Contemporanea 12" x 17cm Caixa Light

The caixa drum is a popular choice in Brazilian music, especially in samba and related genres. It has a bright and crisp sound, perfect for playing with sticks or brushes.

Resembling a standard snare drum, the caixa has a shallow drum shell and metal snares stretched across the bottom head. These snares create the distinctive snappy sound of the caixa.

In samba music, the caixa is essential for providing rhythmic patterns and accents, adding to the energetic pulse of the music. It is often paired with instruments like the surdo, tamborim, and agogô in samba ensembles.

Different caixa drums can vary in size and material, some with metal shells and others made of wood. Tuned to produce a cutting and high-pitched sound, the caixa complements the overall ensemble beautifully.
