part of the head with the thumb gives a low note while slaps on the center of it produces a dry, loud impact. As for the jingles, they add a crisp touch to the instrument’s overall range.
The pandeiro is played throughout Brazil in various types of music: Samba, choro, forró, capoeira, “regional”… A good pandeiro player is supposed to be able to imitate all sounds of a drum band (from very low to very high-pitched)

This model is particularly suitable for musicians accompanying Capoeira sessions or beginners.
