About the Drums!
Surdo Drums: The surdo drums are the big bass drums used in Samba and other Brazilian Percussion styles. The Surdo's included in this pack are professional quality ‘miniature’ versions of full sized surdos. Perfect for little hands.
Timbal: A timbal is a Brazilin Hand drum (a bit like a modern djembe). These are special professional quality instruments but developed in Brazil for little hands. They can be used sat down or standing.
Repinique: The Repinique is used by the class teacher or band leader and used to signal stops, starts, call's and response.
Caixa (Mini Guerra 12"): The Caixa is a Brazilian ‘Snare Drum’. This specific snare drum is a professional quality instrument (so long lasting) but is a thinner and lighter version of the standard ‘samba’ snare so perfect for kids!
Tamborim: The tamborim is a small circular instrument used in Samba. It is one of the most important instruments in the Samba Schools of Brazil.
Mini Agogo: A double ‘cow bell’ made especially for small hands.
Apito: A Brazilian whistle used by the class teacher or band leader to signal changes in the music and attract attention. Save your voice!

Why should I use Bangdrum Packs?
Our Primary School Brazilian Drumming Packs have been put together by our expert workshop delivery team. Drawing upon over 150 years combined experience of delivering Brazilian Drumming workshops in primary schools we believe we have developed the perfect pack for your school drumming group.
By delivering workshops in literally hundreds of primary schools we have used nearly every drumming kit known to man and have used this experience to develop our own, more functional and child friendly solutions.We have seen that many drumming kits include items that are simply ‘useless’ in the delivery of Brazilian percussion at key stage one and two and have seen literally hundreds of instruments stuck in cupboards and under stairs gathering dust.Many musical instrument suppliers are simply not experienced workshop facilitators so their packs are based on financial data rather than delivery experience.Take it from us THESE ARE THE PACKS YOU NEED FOR YOUR SCHOOL!
Long lasting, high value, user friendly and logical instrument packs to make your music projects succeed at the highest level!
* All of our instruments are shipped directly from the instrument
manufacturers in Brazil. Because they have to come on such a long journey from time
to time we may need to exchange certain items for similar ones due to stock levels.
Rest assured the exchanged item will be of equal quality and suitability for the
chosen pack.
