Versatile, lightweight practice pandeiro for all those who want to up their playing habits without having to drive to the rehearsal room or just want to enjoy a little session with consideration for flatmates, family members and neighbours. With its Linha Estudo, Contemporanea has designed a series of interesting practice instruments that catch the eye with features very similar to the ''real'' instruments. The Silent Pandeiro not only feels like a normal pandeiro, but can also produce all the essential characteristics of pandeiro playing in terms of feel, weight and jingle response, but in silence. Pandeiros are not loud instruments like bateria instruments, however, those of you who have small children or fussy neighbours, or non-sambista partners, will appreciate being able to practise at home but without getting in anyone's way. The pandeiro is an instrument that needs to be practised with particular regularity to build up strength, stamina and to develop a playing feel. Rubberised jingles dampen the sound and a practice mesh replaces the normal nylon head for realistic rebound.
Customer reviews for "Linha Estudo Silent Pandeiro 12''"
"Contemporânea"
CONTEMPORÂNEA in Brazil
This brand has a long tradition and good reputation in Brazil. Intensive contact to the musicians has always been an important part of their business strategy. They not only sell instruments, but mainly live their music. Every Saturday morning, many musicians meet up in CONTEMPORÂNEA´S music shop in the historic center of São Paulo. In a special back room, musicians of every age play Choro. The pagodeiros meet up in front of the shop for playing their sessions. Many of São Paulo´s smaller and larger Samba schools play CONTEMPORÂNEA instruments.
CONTEMPORÂNEA in Europe
Also in Europe CONTEMPORÂNEA is a popular brand which you sometimes even find in drum- and percussion shops that don´t have so much to do with Samba.
Instruments
CONTEMPORÂNEA has two lines: CONTEMPORÂNEA LIGHT and CONTEMPORÂNEA PRO.
The instruments of the LIGHT line are made of matt aluminium. Kept in a simple design and not being polished, the LIGHT line can be offered at a lower price and without suffering quality loss in terms of sound or durability. The robust PRO line is made of polished aluminium or wood.
Compared to other brands that also use aluminium for building instruments, CONTEMPORÂNEA instruments made from aluminium stand out by being built of thicker material which provides a massive sound to repinique, caixa and surdo, but therefore also a higher weight.
I already had the Contemporanea 10 inch silent pandeiro for practicing in the evening at home and in cruise ship cabins but it wasn’t replicating my 12 inch Pro Leve so I just had to get the 12 inch silent version.
Result….happiness, it’s lightweight and feels just like a quality 12 inch pandeiro but is quiet.
The mesh doesn’t bounce as well as nylon of course but it’s near enough to mean that I never miss a day of practice, even late at night or in a hotel room.
Thank you Contemporanea for making this instrument and thank you Kalango for rapid shipping to the UK.
