A tamborim is a small, round Brazilian frame drum of Portuguese and African origin.This innovative tamborim has been ergonomically designed so that it's comfortable for use by Primary and Secondary pupils and it's also extremely hard wearing and easy to play. The unique design with covered tuning lugs also ensures that our Tamborim holds its tuning longer than anything else on the market.
 
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.
 
What it goes well with

 

The tamborim goes well with any of theother instruments in our Samba Value Packs.
 
How it's Made

 

The tamborim frame tends to be around 6" in width and may be made of metal, plastic, or wood. The head is typically made of nylon and is normally very tightly tuned in order to ensure a high, sharp timbre and a minimum of sustain. The drum doesn't have any snares or jingles.

 
 
How to look after it

 

The tamborim can be wiped down with a damp cloth.
