Caixa - product guide

What are you looking for: a caixa with snare wires, a drumset snare or a caixa with strings?

 

Caixa with snare wires

This type of caixa is an allrounder instrument and can be played in (almost) all Brazilian grooves. Formerly it was mainly used in Rios Samba schools, nowadays it´s played in all kinds of drumming formations. Samba Reggae, Maracatu and many of the Bahian style grooves get their swing last but not least because of the dense white sound of their caixas with snare wires. This caixa - or maybe also a snare - should be the first choice for groups who feel at home in different styles of Brazilian music.

The most common size for a snare wire caixa is 14'', but also 12'' instruments are very popular. Some manufacturers offer 10'' sizes for kids.

 

Drumset snare

The drumset snare is louder than the Brazilian caixa. This may be an advantage if you have only one caixa playing in a larger line-up. The snare sound varies considerably depending on the its size, the material of the shell and especially the tuning of the instrument. Drumset snares are ( similar to caixa with snare wires ) real allrounders and go well with quite a lot of Brazilian drumming styles. Due to the bulkier shell and stronger tuning system this snare naturally is a bit heavier than a caixa. Make it more comfortable to wear by using a legrest e.g. as used in marching bands.

Snares are the more sophisticated relatives of the traditional caixas. With a lifting mechanism, the so called snare strainer, the contact between the snare wires and the resonance head can be interrupted. The batter head and the resonance head can be tuned seperately. With this you can tune your instrument much cleaner and more defined, though it needs quite some experience. There are so many different types of snare drums on the market, KALANGO decided just to offer a small selection of fair-priced and Samba-suitable snares.

Caixa with strings

For Batucada (Rio Samba), caixas with strings are commonly used. The function of strings is to produce short and fat sounding beats. The caixa is played on the head on which the strings are tightened onto. Batter head and resonance head are equally thick and tuned with end-to-end tuning rods. Several caixas played together sound really great!

  • 12'' x 17cm (Malacacheta / Caixa de Guerra)

This size is the most common. It fits for playing on the crook of your arm (em cima) as well as on your hip or in front of your stomach. Full sound!

  • 12''x 10cm (Tarol)

Typically this size is played in the "em cima" position. You could also play this caixa half-up underneith your armpit with a shoulder strap! A hip strap can be used if you like playing the traditional grip.Percussive sharp sound!

  • 14'' Caixa

For Batucada the 14'' caixa with snare strings is not so common. It is only characteristic for the Samba school of Imperio Serrano. In order to show off its extra full sound, this caixa is not pitched as high as a 12" caixa.

Aluminium

Aluminium weighs less and hardly oxidizes. The sound is more metallic.

Galvanized steelplate

The galvanized body of steelplate instruments loses its glossy surface quite soon and turns matt. The caixa´s shell is a bit heavier and you do feel it a little when playing "em cima", still many sambistas favour this caixa because of its typical, dirty and very dry sound. You will see galvanized steelplate caixas a lot in the samba schools, simply because it´s a great sounding instrument and it´s cheaper than aluminium.

Lightweight caixa for Samba Reggae, 14'' x 15 cm - aluminium - black, GopePlay Samba Reggae like in Salvador! 14'' is the standard snare format for Samba Reggae and Afro Samba. Gope instruments generally stand out by their extremely light weight. The shell is made of aluminium sheet with a welded seam and fixed snare wires. The hardware is painted black. A welded drum body has a higher vibration behavior in its sound, because the metal can resonate easier. Gope builds its drums in lightweight construction methods which made their range very popular, especially through their ultr-light surdos. They save weight by using thinner metal sheet and a strong construction of slim-line hardware.Rich sound and light-weight!

The snare-sound is simply doubled!Double stringed - double sound!An aspect for fine ears: often the typical Rio-style caixas have an annoying overtone, which automatically appears when you start playing the instrument. The double stringed caixa intuitively sounds more muffled due to the strings strapped to both heads. With this, disturbing side effects have no chance. The caixa sounds super dry, just the tone we´re searching for for a Rio style bateria. By the way, this caixa even sounds great if it is not pitched too high!Obvious fact is - this is a Rio Style caixa with massive and super sound! Samba trend and design by IVSOM for XL-sound!

Furacaixa 12''x17cm
Furacaixa 12'' x 17cm - the caixa with resonance holes A perforated shell? A caixa with holes? After the caixa vazada (the bodyless caixa), Ivsom has developed another spectacular instrument that not only impresses with a witty look but also with a top-quality sound. Due to the perforations, the furacaixa has an open sound similar to the caixa vazada. On the one side, the holes function as amplifier, so the caixa sounds really loud, and on the other hand like a monitor, you hear yourself playing in a bateria a lot better. The rims on the caixa have a strong shell sound just like normal caixas. Another real treat for caixas players, especially for those who like to play em cima (above). The furacaixa sound has the typical Ivsom-style dry and crispy sound and extremely little sustain. Like all Ivsom instruments, the lugs are screwed flush into the brackets of the rim. All important details such as the rim on which the head sits on, the string bed, rims, threads etc. are well manufactured and easy to handle (no squeaking!). The hardware is galvanized (yellow). IVSOM, among other supplier, builds instruments for the Samba school of Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel in Rio de Janeiro.

14'' x 80 cm timbal with 16 high-tension hooks, aluminium shell80cm timbals are the perfect alternative if you find the 90cm models too big and heavy, without compromising on sound – the difference in sound is so small that even trained ears will hardly notice it.Compact timbal for crisp, high tunings, clear and smacky slaps, powerful open tones, rich basses – this model from the top brand Timbra with 16 hooks can withstand the highest tuning! Many Axé Pop bands, Samba Reggae blocos and also Samba schools in Rio have been following the trend of tuning timbals extremely high for quite some years. In order to better distribute the high forces that occur when tuning high and to avoid overloading the shell, the tension is distributed to the shell by using more hooks. An additional reinforcing ring helps to balance the pressure. The shell is built for tunings that would not be possible with a traditional timbal. Very well made instrument.A true visual standout and a tonal masterpiece, robust and high-quality, crafted in the authentic Bahian style – this timbal fits perfectly into diverse musical worlds, from Samba Reggae blocos and Rio style batucadas to Brazilian, jazz, pop, or world music bands.

Timbal 14''x90cm purple
Allrounder aluminium timbal 14'' x 90 cm with 10 hooks, powder-coated finish - purple - GopeBig time bass tones and smacky slaps are en vogue with this model, 10 hooks allow for crisp tuning. Aluminium timbals add a sharper touch to your sound especially for street- and any outdoor gigs. This type of timbal is super easy to maintain, weather resistant and robust. The hardware is trimmed to a minimum weight - typical Gope style for lightweight construction; a rounded comfort rim makes playing particularly comfortable. The shell is welded at the seam, which emphasises more shell content in the sound, as the materials can resonate better. Nice all-rounder for all styles!
