Head 22'' Nylon
€43.99
22“ nylon head / single-layered surdo head by ContemporâneaThe single-layered 22'' standard nylon heads by Contemporânea are classic surdo heads with very responsive and high vibration behaviour, which clear and light sound spectrum can conveniently be used on both surdo sides (superior and/or resonance head). The thickness of your surdo head contributes significantly to the general sound characteristics of your instrument, therefore it is important to know what sound you like and are looking to achieve, and how your surdo shell reacts in combination with the head. 22'' surdos play the bass lines in Samba styles, so if you are looking for a light but full sound with much sustain and overtones, a single-layered head is a good choice. Single-layered nylon heads are very responsive and intentionally overtone-based, if you feel you'd like a bit less, you can easily muffle the head with some tape; single-layered nylon heads are durable, weatherproof and can be used on both sides as batter or resonance head on a surdo - all good reasons why this type of head is so very popular. Single-layered nylon heads are the thinner standard version by Contemporânea and are very responsive with a clear, light sound and intentionally rich in overtones due to their vibrating stronger than thicker heads. You will notice that a while after putting on a new head on your surdo, the sound will change positively. A new head will usually sound a bit whiny in the beginning, it needs to find its 'groove' first. As soon as it gets used to the tension, the rim of the shell and to being played regularly, the sound will settle nicely. As usual - good things are worth waiting for. A thin nylon head is suitable for you if you like the clear and light sound and if you want a head with an easy response.
Head 12'' napa / korino black
€18.00
Korino Head 12'' by Contemporânea – perfect for rebolos and tan tansThe 12'' Korino head by Contemporânea is made from double-ply synthetic materials - artificial nappa leather and nylon. This construction delivers a warm, bassy sound and is especially popular for hand drums like rebolos and tan tans.Important: Korino heads are sensitive to hard beaters. Using beaters with insufficient padding can cause permanent dents in the head, affecting its sound quality. We strongly recommend using only soft beaters with plenty of padding to ensure the head's durability and achieve the best possible sound.The 12'' Korino head is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a warm sound and reliable drumhead for their Rebolo or Tan Tan.
Hide head 08''
€32.00
Hide head 8'' goat skin - aluminium rimInformation for hide heads on aluminium rims:Natural heads tend to twist when unmounted, especially with when temperature and humidity changes. This can happen as well with heads on wood rims as with skins in aluminium rims. The aluminium hoops are grouted in a way that leaves a small open joint gap. This is not a defect nor a broken seam, but a tiny tolerance which is there on purpose so that the head can expand or tighten without damaging the hoop or the head when air moisture changes. If you have received a twisted head with an open gap on the aluminium rim, then that is quite normal and with only a few steps the head will easily fit on your instrument shell: Slightly moisten the head, wait a couple of minutes, then fit it on the shell and put your instrument back together loosely. Only put tension on the head once it has dried completely and in a natural way; this will usually take overnight. As soon as there is tension on the head, wrinkles and the twist will disappear and the head will easily adjust to the shape of the instrument shell. If you have any questions about mounting a head, please contact us.
Purchasing replacement heads:If you are buying a replacement head for your instrument, we advise that you get a head from the same brand as your instrument as they should fit without any trouble. If you buy a head from a different brand, you might find that the fit slightly differs or even doesn't go on the shell well or at all. Please understand that we cannot offer warranty in this case.
Hide head 11''
€38.00
Hide head 11'' / goat skin with aluminium rim, Contemporanea
Information about mounting hide heads:Natural heads tend to twist when they are unmounted due to different air humidity and temperature. When you are ready to put the head on your instrument and see that it is twisted, moisten (not soak!) the head carefully with a kitchen sponge, then put it on a flat surface and push the drum shell in the rim from above. Put your drum loosely back together and wait until the head is dry before putting any tension on it. Let it dry slowly in the air (best overnight), don't use heaters, hairdryers and don't leave it in the sun as it will make the head brittle and prone to tear.

Head 18'' korino inverted
€37.50
Inverted korino head 18'' by Contemporânea:A nappa head with a new concept! The artificial nappa skin is on the inside of a double-layered head, the white nylon head is on top. The sound has more volume and a fuller bass, the beat stays clear and accentuated. Until recently the typical full sound of korino heads was only possible by missing out the defined 'attack'. This new head from Timbra has both: a deep impressive bass and a clear beat!
Nappa or korino heads are multi-ply synthetic layers of artificial leather and nylon. This construction reacts quite sensitive to beaters which are too hard. The head will brake if you use beaters with too little padding. We recommend that for korino heads you use only beaters with plenty of padding.

€229.00*
Pagode allrounder for all occasionsYour faithful companion for all Pagode sessions, quite unsensitive to humid weather, rustical, all shiny polished and with a nice and full bass sound! A double-layered korino head produces the typical-bass sound with which the Rebolo gives the pulse in Pagode sessions on the beach, in a bar or on stage while accompaning smaller percussion ensembles. The contra rhythms you play either on the inside or on the outside of the rebolo body sound especially pretty if you play with a ring on your finger. Typical Contemporanea - the shell is made of stronger aluminium sheet and therefore has a very voluminous sound. An attached ring is installed on the outside of the shell so that you can hook the rebolo on a strap and play comfortably while standing up!

Head 22'' Super Nylon
€42.00
Fibreglass coated 22'' Supernylon surdo batter head by Contemporânea
Fibreglass coated, thick tamborim head filters out unwanted overtones.
Supernylon heads are made of a foil 32% times thicker than standard heads and have a special fibreglass coating on the underside producing a specific sound characteristic: reduced overtones, amplified mids, powerful sound. Super nylon heads are also particularly durable. Super nylon heads are always meant to be superior heads (batter heads), as they vibrate less due to their thick foil and their coating and they are therefore not suitable as resonance heads.Poor overtones, rich mids, durable, strong drum head.
Good to know:Give your head some time to settle! You will notice that there is a lot of strange sounds going on when you put on a new head. At first, a new drum head might sound a bit squeaky, until it gets used to the tension and the rim, it will stretch and eventually settle nicely onto the rim and into the hardware. In short - give it some time! A new head needs a few rehearsals until it sounds really good. A super nylon head is suitable for you if you like rich, strong and overtone-poor sound and you are looking for an especially durable head.

Timbal 14'' x 70 cm - 16 hooks, varnished woodThe new trend from Salvador da Bahia: a timbal with 16 tension rods. This timbal easily pitches up high for the authentic Bahia sound. The 16 tension rods spread the force of the pressure evenly onto the body.The instrument is made of varnished plywood sheets.Theoretically you can pitch this timbal up the same as an aluminium timbal with 16 hooks, nevertheless, it sounds nicer and warmer if you leave some of the characteristic low tuning which makes a wood shell sounds especially pretty.The timba is well-made and of the reliable Contemporanea standard, robust and suitable for street gigs and parades! The rim is smoothed out neatly and equipped with a hand-friendly chromed comfort rim. On the inside level where the tuning position is, an additional reinforcement ring is inserted. All Contemporanea timbals come with super nylon heads which have a special fibreglass layer on the reverse side. Those heads produce a full and open sound with only few overtones. As it is the case with many other wood instruments, the sound is generally a bit warmer and not as sharp-sounding as aluminium instruments.

Head 10'' Nylon
€13.30
Single-layered 10 “ nylon head by Contemporânea for repiniques, caixas and pandeirosSingle-layered nylon heads are the thinner standard version by Contemporânea and are very responsive with a clear, light sound and intentionally rich in overtones due to their vibrating stronger than thicker heads. This head is a good standard option for 10'' repiniques and caixas, or for Pagode style pandeiros. You will notice that between putting a new head on and playing on it for a while the sound will change positively. A new head might sound a bit whiny in the beginning, but as soon as it gets used to the tension and the rim of the shell, the sound will settle. As usual - good things are worth waiting for. A thin nylon head is suitable for you if you like the clear and light sound and if you want a head with an easy response.For repiniques, you can use this head as superior head to play on as well as a resonance head.
Head 10'' Super Nylon
€16.20
Fibreglass coated 10'' supernylon superior head for caixa, repinique and pandeiro - ContemporâneaDurable, strong, thick drum head with rich mids; fibreglass coating filters out unwanted overtones and reflects a balanced, strong sound. Supernylon heads are made of a foil 32% times thicker than standard heads and have a special fibreglass coating on the underside producing a specific sound characteristic: reduced overtones, amplified mids, powerful sound. Super nylon heads are also particularly durable. Super nylon heads are always meant to be superior heads (batter heads), as they vibrate less due to their thick foil and their coating and they are therefore not suitable as resonance heads.Good to know:Give your head some time to settle! You will notice that there is a lot of strange sounds going on when you put on a new head. At first, a new drum head might sound a bit squeaky, until it gets used to the tension and the rim, it will stretch and eventually settle nicely onto the rim and into the hardware. In short - give it some time! A new head needs a few rehearsals until it sounds really good. A super nylon head is suitable for you if you like rich, strong and overtone-poor sound and you are looking for an especially durable head.

Hide head Cuica 08'' aluminium rim
€49.00
Cuica hide head / replacement skin in aluminium ring for 10'' cuicaThe head comes with a ready-to-go gambito.
Tips for cuica skins:Cuica skins are a natural product made of goat skin and therefore quite sensitive. The skins should always be loosened after playing or for storage. Please store natural skins at normal room temperature. Do not store in damp areas, near heating or in a car. Heat and dry air make natural skins brittle and put them under extreme tension, which can cause the skin to tear. Cuica heads also break easily if you accidentally touch the skin too often with a damp cloth from the inside when playing. The water softens the skin around the knot, the high tension will stretch and eventually might tear the skin. If you are putting on a new skin and need to wetten it (e.g. because the rim is twisted), please make sure to let it dry completely before putting tension on it. This usually takes overnight. We strongly advise against speeding up drying by using a hair dryer, heating or direct sunlight which might cause damage to the skin.
Information for hide heads on aluminium rims:Natural heads tend to twist when unmounted, especially with when temperature and humidity changes. This can happen as well with heads on wood rims as with skins in aluminium rims. The aluminium hoops are grouted in a way that leaves a small open joint gap. This is not a defect nor a broken seam, but a tiny tolerance which is there on purpose so that the head can expand or tighten without damaging the hoop or the head when air moisture changes. If you have received a twisted head with an open gap on the aluminium rim, then that is quite normal and with only a few steps the head will easily fit on your instrument shell: Slightly moisten the head, wait a couple of minutes, then fit it on the shell and put your instrument back together loosely. Only put tension on the head once it has dried completely and in a natural way; this will usually take overnight. As soon as there is tension on the head, wrinkles and the twist will disappear and the head will easily adjust to the shape of the instrument shell.If you have any questions, give us a shout!

Signature aluminium repinique Gabriel Policarpo 12''x30 cm - Contemporanea PRO
Special design with lowered rim section and black superior head by Contemporanea - THE model for repinique freaks - the Signature line has some absolutely brilliant design details that will blow your mind. Yes, we know, it's beautiful.
The Lamborghini Miura among the repinique models you could say. Classic dimensions meet high-quality materials and best workmanship. Functionalities are embedded in the design and thus enable the highest level of playing comfort with exceptional sound qualities. Thick-walled aluminium is a typical Contemporanea PRO feature and ensures voluminous and saturated sound characteristics. 6 tension rods allow for authentic Rio-style tuning and leave enough space for your hand when using the hand-stick technique. Contemporanea PRO generally likes to sound more voluminous than thin-walled instruments.

No more annoying rim, less injury potential and finally a cleaner sound, because now you can concentrate on your playing technique, your sound and your solos without any obstacles.
Special design:Black, thick nylon superior head, Gabriel Policarpo signature print on the shell.
Gabriel Policarpo is a top-class reference in the Samba scene of Rio and is internationally known for his combo with Bernardo Aguiar, with whom he founded the Pandeiro Repique Duo (PRD) and inspired not only sambistas worldwide. Gabriel Policarpo also gives workshops internationally and appears in collaborations with celebrities from the Brazilian music scene such as Yamandú Costa, Chico César, Hamilton de Holanda, Marcos Suzano and even with Guns N' Roses and many others.

Head 24'' Nylon
€49.19
24“ nylon head / single-layered surdo head by ContemporâneaThe single-layered 24'' standard nylon heads by Contemporânea are classic surdo heads with very responsive and high vibration behaviour, which clear and light sound spectrum can conveniently be used on both surdo sides (superior and/or resonance head). The thickness of your surdo head contributes significantly to the general sound characteristics of your instrument, therefore it is important to know what sound you like and are looking to achieve, and how your surdo shell reacts in combination with the head. 24'' surdos are pretty much king-size instruments and play the lowest bass lines in Samba styles, so if you are looking for a light but full, voluminous sound with much sustain and overtones, a single-layered head is a good choice. Single-layered nylon heads are very responsive and intentionally overtone-based, if you feel you'd like a bit less, you can easily muffle the head with some tape; single-layered nylon heads are durable, weatherproof and can be used on both sides as batter or resonance head on a surdo - all good reasons why this type of head is so very popular. Single-layered nylon heads are the thinner standard version by Contemporânea and are very responsive with a clear, light sound and intentionally rich in overtones due to their vibrating stronger than thicker heads. You will notice that a while after putting on a new head on your surdo, the sound will change positively. A new head will usually sound a bit whiny in the beginning, it needs to find its 'groove' first. As soon as it gets used to the tension, the rim of the shell and to being played regularly, the sound will settle nicely. As usual - good things are worth waiting for. A thin nylon head is suitable for you if you like the clear and light sound and if you want a head with an easy response.

Timbal aluminium 14''x80cm
€329.00*
14'' x 80cm timbal - compact size for big time soundJust what we needed: the perfect in-between-size between the standard 90cm timbal and the short 70cm timbal for shorter sambistas.This 80cm timbal is an ideal size if you are looking for a compact timbal without having to cut back on sound quality. The diametre is a standard 14'' - same as the high timbals, only that the body is shorter. The Contemporanea PRO series builds with thick-walled aluminium giving their instruments a full and voluminous sound. 16 hooks and the specially designed timbal head make this timbal super attractive and also allow the the typical extra-high Bahia style pitching without any efforts. Aluminium timbals sound sharper than wooden timbals. If you play many outdoor gigs with your bloco, you'll find the sound of this aluminium timbal easier to recognise as it is more present. If it rains much where you live, no more worries about your instrument as aluminium timbals are really easy to maintain and they don't give much about humidity. Keep in mind that 16 tension hooks mean a lot of hardware, you will notice this in the weight of the instrument, even though this 80cm version already saves you almost 1 kg compared to the 90cm / 16 hook model. If you plan to walk many street parades, you might be better off with a lighter model.
The polished aluminium is definitively an eye-catcher, and the chromed comfort rim protects your hands.
