LIGHT 6" Aluminum Drum with 6 Tensioners – Contemporânea

The Contemporânea LIGHT 6" aluminum Tamborim with 6 tension rods is an essential instrument for musicians of samba, bossa nova, and Afro-Brazilian rhythms. Its lightweight aluminum body and extremely taut synthetic skin produce a dry, sharp, and highly articulate sound , perfect for cuts, repiques, and the characteristic phrasés of the tamborim.

This tamborim is played by holding it in the left hand while the right hand uses a wooden or plastic stick. The pressure of the middle finger on the inner part of the skin allows for precise modulation of the sound, offering a wide range of nuances. Its origin dates back to the Arabic membranophones (adufe), introduced to Brazil by the Portuguese, where it evolved to become a symbol of Brazilian percussion.

The LIGHT model stands out for its reduced weight (0.260 kg) , which facilitates technical execution during extended performances, rehearsals, or parades. Contemporânea 's build quality guarantees durability, tuning stability, and professional performance.
