Description

 

A tamborim beater is a small wooden drumstick or a beater made of several flexible nylon or polyacetal threads bound together. These LTL tamborim whips contain a unique mix of PVC and Nylon so that they can flex during play without breaking
 
How it's Played

 

The tamborim is held with the weaker hand (that's the left hand if you're right-handed) with the thumb either crossing the rim and resting on the drumhead, or gripping the frame. The other fingers are curled under the rim, with the index typically applying and releasing pressure on the underside of the head to achieve higher or lower notes. The beater is held with the strong hand and the head is struck a little off-center. A playing technique called virado is often used, in which the drum is flipped upside-down in the middle of the pattern, which produces one note that is slightly delayed, giving the samba its characteristic lilt. The instrument may also be struck on the rim.
 
Traditionally

 

The tamborim is used in many genres of Brazilian music. It is most commonly associated with samba and pagode, but is also used in chorinho, bossa nova, and some northeastern folklore rhythms such as cucumbi.
