Caixa de Guerra 12''x17cm snare wires+strings
Brand new from Rio´s special request Samba kitchen:The caixa de guerra 12'' x 17cm with strings and snare wires!Standard version with stringed batter head and snare wires on the resonance head. A really flexible instrument for Rio style baterias, especially if you only have a few caixas in your group. If you only have 1-3 caixa players, the sound is often quite thin. With a double string caixa and its snare wire feature a new sound spectrum appears, supporting the white sound effect. Experiment in different sound directions and find out which is the best 'molho' (juicyness of sound) for your group:Batter head - resonance: This combination contains more snare wire character, the caixa ís not tuned as high as standard caixas, yet more density of white sound sppears - juicy!Batter head - batter head: Try changing the resonance head for a normal nylon head. You can pitch up the caixa to the typical high Rio style level to have a dryer sound with more string than snare wires - fat sound!

The double stringed caixa intuitively sounds more muffled due to the strings strapped to both heads. With this, disturbing side effects have no chance. The caixa sounds super dry, just the tone we´re searching for for a Rio style bateria. By the way, this caixa even sounds great if it is not pitched too high!Obvious fact is - this is a Rio Style caixa with massive and super sound! Samba trend and design by IVSOM for XL-sound!

Furacaixa 12''x17cm
Furacaixa 12'' x 17cm - the caixa with resonance holes A perforated shell? A caixa with holes? After the caixa vazada (the bodyless caixa), Ivsom has developed another spectacular instrument that not only impresses with a witty look but also with a top-quality sound. Due to the perforations, the furacaixa has an open sound similar to the caixa vazada. On the one side, the holes function as amplifier, so the caixa sounds really loud, and on the other hand like a monitor, you hear yourself playing in a bateria a lot better. The rims on the caixa have a strong shell sound just like normal caixas. Another real treat for caixas players, especially for those who like to play em cima (above). The furacaixa sound has the typical Ivsom-style dry and crispy sound and extremely little sustain. Like all Ivsom instruments, the lugs are screwed flush into the brackets of the rim. All important details such as the rim on which the head sits on, the string bed, rims, threads etc. are well manufactured and easy to handle (no squeaking!). The hardware is galvanized (yellow). IVSOM, among other supplier, builds instruments for the Samba school of Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel in Rio de Janeiro. As a mechanic and caixa player himself, the producer has the ideal skills to build high quality Samba drums.

Flip the hybrid repinique over to make it sound like an amplified caixa. The longer shell increases the volume of the resonance body, so you have a larger sound volume and a lot more punch in the sound! Well-made components and materials, and the usual technical details of IVSOM instruments: the rods are screwed flush into the brackets of the rim.

A real eyecatcher!In Rio, the latest version of this instrument is the newest blowoff and ist literally shaking up the sambaschools: The Son Duplo tarol with no body!

Caixa de Guerra 14''x17cm double stringed
Double stringed 14'' x 17cm Caixa by IVSOM Samba trend and design by IVSOM for extra tight sound! Double stringing for a very dry and authentic Rio Style caixa sound. 14'' caixa with 6 strings on the playing side and another 6 strings on the inside of the resonance head. The strings on the inside of the resonance head have the effect that the resonance head is considerably muffled and thus sounds extremely dry (no sustain!). The snare effect is doubled. Double your sound - go double stringed An aspect for refined ears: often the typical Rio style caixas have a 'squeaky' overtone that automatically runs along when you play the instrument. The double-stringed caixa automatically sounds more muffled because of the strings on both heads, so any disturbing frequencies don't stand a chance. The caixa sounds super dry, as you would wish for any Rio Style bateria, and by the way, even if it is not tuned quite as high.Clearly another top Rio Style caixa by Ivsom with superb sound qualities - a pro tip for Mangueira fans!

In Brazil, the small drums with either simple guitar strings or the common snare wires are called caixas. In Rio, almost exclusively caixas with strings are used. The short, dry and very penetrant sound of tarol, caixa de guerra and malacacheta is typical for the Rio Samba. Caixas with snare wires or snare drums are commonly played in Maracatu, Samba-Reggae and Afro Samba styles as well as various other music styles.
