RemoCapoeira Pandeiro Snake Skin 10 In x 1.78 In
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 10-inch Capoeira pandeiro with a snake skin graphic head. For Brazilian percussion players and anyone learning samba, choro or capoeira rhythms.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Capoeira rodas where the pandeiro carries the rhythm
- Samba and choro players needing a standard 10-inch instrument
- Percussionists wanting one drum that covers bass, slap and jingles
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a jingle-free frame drum for quiet acoustic work
- Anyone expecting tambourine technique; pandeiro strokes differ
- Players needing a large, deep low voice from a hand drum
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.
Detail 02
1.78-inch shell depth
Shallow shell keeps the drum light in one hand through long rolls and keeps the tone dry rather than boomy.
Detail 03
Snake skin head graphic
Printed pattern on the playing surface. Cosmetic; the feel under your fingers is what drives tone and speed.
Detail 04
Jingles in the shell
Cupped jingles ride against the frame, so wrist motion alone produces a continuous shaker layer under the hand strokes.
Detail 05
$107.99
Entry to mid pricing. Enough drum to learn correct technique on without kids-instrument compromises.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Pandeiro technique is thumb, fingertips, heel and slap in rotation — expect a learning curve
- 02Jingle rattle carries; it will bleed into close microphones on quiet recordings
- 03Head tension is adjustable at the rim; check tuning before your first session
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between a pandeiro and a tambourine?
Pandeiro jingles are cupped and drier, the head is tunable, and it is played with a rotating four-part hand stroke rather than shaken.
02Is 10 inches the right size?
Yes, 10 inches is the standard for capoeira, samba and choro. Larger sizes trade speed for depth.
03Can I tune it?
The head tension is adjustable at the rim. Tighter gives a higher, snappier slap; looser gives more bass from the center stroke.
04Is this suitable for a beginner?
Yes. It is a full-size standard instrument at an entry price, so technique learned on it transfers directly to better pandeiros.
