Your big bass buddy for all Pagode sessions, quite unsensitive to humid weather, rustical, shiny polished finish and with voluminous XL bass sound! A double-layered korino head produces the typical bass sound with which the tan tan gives the pulse in Pagode sessions when accompaning percussion ensembles. The contra rhythms you play on the outside of the tan tan shell sound especially pretty if you play with a ring on your finger. Or you just use your flat hand. Typical Contemporanea - the shell is made of stronger aluminium sheet and therefore has a very voluminous sound. 2 attached rings are installed on the outside of the shell so that you can hook the tan tan on a strap and play comfortably while standing up!

Contemporânea
CONTEMPORÂNEA in Brazil
This brand has a long tradition and good reputation in Brazil. Intensive contact to the musicians has always been an important part of their business strategy. They not only sell instruments, but mainly live their music. Every Saturday morning, many musicians meet up in CONTEMPORÂNEA´S music shop in the historic center of São Paulo. In a special back room, musicians of every age play Choro. The pagodeiros meet up in front of the shop for playing their sessions. Many of São Paulo´s smaller and larger Samba schools play CONTEMPORÂNEA instruments.
CONTEMPORÂNEA in Europe
Also in Europe CONTEMPORÂNEA is a popular brand which you sometimes even find in drum- and percussion shops that don´t have so much to do with Samba.
Instruments
CONTEMPORÂNEA has two lines: CONTEMPORÂNEA LIGHT and CONTEMPORÂNEA PRO.
The instruments of the LIGHT line are made of matt aluminium. Kept in a simple design and not being polished, the LIGHT line can be offered at a lower price and without suffering quality loss in terms of sound or durability. The robust PRO line is made of polished aluminium or wood.
Compared to other brands that also use aluminium for building instruments, CONTEMPORÂNEA instruments made from aluminium stand out by being built of thicker material which provides a massive sound to repinique, caixa and surdo, but therefore also a higher weight.

When you buy an instrument on
When you buy an instrument on the internet you can't check how it feels under your hand. I was amazed by the difference in sound on the demo-clips in the website. Now that I have this aluminium drum I'm wondering if I'd have more pleasure with the harmonics of a wooden tantan.
