The Tamborim – Brazilian Frame Drum (Wooden & Plastic)

Very common in Brazilian music, The Tamborim reveals much of the percussive wealth of Brazil and it’s rich musical history.

The instrument is normally very tightly tuned in order to ensure a high, sharp timbre and a minimum sustain, giving it that quick percussive sound.

Used mainly by “samba schools” (Escolas de Samba) of Rio de Janeiro and traditional Sambas, this instrument represents much of the typical rhythm of Brazilian music.

Two sticks were used when recording the library: a traditional wooden stick and a plastic five stick used in samba schools.

The samples have more than 10 dynamic notes, ghost notes, hoops and characteristic Brazilian rhythms.

Patch List:

  • Brazillian Rhythms
  • Tamborim
  • Tripe Stick Tamborim

The Timbal – Brazilian Hand Drum

The Timbal is a Brazilian percussive instrument derived from Caxambu used mainly in the cultural afro-brazilian niche. It became popular in Brazil during the 90’s with a group called Timbalada founded by musician Carlinhos Brown.

The traditional Timbal is 14 inches in width and 35 inches in height. The instrument has rich harmonics and has great rhythmic power.

Very popular with musical genres such as Axé and Pagode. Currently the instrument is also used in other genres in Brazilian music.

The Timbal was recorded by the great musician and composer Marcos Nascimento (Sérgio Pererê/ Tambolelê) exploring rich rhythms from different styles such as Maracatu, Afoxé and Samba Duro.

  • Afoxe
  • Cells
  • Maracatu

The Grand Glass Marimba.

In Brazil, the glass marimba was popularized by Brazilian instrumental group UAKTI. Its members have built hundreds of percussion instruments, among them the glass marimba to a greater extent.

The Glass Marimba has a mysterious crystal-like sound that differs from a normal wooden marimba. Its a very unusual instrument that has a unique and distinct sound.

Two types of sticks were used when recording the library in order to diversify the textures and tones of the marimba. The library also explores chords, motifs and grooves to fully use in songs.

Two kinds of sticks were used. The first has a velvety sound and a smooth attack and the second brings a brighter sound with more presence.

There are no extended samples, each note has 8 velocities and all of them were separately sampled. More tone and performance.

Patch List:

  • Arpeggios
  • Blue Stick Close
  • Blue Stick Room Overheads
  • Chords Progressions
  • Motifs & Ostinatos
  • Yellow Stick Close
