Cuica - product guide

Cuicas come in different sizes from 6'' to 10''. The standard size is the 9'' cuica. The larger the skin, the louder the instrument. Not only the size but also the skin´s thickness influences the sound. The 6'' cuica is built very simple and is extremely light-weighted. For playing in the bateria it is definitively not loud enough. If you want to get to know the cuica as an instrument or you´re just looking for a cheap and handy travel-instrument, this size is just right.

Some manufacturers produce cuicas from expensive inox (stainless steel) with brass hardware. Those instruments are very pretty and are definitively for a lifetime. Cuicas made out of steel sheet are a lot cheaper. They are galvanized (Artcelsior) or coated (Contemporânea). Cuicas have become quite expensive lately, so this material is an attractive and a more favourable alternative. The material of the body does not really have any influence on the sound of the cuica. Here the choice of the skin, the gambito (bamboo cuica stick) and last but not least of course your playing technique is much more important than any material choice.

Natural skins sound fantastic but can cause difficulties. The thickness of the skin is an important factor and influences the sound. A thicker skin is louder than a thin one but it doesn´t react so easy. A thin skin is great for playing melodies, but the sound is less loud. The little bamboo stick (gambito) is knotted into the skin and is exchangable when broken. Synthetic skins are quite practical. The gambito can be screwed into a thread which is attached to the skin, so it´s really easy to replace. The volume is pretty similar to a thick goat skin head. Still, a systhetic head can never replace a goat skin head.

Izzo
Cuica 06''x20cm inox
6" pocket-cuica, inox shellIt really is a pretty small cuica - but it's not a toy! The 6" cuica by Izzo is absolutely sound-compatible! Sure, for a large bateria you will have to go for a larger size, but for a small session or a weekend trip with some Pagodes, this one here is just perfect! The goatskin head is all ready to play with the gambito tied in. You might find it helpful to sand the bamboo stick down a little bit with a piece of sandpaper, with that the head will respond more easily. Keep in mind that the thinner the gambito is, the more sensitive it gets.The shell is made of stainless steel, the hardware is chromed, rustical and well made. Cuicas are funny little instruments, not so easy to play but always a big enrichment. You will see it a lot in Brazil, here it is becoming more and more popular.A very diverse, original an authentic instrument and a great supplement to have in any Samba session!

Cuica 10''x30cm inox
Cuica with inox shell in 10'' - hoop and 10 galvanised steel rodsWell made inox cuica in classical 10'' format and pretty hide head - makes a cuiqueiros heart beat faster instantly! 10 tension rods of zincked steel and a tension hoop painted in brass look. In terms of sound you'll have no problem at all finding your place in any well-sized bateria. This cuica is well made with a simple finish and neatly cut threads. The seam of the body is welded like all Gope instruments. Welded shells produce a higher and more audible part of shell sound than e.g. grooved shells as their shell vibrates better. Cuicas are a great enrichment for any Samba band. It is fun playing and watching them and they also bring a whole new soundscape to a Samba.Tip: If the stick is too thick, grab some sand paper and sand down the bamboo stick carefully until it's thinner. It does get more fragile, but you will find that the cuica will react more easily!With an overall height of 31.5cm, the cuica is unfortunately a tad too high for our 10''x30cm bags.

Cuica 09''x28cm aluminium
9'' allrounder CuicaIt’s not just the dancers who light up when a cuica joins in! This little friction drum brings singing, squeaking or whining tones into your bateria or Samba Pagode - adding loads of character and a playful, unmistakable sound.This lightweight 9'' cuica by Gope, a trusted maker from the São Paulo area, features a welded aluminum shell, a natural skin mounted on an aluminum ring, and powder-coated black hardware. Like all Gope instruments, the shell is welded at the seam - which enhances resonance and gives the drum a fuller, more vibrant tone as the body can vibrate more freely.With just an inch less in diameter than a 10'' cuica, the overall volume and tone ist quite similar and depends more on the shell’s material and build. That’s exactly where Gope shines: lightweight, sturdy, and great-sounding - perfect for anyone looking for a reliable cuica that's ready for the bateria but won’t weigh you down.

Timbal 14'' x 90 cm mit 16 Spannhaken für hohe Spannung, AluminiumkesselHöchste Stimmung, klare und knackige Slaps, kräftige open Tones, satte Bässe - das Modell mit 16 Spannhaken der Top-Marke Timbra hält knackig-hohe Stimmungen aus! Viele Axé-Popbands, Samba Reggae Blocos und auch Sambaschulen in Rio folgen seit einigen Jahren dem Trend, Timbals extrem hoch zu stimmen. Um die hohen Kräfte, die beim Hochstimmen entstehen, besser zu verteilen und den Kessel nicht zu überlasten, wird die Spannung über mehr Spannhaken auf den Kessel verteilt. Ein zusätzlicher Verstärkungsring hilft bei der Kräfteverteilung. Der Korpus ist für die Stimmungen gebaut, die mit einer traditionellen Timbal nicht realisierbar wären. Sehr gute Verarbeitung.Mehr Material, wie Spannhaken und Verstärkungselemente, bedeutet natürlich auch mehr Gewicht. Doch sobald die Timbal auf der Bühne im Ständer steht, spielt das keine Rolle mehr – jeder zusätzliche Gramm ist es für den Sound wert! Mit einem guten Gurt kannst Du die Timbal natürlich auch einfach wie gewohnt tragen.Ein echtes optisches Highlight, ein klangliches Vergnügen, robust und hochwertig verarbeitet, im original Bahian Style – diese Timbal hat seinen Platz in verschiedenen musikalische Welten, von Blocos und Baterias hin zu Brasil-, Jazz-, Pop- oder Weltmusikbands.
