Caixa de Guerra Tarol 14''x10cm

Caixa for Samba Reggae, 14'' x 10 cm – Aluminium, GopeSamba Reggae like in Salvador! This caixa is a bit different from the standard ones – it has a slimmer shell, which is usually a few centimeters taller in other models. The result? Less sustain, giving you a crisp, lighter sound that fits perfectly into Samba Reggae rhythms, and the reduced weight makes it a great choice for long parades or performances.The shell is made of aluminum with a welded seam and snare wires that are permanently engaged. Unlike a standard drum kit snare, which often has a mechanism to disengage the wires for quieter moments, Samba caixas are designed with the snare wires fixed in place for a continuous resonance that defines the style. Thanks to the welded construction, the metal vibrates more freely, giving the sound a full, rich resonance.The hardware is slim but sturdy, inspired by Gope’s popular lightweight surdos, which helps keep the instrument light without sacrificing durability.If you’re after a caixa that’s easy to carry, sounds crisp, and works perfectly for Samba Reggae, this one from Gope is definitely worth a look!

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!

Caixa de Guerra 12''x17cm double stringed

Double stringed 12'' x 17cm caixa by IVSOMRio style caixa players listen up:Twice as many strings for twice as much sound!This beauty has 6 strings on the batter side and 6 more strings on the inside of the resonance head.The strings on the inside of the resonance head have a muffling effect, producing a massive dry sound. The snare-sound is simply doubled!Double stringed - double sound!An aspect for fine ears: often the typical Rio-style caixas have an annoying overtone, which automatically appears when you start playing the instrument. 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!

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).

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.
