9 Item(s) Page 1 of 1 | 1 The caixa is a snare drum made from a metal cylinder with a nylon skin at both ends and a string snare across the top of the playing end. The best caixas are made from aluminium. Caixas can be of various widths and depths; the standard sized caixa used in Rio baterias is 12" wide by 15 or 20cm deep.
The caixa has a determining influence on the rhythmic identity of a samba band bateria, supporting the rhythm of the surdo with its fast, complex, repetitive rhythm. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
