Samba heavy drums Instrument Definition: energy and vigor

Questions Samba instruments have been constant since we started Write About Carnival in Brazil. I think there's a fascination upon this subject, which can be easily understood. When we think of a band or group Typically, we knew at the top of the head of some of the instruments saxophones, clarinets, piano, etc. We have been listening to them, learning about them, and have played since the very early stages in our lives. Samba instruments on the other hand, are very specific and some only "exist" officially since the 1950s.

Another possible reason for this curiosity is probably due to the fact that many ordinary people instruments have been used for industrial or large scale outside of Brazil. They are really very recent phenomena samba, speak. For this reason, we write two specific sections of the instruments used in samba carnival in Brazil, compared to what we call "Light Samba Instruments "and the other is commonly called" Samba heavy instruments. " As you read, most of them have African roots and gradually adapted to the use of the samba school. On this page you will see the samba group heavy instruments. Let's see their description!

Surdo Primeira of (surdo first):

This is the greatest absurdity (bass drum), which gives rise its fundamental marcação [the second largest battle] to the samba-base. The Surdo Primeira is responsible for the main blow, so that everyone can concentrate. Singers are guided by the absurdity of not speeding or failure. In general, it is an absurdity primeira right next to the singers as a guide. It has a higher degree, a stronger framework of the surdos Resposta (drums answer the second and third surdos). A large battery is 8, 10, surdos or more.

This two-headed bass drum is perhaps the most recognizable of all Samba instruments, the sound of his deep 'Doom' provide the basic rhythm of the samba rhythm. The absurdity is played with a soft mallet head and a bare hand (to moisten the head and change the tone drum), or with two bridges (such as samba reggae and other styles of the north-eastern Brazil). The nonsense word literally means "deaf" and is at the heart of the battery.

"Bum bum Paticumbum Prugurundum" – the name of a subject-Império Serrano samba is a champion in 1982, was the expression onomatopoeia used by the great composer of samba Ismael Silva to show how a beat should be Surdo.

Second Surdo (Surdo II):

This is the answer to the absurdity of Primeira. It supports the samba rhythm while the absurdity of being in primeira [rest in note values] equality, is the counterpoint. Surdo The secondary is also less than one surdo primeiro adjusted. The second part of surdo first half of the samba (the downbeat) to provide a BPM counter for the absurdity of relevance. Physically, it is the same drum itself.

Surdo Terceira (Surdo third):

The "Surdo Terceira" bells among the other two (just before the absurdity of a second). There is particular freshness to the pace, breaking the rigidity of the other two back straps and a swing rhythm. The rate varies according to each samba school, but each has its own how to add the third surdo, sometimes called the absurdity of the cut.

surdos battery Mangueira Resposta not (second or third). Just the first and cut a certain absurdity, also called surdo-Mor, which is not exactly an answer, but the first change.

Caixa Guerra war drum ():

This is what gives character to the samba. La Caixa is a snare-type double-headed drum beaten with two sticks. Unlike the box, the Caixa has a trap composed of 2 or 4 son or cables in the upper part of the drum. Play usually by a variety different ways to produce interesting cross-rhythms on drums. The drum can be played at the navel, Baixo em or hold a arm at the head, "top Em They are what I call the" soldiers "of the section of samba drums! If you have a lot of them, the drums are dynamic.

Only through its Caixa can identify a certain school. How to play the Caixa also varies from one school to another: in some the player puts the drum of the belt, playing with both hands, others put the top Caixa, with one hand for support and the other free. A TAROL a small drum trap, and the sound and size are equivalent to the call trap Meia Caixa [Media].

Ringtone:

The ring is 12 "x 14 barrels in size. It is played with a stick and a bare hand or with two sticks of soft plastic, the ring is a small drum with two heads is set very high. This tool leads to the battery, indicating breaks and internal stimuli, playing improvised solos. Is equivalent to the tom-tom drum non-Brazilian tenor drum kit or marching bands. He is listening very high to produce a sound that cuts through the sound of rest of the battery.

Normally, your body is metal. Heads, nylon, are tightened with metal bars tuned. Instrument is generally smaller in diameter than the Brazilian Caixa (snare), but several inches tall and have no trap. This is done by a strap attached to one of the sliders. The ring is definitely the master of paradinha and turns of the samba is the signal the return of other instruments. In the past, has dominated the ring paradinha. These days, mixers and other small drums [] Tamborim allowed while rest of the battery is silent. This instrument is normally played by drummers samba samba-up!

Repinique

Similar to the ringtone, drum two heads, but is thinner, but the function is approximately the same. In schools like Salgueiro Unite da Tijuca, Vila Isabel, Estacio de Sa e Mangueira the tone is very widespread. Portela Tradição Vibrant and Whimsical samba schools of Rio, highlight Repinique.
