Tamborim - product guide

Wooden frames are great for Pagode ensembles or anyone who doesn´t need to pitch his tamborim too high. The frames wouldn´t resist high tuning, they are simply not built for that purpose. The advantage of wooden tamborims is their light weight and warm sound. Steelplate frames are very suitable for high tuning, and still their weight is moderate. They often have a tinkling sound since the thin frame tends to resonate. Aluminium frames are - if thick enough, suited best for Batucadas. They sound very dry but weigh only little more than tamborims with wooden frames. Frames made out of ABS or other synthetic materials are perfect for beginners who don’t want to spend too much money. They are low priced because the manufacturers use simple components like hooks etc.

A good tamborim actually does not need more than 6 hooks to be tuned well. More important is the position of the hand which holds the instrument: if you hold it from the outside with both thumb and little finger the gap between the hooks, your hand should fit in the gap. If you hold it only with your thumb outside of the frame, the position or amount of hooks is not important

It is very difficult to build a stable and light-weighted tamborim that is suitable for being tuned up high.You will always have to make a compromise between weight and stability. A heavier tamborim with a thick frame sounds better, but especially beginners want to play a light-weight instrument. So if you want to play the turning technique on a high tuned instrument, you should not care about a few grams more! If your playing technique is right, the weight is not important anyways

The opinions break up here: In Brazil high frames are favoured, whereas Europeans prefer flat frames. If you have small hands and would also like to play tamborim figures with your fingertips from the inside of the head, then you should pick a low framed instrument.

The normal synthetic head is suitable for everyday playing. Goatskin heads sound nice in Pagodes, holographic heads are nice to show off but rather belong in a showcase.

The frame is a 50mm medium-high one, the 8 hooks and tension hoop are chromed. A wooden frame sounds warmer than a metal frame and of course it also has a very different haptics - warmer and softer than metal. In exchange tuning it up very high is limited as wood of course is not as sturdy as aluminium.

Tamborim 06'' Signature Chris Quade Couto

Contemporânea

Tamborim 06'' Signature Chris Quade Couto

Extra high frame, 8 hooks - Chris Quade Couto's signature tamborim, ContemporaneaThe story behind this tam is refreshingly pragmatic:Chris Quade Couto wanted a tamborim with an extra high frame for his large hands and also because he holds the tam with only his thumb on the outside and all other fingers on the inner frame. This holding technique has become quite popular, but if the frame is not high enough, the finger tips will touch the head from the inside. From a technical point of view, this way to hold is is a matter of taste, as you can't turn the tamborim on its own axis. You will have to compensate with your wrist. This again many players find a lot easier, as less weight is put on the pinky as if you held the tam in your spread open hand.Typical Contemporanea: thick-walled aluminium which features a saturated, full and present sound. Thicker sheet and a higher shell produce a somewhat fuller, not necessarily louder but more open, slightly lower tone. If you want more to the sound than just the regular 'pock' of a super high pitched tam, then this instrument will be able to give you what you are looking for.On its lower side, the tamborim edge is curved to the inside providing more holding comfort and many tamborim players actually find this shape very enjoyable.A professional instrument for Rio-style bateria freaks who play a lot.Chris Quade Couto is a musician and multi-percussionist from Cologne, Germany and has been playing with G.R.E.S. Unidos da Tijuca in the Grupo Especial of Rio's top league Samba for many years. On the tam, he is an absolute professional and Contemporanea has dedicated this signature instrument to him.

Viele Axé-Popbands, Samba Reggae Blocos und auch Sambaschulen in Rio folgen seit einigen Jahren dem Trend, Timbals extrem hoch zu stimmen.
