Full sized lightweight aluminium 12" samba snare drum - caixa de Guera - professional quality. Made by Artcelsior or King.
Authentic full sized samba caixa snare drum. Made in Rio de Janeiro, for samba bands. Marvelous tone. Made by Artcelsior or King.
This gorgeous professional quality caixa drum is the make and model used most Rio and can be played
at waist height or up on the shoulder. It has a crisp, dry, high cutting tone, quite different from the
European style of snare drum. It has a wire snare and the drum is played with the snares on top.
The samba caixa should not be substituted for by a standard snare drum, which sounds totally different,
as well as being much heavier to carry.
Hardened aluminium shell, nylon skin with 6 tuning rods, snares on top, 12 inch nylon head,
17 cm deep body, but the drum is 20cm because of the tuning rings.
, made by craftsmen from Artcelsior or King Rio de Janeiro.
