Tarol Vazado 12'' x 17 cm - the tarol with no body!
A real eyecatcher!
In Rio, the latest version of this instrument is the newest blowoff and ist literally shaking up the sambaschools: The Son Duplo tarol with no body! A flat iron support frame creates the illusion of a closed corpus. The caixa has the same size as the instruments made from aluminium. The sensational sound however differs significantly. Tremendously direct and loud, without the restriction of the surrounding shell.
A flash for all tarol players
The sound can escape directly, it literally reaches you directly meaning that even if you play in a strong bateria you will be able to easily hear yourself!
The tarol vazado sounds extra-dry and has due to its short body extremely little sustain!
As usual with all IVSOM instruments, the tension rods are screwed down flush with the fittings in the ring. All important details such as a smoothed out rims for ideal skin fitting, string accomodation, tension hoops, threads etc. are neatly manufactured in the usual good quality IVSOM manner.
Amongst others, IVSOM provides the sambaschool Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel in Rio de Janeiro with his instruments. Being a mechanic and a caixa player, he disposes of ideal abilities for building good quality Samba instruments.
"Ivsom"
IVSOM in Brazil
IVSOM is a producer of authentic Samba instruments in Rio de Janeiro. The brand name is a wordplay with his own name which is Ivson, and the Braziliain word for sound which is 'som'. Before becoming self-employed, Ivson absolved a profound formation in the metalworking craft sector. Ivson has been an active sambista for many years. He plays caixa for Mocidade, his wife and business partner Luciana plays the chocalho. Therefore he is very close to his clients and knows exactly, what is in demand. Ivson actively participates in the production of his instruments and makes excellent-quality instruments in a very well organized workshop. Some of Rio´s major Samba schools play his instruments. Quite frecuently Ivson surprises us with new features and innovations. Due to his close contact to the Samba scene, he is often the first to convert buzzing ideas and or incitations into useful inspiration for making new instruments. The IVSOM 'vasado' caixas and repiniques created the trend of instruments without bodies.
IVSOM in Europe
IVSOM instruments have gained high recognition amongst Hardcore Rio Sambistas in Europe within the last couple of years. Especially their good workmanship and the excellent sound of the drums have attracted the percussionist´s attenention over here. The number of IVSOM fans is growing larger each year.
Percussion instrumens
IVSOM drums have a couple of untypical characteristics. For example, the tension rods are flush with the rim. This link is very stable and absolutely free of rattling noises, but a bit more time-consuming in its montage. The surdos have a neat detail concerning the rims of the body where the head rests. The body´s wall is rimmed around a 10 mm flat bar. With this the corpus is a lot more stable than other bodies where wire is used for reinforcement. Like this the drums obtain a smooth and flat rim for ideal head fitting. IVSOM´s reference product is the rocar..
DIE Caixa mit dem schönsten Rimshot-Sound, die ich je gespielt habe.
Aufgrund der geringen Höhe (Tarol) für EmCima-Spiel prädestiniert.
Leichter als die große Vazado, für Reisen gut geeignet.
Hat meine Freude am Caixa-EmcimaSpielen deutlich erhöht ( und das nach 20 Jahren!)
