Contemporânea Professional 6-Inch Aluminum Tamborim

Description

A professional 6-inch aluminum tamborim by Contemporânea, one of Brazil’s most respected percussion makers. Its lightweight aluminum shell delivers fast handling and a bright, projecting voice suited to samba, batucada, and percussion ensembles.

Lightweight, fast handling

At approximately 290 g, this is an exceptionally agile tamborim. The 50 mm shell is comfortable to hold, while the lower edge curves slightly inward for a secure feel during extended playing and fast-turning techniques.

High tension and clear projection

The nylon head is tensioned by eight tuning lugs with chrome-plated hardware. This construction supports a crisp, high tuning with the focused attack needed to cut through a bateria.
