The Pandeiro – Hand Held Frame Drum

The Pandeiro is a hand held frame drum with a unique, rich and full sound. Four instruments sampled in detail that explore the diversity and richness of Brazilian rhythms with a single touch. Samba, Choro, Frevo, Bossa-nova, Baião and other styles have been carefully worked out.

The library has four different Pandeiros produced by two major Brazilian Luthiers; Warley Dyorman and Jose Augusto.

Each Pandeiro has different components, two of them were handmade with platinum and worked in bronze.

Each Pandeiro has more than 20 dynamics and 80 different samples in the Round Robin every detail has been captured offering maximum dynamics. The rhythm section has variations in Brazilian styles and delivers more than 200 loops carefully prepared to be used in any musical project. Each Loop preserves the musical performance and swing while maintaining the beat.

The Pandeiros were performed by percussionist Paulo Gomes, night musician of “rodas mineiras” – spontaneous gatherings of musicians that play Samba and Choro throughout the city.
