"Anel" means ring – and while no ring is included, this instrument is traditionally played with one. The repique de anel is a hand drum often heard in Pagode, featuring natural skins on both sides, allowing it to be played from either side.
When played with a ring, it produces counter rhythms that add a unique texture to the sound. Some percussionists also stick coins or small metal pieces loosely onto the aluminum shell with a piece of tape. Tapping on them with the non-dominant hand creates a distinctive, layered soundscape.
Of course, the repique de anel can also be played like a classic repique de mão, with the natural skins delivering a warm, full-bodied tone. With its black hardware and matte brushed finish, it’s as striking visually as it is sonically.

GOPE is a family-run business from the area around São Paulo. Today the company is being run in its third generation by the grand daughter of the firm´s founder.
The brand GOPE has been producing drums and smallpercussion instruments for over 50 years now. When the company was founded, there was already a small workshop in which drumsets were manufactured.
In 1962, the production of the typical Samba instruments began, iniciated by Humberto Rodella, the son of the founder. The company kept growing and after several relocations in São Paulo, GOPE finally found the right place for building a large production hall in Embu Guaçu, a suburb of São Paulo.
Since then GOPE produces in Embu Guaçu everything from the Agogô to the Zabumba, a wide range of percussion instruments, and only recently also various wind instruments.
GOPE has always kept in close touch with the musicians. The ideas and proposals for modifications that they received from many of those contacts, have always had much influence in the development of new instruments and improvement of production.
