Linha Estudo Silent Samba Instruments

Linha Estudo - Silent Samba Instruments by Contemporânea

Quiet percussion instruments that can easily be practised at home are more popular than ever. The lockdown of the recent months has made things difficult for many hobby and professional musicians without access to rehearsal spaces.

The industry reacted with some terrific choices of creative silent instruments, and now the response for sambistas from all over the world has arrived freshly from Brazil: Contemporânea has launched their silent samba gear line called Linha Estudo - a selection of silent samba percussion instruments for rehearsing outside a normal band practise. The benefits and functionality of the silent percussion instruments will extend far beyond the lockdown times, quite simply because the concept of silent percussion gear is ingenious. If you are intrigued by the idea of playing bateria instruments in your home, you can find more information in our special article on silent instruments:

6+ tips why you need a silent instrument

In addition to the Samba-multitool Multi-Pad, which is designed for silent practice on a variety of Samba instruments such as caixa, caixa emcima, repinique, timbal, surdo, repique de mão and even the pandeiro, the Linha Estudo also features a tamborim practice pad (AB+) with a deep frame as well as an absolute novelty - the Silent Chocalho and a Silent Pandeiro. With rubberised plastic "jingles" and true-to-the-original weighting, from now on the chocalho section can practice at home without causing a ruckus with the neighbours. A practise chocalho enables beginners to join their bateria directly from their first day on.

Contemporânea have completed a very successful test phase with their endorsers, now we are looking forward to receiving the gear in our shop and are curious to hear what you think about it.
Here are a few examples of silent instruments played by Contemporânea endorsers:

Rocar Linha Estudo
Silent practice chocalho for at-home playing, quiet outdoor rehearsals and warm-ups - Contemporânea Chocalhos are loud instruments by nature that are technically quite demanding and can always use some practice outside the regular band rehearsals.

Features: Coated wood-shaped stick chocalho with anatomically shaped handles 20 pairs of synthetic jingles 950 g and thus pretty much the same weight as a normal bateria chocalho The aluminium bars, which are normally mounted on the side of the wood underneith the jingle pins to absorb the friction of the metal jingles and also amplify the sound, have instead been attached to the top and bottom of the wood handle to create a balanced and authentic practice weight Black matt finish Perfect for: Advanced and pro players for technical training at home and outside the rehearsal room Warm-up before gigs Group training outside the normal rehearsal space or outdoors where loud noise is not allowed Beginners who need extra practice or would like to play more, also outside the rehearsal room, e.g. in their home Beginners who are not yet expected enough to play actively at gigs have the perfect opportunity with a silent instrument to gain playing experience and, for example, to join their band at concerts without affecting the quality of the gig or the band with ''beginner's mistakes'' or musical deficits.
