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. The practice chocalho from Contemporânea has the classic wood stick shape, weighs about the same as a normal chocalho and also has amazingly authentic qualities in other respects - except for that it's silent. 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.

Xequebalde

Xequebalde - 'shaker bucket' A shaker bucket with rivets - exciting sound elements for creative minds! Xeque- from the word xequeré and -balde from bucket in Portuguese.Once again a wonderfully peculiar instrument from Brazil. It used to be an absolute rarity, but nowadays it can be found more often in Pagode sessions and in the set-ups of leading percussionists. The idea is as simple as it is ingenious: instead of putting a bead net over a gourd, loosely moving screws or rivets are used in a simple metal ''bucket'' shell. By moving the shell back and forth, the screws hit the wall and produce a hissing, metallic sound, remotely similar to that of a xequeré, only louder and sharper. Accents can be made on the bucket with the hands. In addition, if you hold the Xequebalde horizontally with one hand from the inside, or place it upside down on a base, you can use the bottom of the bucket as a playing surface. This way the xequebalde practically functions as a rebolo and a xequerés in one instrument. The xequebalde offers a wide range of different possibilities of use and sound.

If you are into fat, authentic chocalho sound, you've found the right one!Classical zinc sheet jingles that sound so authentic that you might think you are in a bateria rehearsal somewhere in Rio. An anatomical shaped handel for perfect handling, clean processing and good portion of style with glittering hologram sheeting.

This also amplifies the tone coming from the middle of the instrument and is then thrown back through the apertures. A kind of a sound chamber it is, a chocalho which amplifies itself! The handles are attached to the main body with screws.A loud, penetrant and authentic chocalho!Zinc sheet jingles - great sound but dirty fingers: zinc sheet produces abrasion!

The rocar or chocalho has taken over the former part of the ganzá in all Samba schools. Its loud and penetrant sound creates a strong base for the other instruments. It contributes a high per centage to a good swing in any modern samba bateria and covers the high frequency, the socalled white noise. Different types of chocalhos come as metal frames or wood handle rocars, and also in compact sizes for kids or young sambistas. Typical Rio-Samba style instrument!
