Pagode
Bring the heart, warmth, and collective energy of Rio’s pagode to your next session. Born in the backyards, neighborhood bars, and samba club gatherings of Rio de Janeiro, pagode is all about intimate, swing driven acoustic groove. Whether you’re organizing a casual backyard jam, leading a stage performance, or building out your percussion setup, having the right authentic gear makes all the difference.
Our Pagode Collection features genuine Brazilian-made instruments and accessories imported directly from trusted makers like IZZO Instrumentos Musicais and TIMBRA Top Percussion. From deep, swinging bass hand drums to crisp, high register rhythm keepers, explore everything you need to drive the pulse:
-
Tan Tans & Rebolos: The foundational bass voice of the roda, available in classic aluminum, white powder-coated finishes, and natural goat skin or all weather synthetic heads.
-
Pandeiros: High articulation 10" and 12" frame drums engineered for crisp platinela jingles and fast, fluid finger-thumb technique.
-
Cuícas: Responsive 8" and 10" pitch bending friction drums that bring classic vocalized samba bends and solos to life.
-
Tamborims & Agogôs: Bright, cutting accent instruments designed to lock in syncopated counter-rhythms and call and response patterns.
-
Essential Accessories: Soft padded mallets, comfortable Jorginho shoulder straps, tuning keys, and replacement skin or synthetic heads to keep your gear stage-ready.
