Caixa de Guera

Samba Drums and percussion instruments / Caixa de Guera

Caixa - snare drum for samba percussion

The caixa de guera is a Brazilian samba snare drum. It is much lighter and dryer toned drum than a standard snare drum and has a straight wire snare on the top (playing) surface.

We sell the Artcelsior / King caixa drum which has clean, dry, cutting tones. Its light weight and superior tone makes these caixas the preferred choice of most Rio de Janeiro samba schools.

Sticks and straps supplied separately. To find out more about caixas, see below.

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.

TDSounds also sells the shallow-bodied snare drums known as tarols, and a dinky little 10" caixa for children, made to the same high specifications as all of our adult drums.

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.
