Chocalho - product guide

Chocalhois the Brazilian term for all kinds of shakers. Ganzas are shakers made out of tubes filled with beads, metal plates etc., rocars are shakers with jingles.

Ganza or Rocar?

This primarily depends on how loud you want it to be. The rocar is defintely louder than a ganza. A single rocar is easily able to prevail as part of a large batucada, a single ganza is simply not loud enough. On the other hand a rocar is too loud in a smaller band or a Pagode, whereas the ganza is perfect. The style of music you want to play is also important for your decision. A rocar is typical for Rio Samba, ganzas are preferred in Bahia’s Bloco Afro. The rocar is more difficult to play. It is heavier and calls for more accuracy in your movements. The sound is more percussive which of therefore demands more precise playing. This may be a good reason for beginners to choose a ganza instead of a rocar.

 

Rocar

 

Rocars with aluminium frames have more jingles than rocars with wooden handles and are therefore louder. Depending on the amount of jingles, the size of the frame or the length of the handle, their weight can be quite different. Please check the technical details of each instrument for more information. Note that due to the metal jingles constantly hitting on the metal frame, the aluminium rocars wear out faster.

The shape, material and thickness of the jingles influences the sound strongly. Jingles made out of metal sheet (e.g. Contemporânea) sound very dry, the ones made from zinc sheet have a more authentic and “dirty” sound. Jingles made from inox sound brighter and are very popular.

 

Ganza

 

Double ganzas are louder and of course heavier than the single ones, but since all ganzas are usually made out of light weighted aluminium this should not have relevance on your choice. Double ganzas demand a more precise playing technique.

The larger the louder, the smaller the quieter! The longer a Ganza gets, the larger the diameter usually is. A long ganza with a large diameter offers more possibilities but also demands a more precise playing technique. The size of your handbag may also be a criteria of the right choice.

In general, ganzas are filled with small metal plates, which make them sound sharp and “dirty”. This is the essential difference to shakers which usually are filled with little beads and are mainly used for smaller instrumentations. They sound softer and rounder and are not loud enough for larger percussion sets. An exception is the ganza Maracatu from Barravento: its body is made out of zinc sheet and is filled with natural seeds that produce a very soft and clear sound.

Ganza Bloco 60cm
Ganza 60cm - Aluminium Pejota's ganzas have been popular through many music scenes since 2000. This model has a diameter of 8 cm and is made of folded aluminium with a special filling made of different materials based on glass- and plastic beads. The sound is powerful and fits perfectly to music styles across the Latin range: from Brazil sounds to traditional Salsa, from Rumba to Maracatú, from Cumbia, Merengue or Afrobeats to Electro mash-ups, there are no limits to your imagination. Aluminium sounds somewhat finer and less coarse than steel sheet, also it weighs less. Hold the caps of the ganza on the left and right with each hand and shake the tube like a Cuban torpedo - shift the rhythm between both hands rather than shaking simultaneously. Like this you can easily reach high speed, it is fantastic to look at and brings some crazy and beautiful momentum to every band. The rhythm drives forward and develops swing. Of course you can also shake classically or come up with your own shaking rhythms.This instrument is handmade and reflects the authentic and rustic style of metal instruments as played in Brazil with street Samba. Materials such as simple sheet metal are used and folded using simple methods so that small stains, scratches or unevenness are part of the style. We find that these characteristics enhance the character and charisma of this instrument.

With its vibrant style and Gope’s funky colors, it’s a proper eye-catcher.

Caixa de Guerra Tarol 14''x10cm
Gope
Caixa de Guerra Tarol 14''x10cm
Caixa for Samba Reggae, 14'' x 10 cm – Aluminium, GopeSamba Reggae like in Salvador! This caixa is a bit different from the standard ones – it has a slimmer shell, which is usually a few centimeters taller in other models. The result? Less sustain, giving you a crisp, lighter sound that fits perfectly into Samba Reggae rhythms, and the reduced weight makes it a great choice for long parades or performances.The shell is made of aluminum with a welded seam and snare wires that are permanently engaged. Unlike a standard drum kit snare, which often has a mechanism to disengage the wires for quieter moments, Samba caixas are designed with the snare wires fixed in place for a continuous resonance that defines the style. Thanks to the welded construction, the metal vibrates more freely, giving the sound a full, rich resonance.The hardware is slim but sturdy, inspired by Gope’s popular lightweight surdos, which helps keep the instrument light without sacrificing durability.If you’re after a caixa that’s easy to carry, sounds crisp, and works perfectly for Samba Reggae, this one from Gope is definitely worth a look!

Timbal 14''x90cm green
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.
