Tamborim Larger Text + | Smaller Text - The tamborim is a small (six inch diameter) Brazilian drum with a wood, metal, or plastic frame and a single plastic drumhead. It resembles a tambourine but has no jingles. The drumhead is tuneable and is usually tuned very tightly to produce a sharp, high-pitched tone when struck. The tamborim is commonly used in many forms of Brazilian music such as samba and pagode. To play a tamborim, the drummer holds it in one hand with the fingers wrapped around the frame and the thumb resting on the drumhead. The index finger can then be used to dampen the sound when the drumhead is hit to produce higher and lower tones. With the other hand, the drummer hits the top of the drumhead with a thin wooden stick or a flexible plastic stick made of several strands bound together. The drummer may also flip the tamborim upside-down and upright rapidly as it is being struck. Tamborims are necessary to produce the sharp, high-pitched tone required for different forms of Brazilian music. However, they can also be used in other musical styles. Drummers and percussionists who wish to further expand their percussion repertoires, can utilize the unique tamborim sound in a wide variety of ways. Monthly Specials For May |
