The Percussion Plus 12in snare drum with vest harness is a traditional caixa samba drum designed for vibrant ensemble playing. Widely used in Brazilian samba music, the caixa provides the repetitive, swinging rhythms that help drive the ensemble, delivering a bright, articulate sound that complements the deeper voices of the surdos and other samba percussion. Its lively tone also makes it a versatile addition to school music departments, marching bands and community percussion groups.
Built from lightweight aluminium, the drum is comfortable to carry without compromising on durability. It is supplied with an adjustable vest harness that distributes the weight evenly across the upper body, allowing players to move freely while performing. Complete with a pair of solid wood beaters, this package includes everything needed to start playing straight away.
The caixa is a key instrument in Brazilian samba ensembles, creating the characteristic rhythmic pulse that underpins the music. Its crisp, cutting snare sound projects clearly through larger groups, making it equally effective in outdoor performances and indoor rehearsals.
The aluminium shell keeps the drum lightweight while producing a bright, resonant tone. Its durable construction is designed to withstand regular rehearsals, performances and transport, making it well suited to educational settings and community ensembles.
The included vest harness provides a secure and supportive fit, allowing players to perform while standing or marching. By distributing the drum's weight across the shoulders and torso, it offers greater comfort during extended rehearsals, parades and outdoor events than a traditional shoulder strap. The supplied pair of solid wood beaters means the drum is ready to play straight out of the box.
