Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Replacement beater stick for tamborim. A consumable — buy it when your old one splits or you need a spare in the bag.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Samba and pagode players replacing a worn tamborim stick
  • Keeping a spare in the gig bag
  • Percussion sections stocking up cheaply

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone without a tamborim — it plays nothing on its own
  • Players wanting a multi-strand nylon-tip beater instead

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

MEINL Tamborim Stick construction detail

Detail 01

Tamborim stick

Purpose-made for the small Brazilian frame drum. Standard drumsticks are too heavy and kill the tamborim's snap.

Detail 02

Single stick

One beater, not a pair. Tamborim is played one-handed, with the other hand holding the drum.

Detail 03

Under three dollars

Cheap enough to treat as a consumable. Buying two or three at once is normal practice.

Detail 04

Black finish

Cosmetic only. No effect on how it sounds or feels against the head.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Drum not included — this is the beater alone
  2. 02Tamborim sticks wear and split with use; order a spare
  3. 03Confirm your tamborim takes a single stick, not a multi-rod beater

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Is the tamborim included?

No. This is the stick only. The drum is a separate purchase.

02Can I use a regular drumstick on a tamborim?

You can, but it's too heavy and thick for the small head and mutes the sharp attack the drum is meant to produce. A dedicated tamborim stick is the right tool.

03How many should I buy?

At least two. They're inexpensive and they split with regular playing, so most players keep a spare in the bag.

04Is this a single stick or a pair?

A single stick. Tamborim is played one-handed while the other hand holds and turns the drum.
